First, let me start this review by saying that if you're looking to build a pool and have never…read moredone this before you are in for a shocking experience. This will be a fun, exhausting, exciting, frustrating, angry and elation filled 5+ months ahead of you. Luckily, Cody Pools can help highlight the good and mitigate the bad. We moved to Dallas from NYC late last year and had ZERO experience with owning a pool. We interviewed 3 different pool builders locally and received bids that ranged wildly across the pricing spectrum. Cody's bid came in the middle and we felt it was very fair. I even price checked them with my friend who owns a pool building company in another state and he said he would charge me the same price for our design and he confirmed Cody Pools to be very reputable. The wife and I did get off to a rocky start with our designer but if you encounter the same issue, I certainly would not let that deter you from using Cody. Once the real work starts, it's only Project Managers and construction people you deal with. Our Project Manager was Shawn Barnacle and he was absolutely amazing. If he is on your project, you are lucky and I guarantee you will be pleased. He was always responsive and always on your side any time you had a question, concern, adjustment to be made, etc... We shared pots of coffee on many a morning as we discussed where we were in the process, what's left to complete and how much longer it will take. He's been in this business a looong time and seen it all. He is honest about every aspect of the project (even if you don't like what he tells you) and is absolute about you being happy with the finished product. Some things to be mindful of - Hidden costs: we ended up having to re-route electric wires and gas lines, both of which Cody does not perform and were additional expenses. This includes sprinkler system repair/re-routes after they complete the pool. Also, the yard gets COMPLETELY destroyed during this build process and needs to be re-sod/landscaped afterward which is another expense. Cody is happy to recommend contractors who can do all of this work and we found those recommendations to be solid. (Shawn will make sure no one takes advantage of you.) Timing: whatever time frame you have in mind, add another month....at least. This is a seriously invasive process and you should set your expectations accordingly before you even begin. From initial design to naked swimming, I would say it took 6 months. We did have sporadic weather delays contributing to this and under optimal circumstances, I believe they could start/finish the entire process within 4 months. Overall, we were very happy with Cody Pools and if you're crazy enough to chase that dream of swimming naked in your own backyard, I strongly recommend hiring Shawn, his beard, and Cody Pools to help make it come true.

Frustrating experience we've been dealing with all summer. Contacted for a DE filter replacement…read moreback in May 2025, and we knew what we wanted. Had trouble scheduling an installation date or getting calls back from the store - they finally came out and installed it, but it was not done correctly. The filter container was hanging off the concrete pad, they tried to feed DE through a skimmer with a sock on it, and the pvc piping wasn't done well. It took multiple calls to the owner and 2 additional visits for someone to come out and finally fix it. This was after they insisted they came to my house and "everything looked fine", but my Ring doorbell and gate confirmed they didn't come at all and must have gone to the wrong house. Immediately after the fix, the brand new filter started leaking from the seal joint, and no one will actually commit to coming out and looking at it again. I've been scheduled "on the board" for multiple service visits - but then they no call/no show and I have to follow-up again. I understand staffing is tough, but they've used the excuse of being "down" a pool tech all summer so that the owner is having to go out on calls himself. I also had a big issue with high copper in my water - it was filmy, blue/silver in the net, etc, and they said "they had never seen anything like this" and didn't know what to do. They didn't test the water or seem to have any ideas or solutions - I figured it out myself with a test. The price on the filter was ok and I was trying to find a more locally owned alternative to Leslie Pool. However, it's been such a hassle dealing with unnecessary issues from the installation that I would not recommend purchasing equipment from them.
