Fiberglass Pool Cost in Port St. Lucie & Stuart, FL: 2025 Treasure Coast Pricing Guide

Homeowners on Florida's Treasure Coast are searching more than ever for fiberglass pool prices — and getting frustrated by vague online estimates. This guide gives you real numbers for Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City, and Hobe Sound based on actual projects we've completed in St. Lucie and Martin Counties.

## Fiberglass Pool Prices on the Treasure Coast (2025)

| Pool Type | Estimated Installed Cost | |---|---| | Small compact pool (10'–12' wide, basic package) | $43,000 – $62,000 | | Mid-size family pool (14' wide, standard equipment) | $62,000 – $85,000 | | Large pool or pool + spa (16'+ or integrated spa) | $85,000 – $130,000+ | | Screen enclosure (add-on) | $10,000 – $22,000 | | Paver deck upgrade (over basic concrete) | $6,000 – $18,000 |

These prices represent fully installed, turnkey projects including permits, pool shell, excavation, plumbing, equipment, and basic decking.

## What Drives the Cost of a Fiberglass Pool on the Treasure Coast?

### Pool Size The biggest cost driver. Width matters more than length — a 14'-wide pool costs significantly more than a 12'-wide pool due to the shell size and installation complexity.

### St. Lucie vs. Martin County Permit Fees - St. Lucie County: Pool permits typically run $400–$800 - Martin County: Martin County is known for thorough permitting; expect $600–$1,200 and slightly longer review times

### High Water Table Areas Parts of Port St. Lucie near the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, and areas of Jensen Beach and Palm City, have high water tables. This may require a hydrostatic pressure relief valve (typically a $500–$1,000 add-on) to prevent the pool from "floating" during heavy rain.

### Coastal Proximity Homes near the Atlantic coast or Intracoastal Waterway may face corrosion concerns for metal equipment components. Stainless steel or titanium equipment is recommended for saltwater-adjacent properties — a modest upgrade.

### Hurricane-Resistant Options On the Treasure Coast, hurricane season is real. Adding a screen enclosure with hurricane-rated materials costs more but protects your investment.

## Port St. Lucie vs. Stuart: What's Different?

Port St. Lucie (St. Lucie County) - More residential development, more pool installations occurring - Generally efficient permitting through St. Lucie County - Standard suburban lots — most accommodate 12'–14' wide pools comfortably - Pool community covenants in Tradition, PGA Village, St. Lucie West may apply

Stuart (Martin County) - Martin County has historically had stricter development rules - Premium waterfront lots have additional setback and environmental considerations - Higher-end neighborhoods mean more pool + spa + screen enclosure packages - Hobe Sound, Palm City, and Jensen Beach are also in Martin County
