Before we get started

A few good questions.

All questions
What does a custom pool cost?

Pool size, layout, features, finishes, access, and site conditions all affect the estimate. Share your project details so the team can discuss a scope specific to your backyard. Tell us your project location and priorities to start the conversation.

Where do you build?

We are based in Livingston and serve surrounding East Texas communities within approximately two hours. Tell us the project location to confirm coverage and the next step.

How long will construction take?

Every project follows the same seven phases: initial consultation, design and proposal, permits and planning, site preparation and excavation, structural construction, finishing details, and final inspection and startup. Your proposal includes an estimated start and completion date for your specific project. Weather, permits, inspections, material availability and site conditions can all affect the schedule.

Can I plan a spa or water feature?

Yes. Features such as a raised spa, rock waterfall, lighting, or integrated seating can be discussed during custom design. Our project galleries show separate completed examples.
