Reached out to Charlie about our pool not being cleaned thoroughly and not vacuumed as we have…read morewatched tech on camera. 2 weeks in a row this occurred so I called and told Charlie we would like a different tech and he said either he would change the tech or come himself. The following week rolled around and same tech came. I messaged Charlie and got no response. Every time they come to clean we have to put our cleaner in the pool. We requested to cancel and are now told we have a 1 year contract and have to pay 35.00 a month for the remaining months. So basically with this company if they don't do a good job and you are unhappy your screwed. Don't sign a contract with these people or you will be frustrated and stuck. We have been told either keep the contract or pay the 35.00 as the customer service is horrible and they don't care about the customer.

I will never see the name Texas Native Aquatics and not relive the trauma they have caused. Let me…read moretell you about it. The previous owners of our home did not care for the pool, so after many years of trying to find the right person for the job, we thought Ryan would be our savior; boy, were we wrong. Things started off great! My husband found him on YELP with a high 4-star rating back in December 2024. Ryan was eager and appeared excited to bring our pool back to life. Ryan and Team started working on our pool February 2025. I mean, this guy is over communicating at this point. Keeping us updated on when they were coming out to the house and what materials were being purchased & so forth. We were indeed pleased. Our first biggest mistake, we paid him in full in April 2025. Ryan immediately stopped accepting our calls and stopped replying to text messages. We were out of $12,000! Thank the Lord we paid with a CC, so we took it up with our bank, but it wasn't easy. In June 2025, we were told by our bank that Ryan submitted pictures of a completed pool---claiming it was OUR pool. As a result, the ruling was ruled in Ryan's favor, not ours. We were in complete shock; utter devastation. FULL TRANSPARANCY POST NEXT: The stress was unimaginable. I stopped eating, my hair began to fall out, and I was so filled with anxiety, I could barely work. Texas Native Aquatics put such a severe strain on our lives, but my hurt turned into anger, AND WE FOUGHT BACK. We were not going to accept this! We took even more photos and gathered even more text messages to prove our case. It took hours upon hours to put the evidence together, but the hard work paid off. The claim was reopened and TODAY, the bank ruled in our favor. Today is September 16, 2025, and our pool is still unusable. It's been drained for 7 months---which can lead to more serious issues. We've declined hosting family events, friend get-togethers and birthday parties for our nephews all due to our pool condition and the pain/suffering Ryan Williams has caused. Feel free to visit his google and yelp page---as you can see, we are not the first to write about being taken advantage of. And as of recently, his ratings have declined. I am truly fearful for this guy because if he continues this type of practice, then he might end up working for the wrong client and he will be out a lot more than he is now. Lucky for him, he got a nice couple I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND RYAN WILLIAMS AND TEXAS NATIVE ACQUATICS.

This is my saga in dealing with the most impossible contractor I've ever worked with…read more This started around 7/17-18/2025. It all started well. Ryan came by to give me an estimate on a pool demolition. (He refused to address fixing the pool). He made me a great deal, and offered me a discount on some of the new equipment that the pool never got installed (about 20% of retail, better than nothing). He also told me he'd get it done in a week, if he could start right away, and I'd need to pay him half now to start. I should have heeded the bad reviews here. They are spot on. He showed up the next day and the day after that. and then didn't hear back until sometime on the following Sunday. I text him about the haphazard schedule and this was supposed to take a week what is going on? I'll be there later. He shows up with his wife and kid and they do some puttering around the yard, some work is done. The asks were spread out over the weeks but between week 2 and 5 these were some of the excuses. He needs more money. Another $1000 to order dirt. His dirt guy "let him down". We were out there, ha you didn't even know we were there (paraphrasing). We can tell nothing has changed except once when someone came by to take some equipment. I was never notified when they were going to be on site. Dirt finally shows up. They dump it in the middle of my driveway blocking everything (I have a 2x3 car driveway, there was room). It should have been put in a container as now our front lawn is covered in bits concrete that are in the dirt. We told them to move it as it is blocking my car. I had to shovel it out of the way myself so I could get to a doctor's appt a few days later. When the rest of the dirt was delivered as he called me to tell me it was coming today. (called me for the first time to inform me of something). When I came back, they had take the fence and gate off the front of my house. My wife explicitly told him that the gate must be closed when they leave everyday. He told her he had a skidsteer that can fit (It's a pretty big gate. Then he took it down anyway. It is still not back up. August 7th: They fill in the hole finally. It looks too high, I take a picture and send it to him. He replies "I'm coming by" He's told by my wife that there can't be a step here. We ask repeatedly that it seems too high, we don't want anything higher than this slab that they didn't demolish. Please bring it down, there can't be a step, my dog had back surgery in January and he can't go up and down steps. It is non-negotiable. I even recall telling him no steps or nothing more than the current drop from the house to the existing patio deck. It should also be graded. Instead, they drilled into the house to make it flush with the house. We told him several times Today August 23: He warns me for the first time in a while that concrete will be there. And they were and on time. They started to fill the form, and I noticed the went right to the top of the form where we told them we did NOT want to, creating about an 8inch step to the slab they did not demolish. I text him, "it's too high" there can't be a step. I told him to come and fix it after they just poured it. Eventually he gets here and he's already lying about what my wife told him versus what I told him. Then he accused me and my wife of not being together (don't know why that was top of mind for him). He then calls me at some point, I was away from my phone. He accused me of ignoring his communications in the voicemail. I was confused, I thought he was here. Nope, he left. Then he texted me this crazy plan to try to fix it that just didn't fix it (We'll bring that other pad up the 8inches and then use dirt to fill in the gaps...) and that he had already left instead of talking to me about it directly. He was trying to sell me on regrading my whole backyard on regrade and level. He hasn't even finished the first job competently or on-time. I've told him to tear it out. It is what I would have told him to his face if he didn't run. He said, you have to wait for it to cure. Which is hogwash, he was trying to convince me that "I'll learn to like it". Let the guys finish. All the while they're outside dying and pebbling this concrete. I had to go out there and tell them to stop and get it out. They didn't, they just hung around and it was the first time they heard that I didn't want this. Good thing my Spanish is sufficient. I'm going to give him until Monday to tear it all out and repair the damage he did to my home. Also refund me the cost of the concrete he didn't end up using. TL:DR: Do not hire this company. Do not hire Ryan Williams. You're better off doing it yourself than paying this guy to not do it. 1 week time estimate turned into 6 weeks of it not being finished and done to his own standards. He made changes, I would complain he'd blame my wife. No thank you.

