Pool builder in The Woodlands, Texas
Details confirmed
Pools by Design lays out its build as a step-by-step process, from steel inspection and shotcrete through decking, plumbing and start-up. The family-owned company has operated for roughly 25 years and serves Houston, The Woodlands and Spring. It builds formal Roman-style and free-form custom pools, along with custom heated spas, waterfalls, fountains, fireplaces and barbecue areas, and it can help with outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Decks can be acrylic, natural concrete, aggregate, pavers or stone. Several pool lending options, both secured and unsecured, are offered. After start-up the team gives oral and written operating instructions, and it recommends outside providers for ongoing maintenance rather than doing it itself. Free consultations are available.
