 Custom Pool Builder FAQs

  • Popular pool designs in DFW include freeform, geometric, infinity, lap or smaller plunge-style pools. Features like spas, waterfalls, tanning ledges, water features, and fire elements are also common. You can also add a patio extension, custom grill cabinets, or a pergola to complete the whole "backyard oasis" experience!

  • Choose a pool builder with a knowledgeable consultant, a strong reputation, verified client reviews (like the Better Business Bureau), experience in the area, and competitive (not the cheapest) pricing. Verify insurance and references.

  • Permits and approvals vary by city, county and neighborhood. Generally, you'll need a building permit, electrical permit, and likely HOA approval.

  • Typical pool construction timelines range from 8-12 weeks once construction begins, depending on design complexity and weather conditions. Allow time on the front end for design, engineering and permitting as well.

  • Pool construction costs in DFW depend on accessibility, elevation, pool size/depth, materials, decking and features. Expect to spend $80,000-$90,000 for a fairly basic inground pool, with more features and elaborate designs increasing the cost.

  • Ensure energy efficiency with energy-efficient pumps, LED lighting, and pool covers to minimize heat loss and evaporation. One of the most important factors is using a variable speed pump AND the understanding of how to plumb and equip a pool in an optimal, efficient manner.

  • Given DFW's expansive clay soils, concrete (gunite) pools are usually the best choice due to their durability and resilience to soil movement.

  • Pools can increase property value, but the impact varies by neighborhood and buyer preferences. Homeowners' insurance premiums may increase slightly due to liability concerns.

  • Regular pool maintenance includes cleaning, chemical balancing, and equipment upkeep. Long term, you can either hire a weekly pool service company or simply perform regular maintenance yourself.

  • Local regulations may govern pool setbacks, fencing requirements, and safety features. Check with your city and HOA for specific rules.

  • DFW's hot climate requires materials and equipment that can withstand high and subfreezing temperatures as well as high UV exposure. Consider durable finishes and efficient cooling/heating systems.
