Perimeter readings per linear foot, priced apart by frame
| Perimeter band row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Small perimeter row, under 70 linear feet | $30-$50 per linear foot | $40-$80 per linear foot |
| Typical perimeter row, 70 to 110 linear feet | $30-$50 per linear foot | $40-$80 per linear foot |
| Large-and-diving row, over 110 linear feet | $30-$50 per linear foot | $40-$80 per linear foot |
Each perimeter row prices the same per-foot job at a longer or shorter run of coping. The band changes how much coping the job carries, and that is a totals question, printed apart below.
Whole-job totals behind the perimeter rows, kept apart
| Whole-job line, as reported | 2026 reading |
|---|---|
| Frame A project add row, typical perimeter | $1,800-$6,000 |
| Frame A project add row, small perimeter | inside the $1,800-$6,000 project add band |
| Frame A project add row, large-and-diving | inside the $1,800-$6,000 project add band |
| Resurfacing add-on row, resurfacing frame | $3,000-$8,000 inside a resurfacing project |
The totals stand in their own table, never added into a per-foot line. Frame B prints no whole-job total by band name.
Material lines behind the perimeter rows, printed once
| Material line, as printed | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Precast concrete row | inside the $30-$50 band | $40-$55 |
| Brick row | inside the $30-$50 band | $45-$65 |
| Natural stone row | inside the $30-$50 band | $60-$80 |
The material lines stand once here so the perimeter rows can be read against them -- a material row is never added into a perimeter row. The frames count the same job on different bases -- a per-foot band with a project-total read in Frame A (coping at $30-$50 per linear foot, adding $1,800-$6,000 to a pool project) against a wider per-foot average with a material table in Frame B (coping at $40-$80 per linear foot on average, natural stone at the top and concrete at the bottom of the band). The per-foot coping job is counted two ways across them -- named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Form readings price apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the pool resurfacing cluster (a finish job whose coping line stands as an add-on inside a resurfacing project at $3,000-$8,000, named as the resurfacing frame it is -- this cluster carries no resurfacing guide of its own), the pool tile cleaning cluster (a cleaning job), waterline tile work (the band below the coping, a separate line item), pool deck work (the surface behind the coping), and new-pool construction coping (an install on a new build). Each stands named apart on every page.

Frequently asked questions
What does pool coping replacement cost by pool size, as reported?
Per linear foot, Frame A prints $30 to $50 and Frame B prints $40 to $80 on average. As a whole-job total, Frame A prints a project add of $1,800 to $6,000, kept apart.
What does the small perimeter row print at, as reported?
The small perimeter row stands at $30 to $50 per linear foot in Frame A and $40 to $80 in Frame B, with its whole-job read inside the $1,800 to $6,000 project add band in Frame A.
What does the large-and-diving row print at, as reported?
The large-and-diving row carries the same per-foot readings over a longer run of coping. Its total stands inside the Frame A project add band.
Why are per-foot lines and whole-job totals printed in apart tables?
The two readings answer apart questions: a per-foot line prices the run, and a whole-job total prices the project. Frame A prints both, and this guide keeps them apart.
Is a perimeter row the same purchase as waterline tile work or a cleaning job?
No. Waterline tile work prices the band below the coping, and the pool tile cleaning cluster prices a cleaning job. Each stands in its own lane.
