Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Pool Construction

---

Custom pool investment varies based on size, features, materials, and site conditions.  In the Greater Houston area, most luxury custom pool projects typically begin in the mid to upper five figures and increase based on design complexity, integrated spas, outdoor kitchens, covered patios, and specialty finishes. 

During your private design consultation, we provide clarity on scope and investment expectations before construction begins. 

Construction timelines depend on design complexity, permitting requirements, weather, and feature integration.  Most custom gunite pool projects take approximately 8 to 12 weeks once construction begins. 

We follow a structured build process with defined phases to maintain predictable progress throughout the process. 

In many communities in Manvel, Pearland, and Mont Belvieu, HOA approval is required before construction can begin.  Pools of Dreams will assist you with the HOA submission, including required drawings and documentation, to help minimize delays.

Gunite is a high-strength concrete application sprayed over a reinforced steel framework to form a monolithic pool shell.  It is the industry standard for luxury custom pools because it allows for complete design flexibility, structural integrity, and long-term durability. 

Yes.  Every custom pool project begins with a detailed 3D rendering.  This allows you to visualize layout, scale, materials, and features before excavation starts.  Adjustments can be made during the design phase to ensure confidence before construction. 

We design and construct integrated spas, waterfalls, waterslides, sheer descents, fire features, sunken fire pits, tanning ledges, infinity spillovers, automation systems, custom lighting, outdoor kitchens, covered patios, pergolas, and architectural hardscape elements.  

Each project is tailored to your property and lifestyle.