All I want to say is if you are using a Home Warranty Co and they send out Cowntown Pools, tell…read morethem you want another pool company to come out. First off they are a very unprofessional company. I had an appointment for between 10 and 12 noon. This guy shows up at 9am in a white t-shirt with no logo or anything and a plain white van. I was reluctant to open my door because I didin't know who he was. He stated he was from Cowtown pool and I said you are 1 hour early, unannounced and you don't have any kind of identification showing who you are. After going back and forth I told him to go in the back yard and I would call my husband who is working at the Police Department and he would come home. My husband talked to the owner who came out and all he told my husband was that we needed a new manifold back up valve to fix it. When I talked to American Home Shield, he told them my pool equipment was beyond repair, just like he has stated in the other reviews that you see here on Yelp. My heater turns on and off and runs. I have the pictures of what my pool equipment heater really looks like and it's nothing like the pictures this guy took and sent into AHS. After reading the other reviews on Yelp, Cowtown has done the same exact thing to other homeowners. They are told the same exact thing and after what Cowtown files with AHS the homeowner is denied coverage. That shows a pattern if you look at all of the reviews on this site. Isn't this a bit supspicious that Cowtown Pools always writes a bad review for Home Warrenty companies so the only option a homeowner has is to pay full price to fix their pool equipment with Cowtown?. I have the Platinum Plan with AHS and they are either to fix or buy me a whole new system if it can't be repaired. Because of what these people wrote they claimed I was at fault even though the pool equipment was over 15 years old and has been out in the Texas heat and elements for 15 years. Isn't this normal wear and tear? Not in the eyes of Cowtown Pools. Do yourself a favor. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. READ THE FOLLOWING REVIEWS AND WHAT COWTOWN POOLS DOES WHEN THEY WORK WITH A HOME WARRANTY COMPANY? I want to know why Cowtown Pools couldn't tell my husband exactly what he stated to AHS? He had one story for my husband and another for the home warranty company. I guess if you can't get your stories straight and it's difficult to lie straight in the face to a person this is what you do. I'm going to file a report about Cowtown to Ken Paxton the Attorney General of Texas. They can read all of these same comments on Yelp what Cowntown is doing to customers who have Home Warrenty Companies. I'm attaching photos below to show what the inside of my heater looks like. Everthing is in order, wires are all attached, but the inside is a little rusty. But this is to be expected on something that has been outside for 15 years in the Texas heat and rain. The heater turns on t oo but it doesn't stay on, so Cowtown is lying when they say nothing works. Madeline states my husband cleaned out rodent mess which is an outright lie! All we did was blow out the leaves. My husband looked inside and there were NO RODENT dropings. Besides that why does your company always come up with the same story for every customer who has a Home Warrenty? They need a valve to fix it and you have to do it. Read all of the other Yelp reviews and they all say the same thing. You tell the home warranty companies the same excuse not to pay for the warranty. So you are going to be reported to The Attoryney General of TEXAS along with the attached reviews from all of the customers who have stated the same thing about your company. Worst company ever. You can't be trusted. One last thing. If I had pest damage why could you turn my heater on and off and it ran. If a pest had damaged the system nothing would work, yet you failed to note that in your remarks that the system works. You only state the same thing as you always tell others. You need a valve. Get your story straight. In Madeline's response to me she said there were feces inside the pool equipment. If that was the case the pictures they sent me didn't show ANY FECES ONLY LEAVES! Now because I'm going to report Cowtown Pools to the Attorney General's office she told AHS that I am theartening her. LOL. I have a right as a customer to report businesses to the Attorney General Office if I want to. That isn't a threat that is a right by any customer. You showed NO feces in any pictures, you give the same pat answer as seen in all of these Yelp reviews so that shows something fishy is going on between you and these Warranty Companies. So my Dear, why is your story always the same??? As I stated don't use this company if you are dealing with a Warrenty company. BTW looking on the Hayward website I can get a manifold bypass vavle kit for $79.06. This company was going to charge $4190. Incredible.
