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. Kingwood Service Association deed restrictions include tree-preservation requirements for the "Livable Forest," which are reviewed before the pool footprint is finalized.

For Kingwood villages near the San Jacinto River, drainage and grading are evaluated during the site visit so the pool and yard direct water away from the home, which matters more here than in neighborhoods farther from the river.
