Hi Steve. I just wanted to comment on The Pool Man. They are doing a renovation on our 36 year old pool right now. They are fantastic! We had a bad experience with a bigger Houston company when we installed a new deck last year. The Pool Man is everything (so far) that the other builder wasn't.

The thing I've appreciated the most is they use their own people for stuff a lot of big companies sub out, and a supervisor comes to the job site every day and stays a while helping out if needed. We're having both of our ancient skimmers replaced, and it's not an easy job. Just watching the guys work I'm confident they know what they're doing and the job will be done correctly.

Communication to this point has been excellent (one of my biggest gripes last year). Everybody I've had contact with at The Pool Man seems to really know pools and has been in the business a long time. I hope you also have a good experience!

Your design looks fantastic! Alas, my pool will still be a plain, older pool, but it will look shiny and new with new tile and Pebble Tec. We're going with the Pebble Tec finish because we have a lot of oak trees and it seems like the pebbled bottom will hide some of the annoying stains we get from the seeds, leaves, twigs, etc. that are always falling in the pool. We do have the Kool Deck topping and like it very much...easy on the feet and easy to clean.

Good Luck!

I am glad to hear that. I know a bunch of people that have used them and have been very happy. Thanks!
