Pool Buying Newbie in Houston Needing Recommendations

firstpool4me
13 years ago

New to TX and buidling a new home in Spring. I have just started the bid process and have Houston Pool Design & Platinum Pools lined up thus far, since some others didn't want to talk to me when I told them I wasn't looking to spend 40k. I'm on a pretty tight budget but am not requiring too much. Just needing a small pool without any crazy bell and whistles, more so looking for some aesthetics and somewhere to swim when the Houston temp hits 3 digits....but obviously looking for someone reputable who will get the job done headache free. Can anyone give insight on those two companies or give any recommendations on a builder that will do something for 25k?
