A Pool Experience That Stands the Test of Time…read more Selecting a pool company can be daunting, but choosing Pulliam Pools Houston was one of the best decisions we've made. Their long-standing history--founded in 1918--and their friendly, knowledgeable staff gave us the confidence we needed. Construction on our pool began on July 30, 2019, and just 30 days later, it was fully completed, including the deck. We've been enjoying it ever since! The quality and craftsmanship were outstanding from day one. Even more impressive is their ongoing support. Over the past six years, Pulliam has consistently provided excellent service, whether for rare warranty issues or minor post-warranty repairs. They've always responded quickly and professionally. Everyone we've worked with has been wonderful, but we'd like to give a special shoutout to Robert and Sean--thank you for making the experience smooth and enjoyable. We are so glad we chose Pulliam Pools! The Smith's, Richmond, TX

I am writing this review two years after our pool was installed. Waterside Poolscapes installed our…read moreinground pool and hot tub. Getting a pool was a huge decision for us. We got several quotes and visited with multiple vendors. After much consideration, we decided to go with Waterside. Communication is extremely important to us - and we wanted to be a part of each step. Jackson kept us in the loop as the process progressed. The service that we received was excellent and timely. The project was completed in the amount of time they stated that it would be. To attest to the integrity of Waterside, during the process, our neighbor sustained a minor sprinkler damage and Waterside fixed the damage quickly without any issues. When we ran into an issue with the hot tub, a year after being installed, I contacted Jackson and he personally came out to check on it, found the problem, and fixed it - again with no issues or having to go back and forth about whose fault it was. Our backyard is now a beautiful oasis. The pool and hot tub have been a blessing to us - it has provided a place for my family to relax and spend time together. We highly recommend that if you are considering putting in a pool you use Waterside Poolscapes! Thanks again to Mike and Jackson for making our dream pool come to life!

I hadn't even…read morehit up Waterside on the issue with the landscape irrigation system damage mentioned below, but they hit me up to ask and are compensating for the loss (voluntary, i didn't even ask!). As I'd said below, even with the 1 relatively speaking minor issue, I was still going back to them for any future work. As I said below: I can't even imagine contacting anyone else for my pool system/pool needs. Really exceptional company here. Update: Unfortunately, I do need to knock a couple of stars off. The installation, and equipment used is still WONDERFUL, and done very well, however I have found out that in 3 different places the work they did damaged my installed lawn sprinkler system piping. Worse, this wasn't something they could possibly have not known about as the water supply isolation valve was closed. I've now had to pay for a 2nd job (with someone else) to do all the repairs, and will have to pay for sections of my sodding that have died out as a result of not getting water during this recent dry period (is how i found out there was a problem with the sprinkler system.) I still will use Waterside in the future as their work on the system they were contracted for was still great, but In the future I will follow up and check out other home systems that are anywhere near the location they work in. After this experience, I can't even imagine considering another contractor. My entire pool control system burnt up in a fire. Everything needing replacing, the pipework, valves, pumps, control system, filter, heater.. everything. They scheduled fast (next day). Jeff showed up, did a great assessment, discussed options, and totally worked with my budget. David and his plumber crew, electrician crew, and fence repair crew.. Fast scheduling, kept to schedules, and the work is so professionally done (much more so than the original installers). their selection of equipment was great (went Pentair instead of my previous Hayward system, and I never want to go Hayward again either now). The electrical crew is really where they shined. Very professional cable conduit/cable runs, J-box installation, and cable routing. The concrete pad they poured for the pumps and filter, and 2nd pad for the heater was likewise done fast, and professionally, and just how I'd asked. Will be a return customer for any contractor needs that they cover.

