Johnny D Pools
Pool builder in Odessa, Texas
Details confirmed
A step-by-step walkthrough of how a gunite pool gets built is a highlight of this Odessa builder's site, covering rebar, shooting the shell, plumbing, tile and coping done by hand by masons, and decking. The owner-operated company designs pools and spas, offers 3D renderings so clients can see features before construction, and helps with backyard planning including pergolas, fountains and landscaping. Customers mention pool resurfacing and heater installation, and financing is advertised. After a new pool is built, a service team visits weekly during the first 30 days to balance chemicals and brush the plaster.

Licensing and insurance
Licensing in Texas. Texas has no state license for swimming pool contractors, so there is no state register to check a pool builder against. What is licensed is the sub-work: pool plumbing and gas lines must be done by a plumber licensed by the
Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, and pool electrical by an electrician licensed through the
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio also require contractor registration with the city before permits are issued.
Johnny D Pools's website does not say whether the company is licensed or insured. Ask for the plumber's and electrician's license numbers and a certificate of insurance before signing.
