Does this cost sound correct?

11 years ago

Long story short, we chose concrete pavers for a new pool install and last minute the inventory levels were wrong and we would have to wait 4+ weeks to get them. We decided to upgrade to travertine to not have a delay. Just found out today that they are using regular 6x12 pavers for our coping. I wasn't told this, just assumed we would be getting basic rounded edge coping. (Live in the Tampa Bay area and bought from Stone-Mart) Anyway, is this your typical cost for silver 6x12 tumbled travertine materials/labor?

Coping 96' $2500 (this was originally for concrete)

Footers $1800

Pavers for 614sf. $6715

Coping costs go to over $25 per sq ft.

I was told that the pavers cost is $3.60 psf.

Total not counting footers $9215 for 614 sf and 96'coping.

Thank you,

Is that upgrade cost or total cost?

Don't know about coping cost as that has been included in the base pool bids I have been receiving. But all the builders have been quoting $15 per sq ft installed for travertine deck. So your price seems in line with what I am seeing.

Total cost for travertine labor and install is $9215 to include cost of footers it would then be $11,015. They separated out cost for footers and I wasn't sure if that should be included in overall cost to install travertine pavers. Not to mention that coping was never used. They used the 6x12 pavers instead of coping, they told me coping just means how it is installed (mortared in). If I wanted travertine coping, that would cost more. The reason the breakdown has coping listed is because originally we were getting concrete pavers.