I would not recommend this company to anybody. We had a saltwater pebble tech pool which we had…read moreconverted to an Ozone & UV filter, and we asked them to have the boulders repainted and sealed, and the pebble tech power washed. They are just contractors so they hired other companies to come out here and take care of each of those components. they were too remove the current calcium line first from the rock outline (from my understanding that can bead blasted or another assortment of ways) and then re-stain and seal. But they did not do that they just re-stained it so where the calcium line was before the paint is not sticking. It apparently has a two-year warranty but I have called several times trying to get in touch with somebody and on one occasion I got Letty to answer the phone and she advised me that the company they used for the Boulder stain only speak Spanish so she would call and talk to them for me. But I have not heard back I have been following up for over a year with this issue. There's absolutely no customer service they will not call you back or email you back if there's a problem. So your warranty is basically null & void because you cannot get in contact with anybody. We had them servicing our pool once a week but literally the guy they would send would come out check the chemicals empty the skimmer baskets and occasionally vacuum the bottom of the pool. But he never brushed or kept up with that calcium ring where the waterline is so that ring has just grown out of control again. And I had to remind him when it was time to clean the filters because they had not clean the filters either. So we canceled our weekly service because we just felt $170 was not worth the lack of care for our pool.

Chris has been a pleasure to work with! We initially reached out about a year ago and he has been…read morevery generous with his time as well as authentic every time we've met. He's been flexible with our timing, had a very well thought out pool and construction design (our house is mostly geometrical so we scratched the initial design I brought to him and went with his geometrical design as well as went with his suggestion to have a retaining wall built so that the structural integrity of our pool is not compromised). When you meet Chris you'll notice that he is very knowledgeable about what it takes to build a quality pool. There are many small things that Chris has pointed out that I'm sure any other pool builders would have missed (like pouring the gunite first entrance step one inch lower to compensate for coping, pouring the second step wider so that the overlapping coping doesn't shorten its width and makes it shorter than the other steps etc). We are very happy of our current build (still in the plumbing phase) - I will update this review with pictures of the finished project once it's done! Have already started recommending him to family members who will be building a pool soon and recommend you give Chris a shot too.

I will update again if anything ever gets finished. I bought a lovely swim spa from Spas Unlimited a couple of years ago. We have enjoyed the spa. Noticed a few issues this spring. Reached out to Esmeralda in service. Paid a Couple hundred dollar service fee. Waited over a month for a Technician to visit. He spend about 10 mins with my spa. Enough to remove filters and the top of spa. He stated he needed a compressor to blow the lines, and the spa jets seemed glued on and were not popping off easily. He left. I truly thought he was either going to get a compressor or have lunch. He never returned. I waited another week to call Esmeralda who stated that they were "waiting to see how the owner wanted to proceed with the repair". I haven't heard back in three weeks. The request for service started back in Spring. It is now almost August. Unsure of what I paid $$ for service call. Absolutely nothing was done. I've been more than patient.

Indeed, we saw ourselves as partners in this build and ensured we read all materials and asked any question we had no matter small, no matter how many times! A few times during the installation, whenever we had questions or concerns, they were extremely responsive, both on the phone and in person.

After reading some of the negative reviews, they are all related to my issues, if you don't want to…read morebelieve me, believe the trend. See below for details. I was very pleased with my pool and service for the first couple of months, but then the problems started. In short, they do a fair job on the structural, but they use cheap materials for the cosmetic part (plaster, tile, grout, pavers, turf, etc.). Quality of materials used and unresponsive to warranty. Most of the issues will appear around the 6-month mark, then they'll tell you they are very busy and please be patient someone will address it, then when your warranty expires, they say is your fault or it is normal. Full disclosure, they did address some minor issues as a "favor". But some of the issues came back because the problem is the quality of the material they used/offer. Their pricing is above most pool builders by at least 50% - I assumed paying premium was a way of having certainty I wouldn't go through this. I was wrong. There were several (minor?) issues when the pool was finished, but I was told "It is normal or will correct itself", after a few months passed they were "gracious" on coming and fixing some of the things I was complaining about, mostly cosmetic and one related to the pumps. Issues: - Pool pump will shut down after using the spa or just by switching it on. They fixed this with some sort of regulator at no cost. - Paid for an upgrade on the water scuppers, they rusted very quickly (I would assume they used element resistant material, or high quality, but I was wrong). After MANY emails and probably a year after, they finally "fixed" it by applying a coating that will prevent rust, so far it has worked, but I am sure this will be a problem in the months to come. - Stone pavers, they looked great for the first 2 months... after a couple of heavy rains, they are all misaligned some sank, some popped up. This upgrade was expensive, and they don't sand by the quality they announce. - Plaster. from day 1 i noticed the color was not uniform. I asked them and they told me it was normal and will become uniform as I brush or clean my pool. A year after, the pool looked the same. They came back and did an acid wash of the pool. The plaster color now is uniform but not the color I selected, also I got an upgrade to have shiny shell bits and after the acid wash, they are now white dots. After I asked for a resolution, they are deaf to my questions and they only response I am out of warranty, even when plaster is 10 years. On top of everything, the plaster is falling off. - Water sheer descent. They installed a descent where the water flows in chunks, not as a single downflow, so it looks weird. They say is my fault because I don't clean it. Although I clean it, I don't think is supposed to act that way. A second service person came and said, Oh we have to open the thing a bit more, he did, improved a little but same outcome. To the point we never use the sheer descent, because it looks ugly. - Tile and Grout. The tile we picked at the design center is not made for pool or outdoor, it absorbs the elements in the water and environment and became stained. The grout they use is permeable as well, so scaling surfaced easily. Had issue also with the coping, turf, and other minor things that I decided to leave out, so the post is not even longer. They also claim to be ALL-American, and most of the contractors they use are immigrants (nothing wrong with that). But just beware, it is just another lie. I don't know how a company can say to you "God bless" when they are so dishonest.

