The cost of a pool installation in Kent will depend on what type of pool will you want for your home. The two types of swimming pools are the above ground and in-ground pools. A standard 19’ diameter above ground swimming pool is estimated to cost around $6,250. On the other hand, the average 32’x16’ in-ground swimming pool is around $22,000.
