Good questions.
A better starting point.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our published service offering includes resurfacing, tile replacement, deck upgrades, and pool renovations. Existing conditions need to be evaluated before confirming the scope.

Your project location, main priorities, rough timing, and any inspiration images are a helpful start. Bring a survey or existing pool information if you have it.

Every project includes a one-year workmanship warranty that begins on the date of substantial completion. It covers installation-related issues resulting from workmanship or material defects. Equipment, finishes and specialty products are also backed by their manufacturers' warranties, and coverage periods vary by manufacturer and product. Our team stays available after completion to answer questions and help with warranty concerns.

Our standard payment schedule divides the contract amount into four equal payments tied to construction milestones: 25% when excavation is complete, 25% when the gunite shell is complete, 25% when the hardscape (decking, coping and other contracted exterior finishes) is complete, and the final 25% at project completion. Each payment is due before work moves to the next phase. Your proposal confirms the schedule for your project. Financing through Lyon Financial is also available.

Any addition or change requested after construction begins is handled through a written change order. Approved change orders may affect the project schedule and total investment, so everything is agreed in writing before the work changes.

Along with custom pools and spas, we build outdoor kitchens, pool decking, landscaping, putting greens, fire features and complete backyard transformations. Many homeowners plan the whole backyard together so every element works as one space.