That might have been the end of the review but they have proven to be an outstanding provider. Eric (one of the proprietors), is very responsive and overall, just a great guy. Recently, I noticed a small leak in our Rollo injector that was squirting onto the grass. The leak was pure chorine and there was a significant dead patch of grass. I sent Eric a text (I believe it was on a weekend) to which he immediately responded, he came out the very next day which was also on the weekend. He found the leak and sent one of his guys out to fix it. Now that would be amazing in and of itself but there's more. He sent a man out from a landscape company to dig out the contaminated soil and re-sod the area where the dead grass was. This level of customer service blows me away. Blue Cube is the real deal, there was no begging and cajoling to do the right thing. They just did it and it was their idea. As for the price, I am amazed they can be so competitive. They are careful about what they take on because they want to be able to provide the best customer service so they have chosen grow their their business responsibly, while some pool services just take on as many pools as they get calls for, Blue Cube limits the clientele to a number that they can manage. I waited to do this review because I wanted to be sure they were the real deal. We are coming up on one year and I am very pleased. If you need pool service, get your name on their waiting list and say your prayers. If you are lucky, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I had worked with them years ago when I purchased my Jacuzzi/spa, which is still gorgeous, but this pool has completely transformed my backyard into a private resort. The process took some time in the beginning with planning and design, but it absolutely paid off in the end. Between Montana, Jacob, and Stacey, and their fantastic and friendly crews, the final result looks like something straight out of a postcard. I literally can't stop staring at it. The back of my patio villa home is mostly windows. I used to keep them open just for natural light. Now, even at night, the view is so stunning that it feels like living inside a luxury retreat. I never imagined something this breathtaking could be my own backyard. They designed and built the pool, waterfall wall, and deck to blend seamlessly with my existing natural stone pond and waterfall. The attention to detail is incredible. As pretty much expected, we ran into a couple of snags and I'm a perfectionist. BUT what truly sets this company apart is how they handled everything. Montana, Jacob and General Manager Stacey they went above and beyond to make it right. and then some. The colors, textures, and overall design are just invigorating. And I don't even have to tell you how much my adult kids and grandkids love it, they never want to leave! Because I trusted their work, I continued with irrigation repairs, landscape design, and outdoor lighting and once again, they delivered a home run. I even added one of their chillers systems. In Texas, where summers last nine/ten months, pools can quickly turn into bathtubs. The chiller will make all the difference, allowing us to actually enjoy the pool even in peak heat. My backyard is now something people dream about. We're retired and used to travel to experience beautiful scenery. Now, we have that same feeling right at home from morning coffee to a glass of wine in the evening, it truly feels like our own private resort. I highly recommend Richards Total Backyard Solutions for pools, spas, landscaping, irrigation, lighting, and complete backyard transformations.
