Crites family portrait
OUR STORY
Built by the same Texas family since 1978.
For 47 years, three generations of the same family have built backyards across San Antonio, the Hill Country, Austin, and Coastal Texas. More than 10,000 projects. Same name on the contract for nearly half a century.
Most pool companies in Texas have been bought by private equity in the last decade. Crews change. Designers leave. Phone numbers stop working. We've watched the industry consolidate while staying exactly what we've always been — a family business with relationships, not a portfolio company with quarterly targets.
Our designers stay involved from your first conversation through your final reveal. Our contractor network is built on decades of partnership, not lowest-bid auctions. Our service team handles your pool for life. When you build with us, you're not a project number. You're someone we'll see again.
