"With the guidance of Z&Z we were able to totally update our pool, cool deck, and equipment. Ozzie and his team of professional installers worked hard to move the project along. Some spring showers caused delays but we were always kept informed. The work area was kept clean. The first order of business was to repair a leak at the skimmer. Once that was done, Z&Z prepped the pool for replacing the old waterline tile and replastering. We were provided with a number of plaster options and encouraged to consider add-ins that we didn't know existed. The results are amazing! The coping is gorgeous travertine that will be sealed with a gloss finish to show off its texture and colors. The cool deck was updated and a lingering problem from the original pool construction (the electrical line from the light was placed above the deck but once hidden by a diving board removed long ago) was addressed. We can't wait for swim season! Pricing was transparent and fair. We recommend Z&Z to anyone looking for a solid company that provides great service."

"The value of a contractor is not only judged by how well the finished product is when completed but also by how well the contractor manages any interim problems or concerns. Without going into detail, Bill and Ideal Pool Services responded to those interim problems with the absolute finest customer service I have experienced. The final product was on time, within quoted price and all with superb follow up by Bill."

"US Pools was great. Better design than anyone else, better pool equipment and better materials than the competition for the same price. The owner Colt was great to work with and walked us through the whole process. We interviewed a couple different companies. Colt took longer on the design process and initial bidding, but wow did he come in strong. Instead of pushing a cookie cutter design he listened to us and asked us a ton of questions. He truly educated on the process and helped understand why certain items we did not want to skimp on and others that could be skipped in order to stay on budget. His 30 years of pool building came through as well as his knowledge of the industry. His crews were great and very respectful of my home. Three months in and our backyard is a travertine oasis."

"Peter built my entire pool from the ground and it came out absolutely magnificent. He works his butt off and made the entire process very simple for me and my family and finished in an extremely timely manner as well. Will definitely refer him to my close friends and family."

"I just bought my first home which had a pool. Lucky me it came in a hideous tint of dark swamp green with a few frogs. I messaged a few pool companies and Jose with Lonestar pools was one of them. Majority of the companies advised me to drain my pool and the others told me it will take 2-3 weeks until its Crystal clear. Not to mention this would of costed $700-900 which is not including the water bill. Jose didn't go this route as he was extremely confident he can get my pool crystal blue and swimmable with a few short days. I obviously decided to go with him as he was very professional knowledgeable and confident in his services. I'm glad I went with Jose as he was good for his word and my pool was crystal blue in 5 days!! During those 5 days he showed up everyday to clean my filters and scrub my pool. Not to mention, 3 of the 5 days it was raining. Rain didn't stop Jose, he was outside changing my filters in the rain! Jose is a scientist when it comes to the pool chemistry. Any pool guy can drain water and pressure wash the pool but not all can figure out a pools chemistry and get it blue within a few short days. If you have a green/black pool? you need an expert and Jose is your guy! Also, Jose is very honest which is hard to find these days. When I bought my house I was told it needed resurfacing so I got 3 quotes which ranged between 5-10k. Jose does resurfacing as well and was happy to quote me too. BUT, he made it clear to me?. This is a cosmetic issue. If your eyes can handle the peeling which isn't bad then the resurfacing job can hold off for a bit. This was such a relief as I just bought 2 homes so money has been tight. Its nice to know the resurfacing can hold off until a later time. Most contractors wouldn't tell you this as they will lose the quick cash. I quickly hired him to do weekly cleanings on my pool. Jose is passionate about pools and it shows. He's a gem and I'm happy I found him. Hire him and you and your pool will forever be happy! Take my word!"

"Norris Pools has been maintaining our pool for approximately six months now and we couldn't be happier. Bryan is always on time and very knowledgeable about the chemistry and mechanics of pools and spas. I wanted a company that would look after my pool the way they would there own and I found that with Norris Pools. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone.

"My regular pool service company said I needed a new pump. Wanted a second opinion which was Blue. Water. Their technician correctly diagnosed the problem - saved me from needlessly replacing the pump.

"Excellent experience, this is second job they do for me. The first project was a pool with outdoor kitchen, wood burning pizza oven, travertine all over place, amazing job. The second project was tiling the master and replacement of the bathroom floors. The price is the price, he measures and tells you how much is going to cost, no at the end surprises. They go with you when you are purchasing the tile to advise you. It’s phenomenal service. I have a third project now, for the end of this year which is wood flooring the second floor and they are doing it."

FAQs for swimming pool in ground build or installation projects in Houston, TX

Installing a lap pool at home offers you the convenience of exercising whenever you like without needing to travel to a gym. It's a great way to stay fit while saving time and money. Plus, lap pools take up less space than traditional pools, use less water and energy, and typically cost less to install and maintain. It's an excellent investment if you value health and convenience.

To install a lap pool in your backyard, you'll need to consider the type of pool you want. For a traditional 40-by-8-foot lap pool, plan for at least 50-by-10 feet to allow room for decking. If you're considering an endless pool, you'll only need about 15-by-8 feet. Don't forget to account for other outdoor features you might have or want, like a swing set, shed, or garden. Planning your space carefully ensures you get the most enjoyment from your backyard.

A 40-foot lap pool is a great size for most homeowners. It provides enough length for a good workout while fitting comfortably in many backyards. Of course, the ideal size for your lap pool depends on your available space and budget. Consider talking with a professional pool builder to determine the best size and design for your needs.

Lap pools can be a worthwhile investment if you plan to use them regularly for exercise. If you enjoy swimming laps but prefer the convenience of staying at home, a lap pool might be perfect for you.

Keep in mind that lap pools are longer than average pools, typically around 40 feet, so you'll need adequate space in your backyard. While adding a lap pool can increase your home's value by about 7%, factors like the materials used and maintenance can affect the ROI. Also, potential buyers with young children or those wanting a traditional pool might not find a lap pool as appealing.

Fall is the best time to buy a lap pool. During this season, pool installation companies often offer special deals and savings to fill their schedules as business slows down. By purchasing your lap pool in the fall, you can take advantage of lower costs and ensure quality installation before the next swimming season.

To maintain your lap pool, regularly check the water level and add or drain water as needed. Test and balance the chemical levels to keep the water safe and clean. Inspect the tiles and surfaces for any damage, and promptly remove debris with a skimmer. Regularly vacuum the pool and clean the filter to ensure everything runs smoothly and your water stays crystal clear.
