Frequently Asked Questions

We build custom gunite (concrete) pools and fiberglass pools, plus patio and outdoor-living renovations and repair/resurfacing work on existing pools. Gunite is fully custom-shaped and engineered for Texas clay soils; fiberglass installs faster with a lower-maintenance gel-coat finish.

A gunite pool typically runs several months from permitting through final plaster because it is built in sequential phases (excavation, steel, gunite, plumbing/electrical, decking, finish, start-up). A fiberglass pool is faster since the shell arrives pre-manufactured and is set in one piece, cutting weeks off the construction phase.

Yes. Permitting and, where applicable, HOA or architectural-review approval are handled as part of the design phase before construction starts, so the project is not held up mid-build waiting on paperwork.

Yes, through Foundation Finance and Lyon Financial, both of which offer financing built for pool and backyard construction. Financing terms are discussed during the design and planning step.

Gunite pools are fully custom: shape, depth, tanning ledges, raised spas, water features, and integration with decking or an outdoor kitchen are all designed around your lot. Fiberglass pools come in a set range of manufacturer shapes but still allow custom decking, lighting, and water-feature add-ons.

Start with a site consultation: a walk of the property to evaluate soil, drainage, and layout, followed by a design built around your home and budget. Use the contact form on this site to request one.

Size, depth, and shape are the starting point, but the bigger cost drivers are usually features (raised spa, water features, tanning ledges), the finish (plaster vs. pebble), decking material and square footage, and any outdoor-living work bundled in. Gunite generally costs more than fiberglass for a comparable size because of the custom, phased construction. An exact number requires a site evaluation, not a generic estimate.

Yes. Lakefront lots need the pool, slope, and any retaining structure graded to work together, which is planned during the site evaluation before a design is finalized.

Many properties outside Conroe city limits run on septic systems, and those are mapped during the site evaluation so excavation and equipment placement are routed around them.
