There are several points to consider when planning your pool build.
Once you build a pool, regular care and maintenance are required to protect and enjoy your investment for many years. We offer top-tier products and services to make pool ownership affordable. This includes:
The size of your pool is primarily a personal choice and often dictated by the size of your yard. Our expert team of designers and in-house construction planners will review your property survey to determine how much room you have for a custom pool, patio, outdoor kitchen, hot tub, and any other features you envision for your outdoor living space, all while meeting municipality requirements.
This is one of the largest variables in the entire process of building your custom pool. Depending on the size, design, and options you choose, your custom pool can take anywhere from six to eight weeks (larger scale projects like a “Total Backyard Solution” can take twelve weeks or more!) to build.
Choosing the right pool builder is very important. Its not just about which builder can construct your pool today, but which builder will be there for you tomorrow. Since 1987, we have been the preferred pool builder in the greater Houston area and ranked the Top 50 Builder & Service company year after year. The choice is clear, Richard’s is THE builder for you. We’re local, we’re honest and we’re always here for you. Contact us today to discuss your dream project. Call us at 713-777-7665 (POOL) to schedule an appointment.
It is recommended you speak to your home insurance company when planning to add a pool to your home. It is also worth noting that our construction crews are fully insured which is a very important factor when choosing the right pool builder for your project.
