Frequently Asked Questions About Building a Pool in Houston

Book A Design Consultation

How much does a custom pool cost in Houston?

Budgets vary based on size, soil conditions, features (spa, ledges, water features), and decking. Most Houston-area custom builds start in the tens of thousands and scale up with materials and complexity. We’ll tailor a design and detailed estimate after a short site visit.

How long does pool construction take?

Typical timelines run 4 to 6 weeks from dig to swim, depending on design complexity, inspections, and weather. We’ll share a milestone schedule before construction begins.

Do I need permits or HOA approval?

Yes—most Houston-area projects require city permits and HOA review. We handle the permitting and help with HOA packages, so the process stays smooth.

Can you build a pool in a small backyard?

Absolutely. Creative shapes, retaining solutions, and space-saving features (like a plunging spa, integrated seating, or a cocktail pool) can transform compact lots.

Saltwater vs. chlorine—what’s better in Houston?

Both are safe and effective. Salt systems generate chlorine from salt, offering a softer feel and less manual dosing. Traditional chlorine can be equally low-maintenance with modern automation. We’ll recommend what fits your usage and maintenance preferences.

What maintenance should I expect?

Plan for weekly skimming, brushing, chemistry checks, and seasonal equipment reviews. We’ll provide a startup guide and recommended maintenance schedule at handoff.

Do you also build patios and outdoor kitchens?

Yes—patios, decks, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens are a core part of our design-build services, so your pool and outdoor living area work together beautifully.
