Finally have kids swimming well enough to put in a pool.

Anyone you would recommend?
Anyone you would stay away from?

TIA

I build pools in Fort Worth and would be happy to give you a quote if you'd like.

Do you build in Azle? If so, what is the name of your company? We are looking to have a pool built.

R&S Pools

Northwest Swimming Pools

Posted in Home Improvement but I'll share here.

Stay away from Pulliam. We had absolutely no oversight from the construction manager and he missed, then failed to remedy, many things. Much of that stuff has to get fixed asap because when the sub leaves it takes forever to get them back. Pulliam mismeasured my pool length before digging and I had to correct them. They didn't build a wall properly and it cracked. Their sub didn't clean the grout off the water line tile and we spent a year getting them back out to clean it up. They used lueders (or whatever the decking is right at the edge of the pool) that was cracked and broken. When I complained they argued that we should have told them earlier. I had told the construction manager and he just never fixed it. It was like that at every step. Instead of trying to build a nice looking pool they were trying to juggle their subs without spending extra money.

Every time they came out after the pool was finished they messed something up and never fixed. They cut a buried electrical line that was marked and I warned them about. Then they argued about their liability. They broke my gate, same thing.

Their reputation was built on the integrity of their prior owners, not the current owners.

Using Pinnacle right now and been happy. Talked with Emerald but they were crazy expensive.

I've heard horror and wonderful stories about the same companies. A lot depends on who your project manager is and the subs they hire.

Best friend just had a pool built in Southlake and it's already cracking/leaking. This was a very well recommended company too.

Good luck!

Regardless of who you build with, have Blue Water do a design for you. I think they charge $100 and you're free to take it to any builder. We loved their design and wound up using 90% of it in our final build. They will give you a video - it was the single best thing to help us conceptualize what we wanted.

Their build prices were high but I'm guessing it's because they do good work. We went with another builder that's now out of business, so I can't say that I recommend them.

Having one built right now with blue fire pools. They have been great so far. Finished stone work yesterday.

I'll say this. Prices are ungodly. I built a fairly standard pool with paved area and screened lanai in Florida about 2010. $35k. Just got a bid for essentially the same pool (Arlington) with no lanai obviously. $102k. Wow.

For those of you who recommended Blue Fire, do you mind sharing your experience with them? Thanks.

I have heard a lot of good things about R&S pools, but have not used them personally. Still, might be worth reaching out.

Used R&S in 2021 and was happy with them.
