Finding Good Texas Pool Builders

By Ina Hunt


The state of Texas is well known for its extremely hot summers. Temperatures can reach well over a hundred degrees and this will often last for days on end. Finding ways to stay cool, especially for those with young children, can be a challenge. With this in mind an increasing number of people are opting to have their own back yard swimming pools installed, so they can enjoy a refreshing swim whenever they like.

Although many districts have municipal pools there is nothing to beat having your very own back yard swimming oasis. The kids can invite their friends over and spend hours swimming and socializing. The parents can sit back and relax knowing that everyone is happy. But before this dream can become a reality it is vital to work with the best Texas pool builders.

There are many things to consider before the home owner makes their final decision. One of the first considerations is weather to choose an in ground or above ground pool. Budget is of course a big factor, but also how long the person plans to stay in their current home. Anyone who might be moving in the next few years should really consider an above ground model that can be dismantled and taken to their next home.

The contractor should make an initial site visit to discuss the exact needs of the client. This gives them the opportunity to look at the proposed area for the pool and decide if it going to work. Often an experienced installer will stop a potential problem right away, such as the slope of the land or the close proximity of large trees. Both of these factors can be a huge problem and need to be dealt with before construction can start.

The traditional in the ground pools are still very popular. One of the best ways to find a good installer is to talk with friends, family or co workers who have recently had pools installed. This is the fastest way to put together a short list of possible companies.

Plaster pools are at the top of the range and do need a very specialized installer to deal with them. The plaster must be applied quickly, using a large crew. Once it is finished the water needs to start running right away. This is to prevent the plaster from cracking or discoloring. The builder will know that the pool needs to be filled slowly and carefully with clean non chlorinated water.

One of the best things about plaster pools is that they can be customized to meet any need. Many people like to add some extra features such as steps. Steps make it easy for everyone, young or old, to get in and out of the water. Additional features such as diving boards, slides and rocks can also be added for extra fun and visual interest.

Fiberglass pools are also available in many different shapes, sizes and depths. They can also be custom made to fit into a small or odd shaped space. Slides and water features can also be added. Most installation companies will oversee the entire process from beginning to end. The happy family will be staying cool in their own backyard swimming oasis within a matter of days.
