For Diego & Family
Diego — thanks for reaching out. Three honest paths to get a 24' round pool installed in White River Junction. The Good package is a no-heat starter at $7,000 — quality install, no heater. Better and Best both include propane heat: Better with a 100K BTU Hayward, Best with a 200K BTU plus salt and a variable-speed pump. Pick a tier, customize from there, and the total at the bottom updates as you go.
About this pricing.
This is built sight-unseen from what you shared on Thumbtack — a 24' round above-ground pool, full setup, at a property in White River Junction. The Good package is the no-heat foundation; Better and Best include a propane heater with LP fitting coordinated through Bourne's Energy. I've assumed standard site conditions: roughly level ground, accessible by truck, electrical service close enough to run a circuit, and (for Better/Best) either an existing LP tank on-site or a clear path to install one.
The numbers below are a starting point, not a final contract. Before anything is signed, I'll come by for a brief site visit to confirm site access, ground conditions, electrical routing, and the LP supply path. If your site has anything beyond standard — heavy slope, ledge, restricted gate access, long electrical runs, longer LP plumbing — the pricing will shift accordingly, usually upward.
Walk through this on your phone. Pick a tier, then customize from there — every component swap shows its price delta, and the running total at the bottom updates as you go. When you've got it dialed in, hit Submit at the bottom and I'll reach out within 24 hours to schedule a site visit.
Universal commitments.
Regardless of which tier you pick, every install includes the following.
Pick a tier. Customize from there.
Each tier is a complete, drop-in install. Pick one and the components below will snap to that tier's defaults — then swap any individual component up or down. The running total adjusts as you go.
Liner gauge and pattern.
The liner is the only thing between thirteen-thousand gallons of water and your backyard. It's also the single biggest predictor of how long the pool lasts before its next renovation. Vinyl thickness translates directly into years of life in the Vermont climate.
Liner gauge
Good and Better include 25-mil standard. Best includes 30-gauge / 28-mil premium. Swap up or down on any tier — the total adjusts.
Liner pattern
Pick the pattern that complements your yard. All five options ship at the same price.
Filter and pump.
The Better tier ships with a 21" filter and a 1.5 HP single-speed pump. Best upgrades the pump to a Hayward MaxFlo variable-speed unit (energy savings of $400+/year in season). You can swap either independently.

Chlorine or salt.
Honest take from a Vermont CPO: chlorine is the right call for a 24' above-ground pool here. Salt cells corrode aluminum components, cost more upfront, and the Vermont season is short enough that you don't recoup the salt premium. That said, if low-touch maintenance matters more than first-cost, salt is a real option.
What else?
None of these are required. Check what you want. The total updates as you go.
