I vetted a total of 9 pool companies for my pool resurface/ deck overlay remodel and Bula Pools quickly and clear rose to the top. Caleb now only comes out to discuss the project in person, he educated me on how things are done correctly, common short cuts to avoid, and the nuances of the actual process. He proposal was very competitively priced to my current pool maintenance guy with many of the other competing bids coming in 30-40% more. I fell in love with a particular blue glass waterline tile and Caleb drove to three different tile stores with me to find something similar together. He was very responsive throughout the process and everyone on his crew was respectful, professional and competent. I am now swirching my monthly maintenance company over to Bula Pools and look forward to working with him for all my pool needs.

My pool seemed to be losing a good amount of water and I woke up to find it had dropped 3/4"…read moreovernight and the pump starting to lose prime and suck air. We were about to be out of town for the 4th so I needed someone out that day. I reached out to Evolution and after a little back and forth they were able to fit me in that same day at a reduced (50%) of their typical emergency call fee Dakota arrived when he said he would, performed a pressure and a dye test and located leaks at the juncture between the pool body and the face of both skimmer boxes Dakota executed the needed repairs and the problem was solved. Once again he gave me a 50% discount on the repairs to "win my business" Dakota and his assistant went about their business in a very efficient and professional manner. I was impressed by his willingness to work in bad weather (it poured rain at my house that day) and by his willingness to go the extra mile to earn my future business. I cannot recommend Dakota and Evolution strongly enough. if you have structural pool issues of any sort, call Dakota first. You won't be disappointed and you can thank me later for the recommendation

I'm retired. I enjoy doing repairs myself so, I investigated my pool leak myself. I dug a hole…read moreabout 18" deep where the water was seeping up and discovered I was "over my head" - metaphorically. My son had someone replace a pump for him, so when I told my son about my pool problems, his answer was simple: "Call Dakota. He knows his stuff." I called. Dakota returns my call the same day, quoted me the price for the inspection, the estimated price for the fix, and scheduled an inspection. Doug texted me 30 minutes before he arrived and arrived on time. I showed him the beautiful hole full of water from the leak and PVC pipes. I expected it was a pool leak because it was near one of the pool inlet jets. Doug suspected it to be somewhere in the spa which was next to my hole because of suspicious dampness where it should not have been damp. By using a hypodermic needle with colored dye, and a diver's mask, he put his head underwater and did a few squirts of dye near the suspected leak area to see the dye get sucked into a crack. So, he quickly and accurately found the leak. Once the water leaked into the stone overflow from the spa, it took a circuitous route to find and fill my hole. After a phone call to Dakota, he returned with a most reasonable price to fix the problem. I agreed at once and the work began. He drained the spa, cut out the old grout, mixed up underwater cement, patched the cut-out section, cleaned up the mess from the cut-out, re-filled the spa, and verified the leak was fixed. I paid him and he left me with my 18" hole and a warranty for the work done. But that's not the best part. The best part was the waiting around. While we waited around for the draining and re-filling of the SPA, I kept asking questions: What's the best robotic sweeper? How should I fix the grout cracks in the topstones around the pool? How about the retaining wall in back that shows cracks? What do you think of my suction pool sweep? We also talked about life and raising our children. Doug taught me things and verified some of the things I already know. He had good techniques for doing his work. It was like a personalized technical school, psychology session, and comedy show all rolled into one. (Doug has a good sense of humor.) Evolution Leak Detection does quality work, at reasonable prices with the integrity of men who will take that extra 30 minutes that determines the difference between a good job and a great job. That's a rare work ethic that is refreshing to know is still alive and well.

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.

I must say, I've had a number of pool companies either maintaining or updating my pool, and I have…read morenot been satisfied with any of them. But.. that has changed. Windy River Pools is a new company owned by the Kessler's, a married couple. Robert Kessler owned Pacific Builders Group- a Landscaping & Pool - Design/Build Out company in California for 28 years. He takes that knowledge and his General Contractor license in pool building, renovation and maintaining to Texas! Windy River Pools offers a holistic approach in pool maintenance! When I set up an account with them, Robert trouble-shooted my poorly working Polaris, tuned-up my pool equipment, evaluated the pool water chemistry and vacuumed, removed plaster stains and brushed down my pool! Their monthly maintenance fee is $150 a month! * Instead of bringing my Polaris into Leslies Pool Retail 4 times a year, Robert found it was more to do with the pressure in the pool and corrected the issue. * I was so unhappy with my original pool remodeler that had re-surfaced my pool. I now have a 3rd rebar patch that is eating thru, since the re-plaster! It looks like a pool fire! I had started to interview more remodelers to correct the issue at a big price point. No need. Robert took care of the issue on his first visit. * My main concern was coming home and seeing white powder at the bottom of the pool. I thought the filter was spitting out DE. It was from the weekly chemical service I was using for the pool. They would leave clumps of Shock at the bottom of the pool producing excessive chlorine in the pool. This leads to the plaster eroding. * Windy River Pools have now converted my pool to a mineral pool (a little over $300). The pool uses very few chemicals, I did not need any additional equipment and you should see how clear the water is! Plus it is much more healthy to swim in. What an amazing change! * I always know when they have serviced my pool and what had been done to it with the following report below. Windy River Pool Company is in a class all to its own - like no other! And it is so much easier on the pool owner to have one contact to address all concerns.. at such a reasonable cost. To know my pool is consistently being cared for and any issues, like rebar coming thru, is addressed immediately is such a relief! A few years after I moved here from California, I ended up selling my first home because I was yearning the Pacific Ocean. So I had to buy a home with a pool to look out at. Now look at it! Just need to put in a wave machine! Your Pool Is Now Sparkling Clean! Hi Terri, Thanks for choosing us to keep your pool looking great! Continue to work on stains , everything is looking good and running great!! Back wash pin is bent allowing a little DE back into pool, did not have one on truck , but, will install one.
