Houston Cool Pools The year was 1998, Space Shuttle Discovery blasts off with 77-year-old John Glenn on board, Dale Earnhardt wins the Daytona 500 in his 20th try, Denver Broncos become the first AFC team in 14 years to win the Super Bowl. But it also marked another significant event, the creation of Houston Cool Pools.

After 10 years of frustration working for a large pool builder, we were unhappy with the level of knowledge, customer satisfaction and service provided by that company and throughout the industry in general. After the sale was made there was little to no communication with the customer, and the level of service was not what was promised.

We knew there had to be a better way. We knew we could provide it. So we formed Houston Cool Pools. Our goal was never to be the biggest, just the best. To never grow to the point where we could not fully satisfy our customer, to build a pool correctly and with the quality of service that we could b e proud of. We are truly "Building our reputation one pool at a time." That's why 85% of our business is repeat or referral!

If you want to own your own "dream pool" chances are you are thinking that you will want to custom design your own pool.

Houston Cool Pools averages just over 4-5 weeks of actual construction time for every pool we build.
Considering the complexity of many of our pools this is truly a standard for others to shoot at.

Mike Lopez did an amazing job from start to finish. This is the second in ground pool he has built for us - we wouldn't choose anyone else. Our pool looks great and even with scarce materials, he kept our project on track. We recommended him to friends and would do so again. Thanks, Mike! Service: Inground pool installation

Was excellent, the entire process was pain free and they let us know what was going on each step of the way. They created a beautiful pool. Even a year after the pool was finished, I called because I had a light go out and someone was out the next day to replace it. Service: Inground pool installation

We interviewed a few companies before choosing Houston Cool Pools to build our pool last year. We made the right choice. The quality and professionalism from everyone at HCP was top notch. People talk about good service but even after a full year, we still find HCP to take the time to help us with questions. We could not be more pleased with the results.

This has been a game changer in how we use our back yard. This was a custom design and HCP worked with us to tweak it until it was just right. Don't buy your pool before talking to Houston Cool Pools.

I have worked with Houston Cool Pools now for a little over two years now and they are definitely a top quality pool company in the Houston area. I have had many conversations with Mike in our working with each other. Mike is a professional through and through and treats everyone with respect. The customer service is one of their strongest qualities.

The level of pride and professionalism shows in the quality of their work. I would highly recommend calling Houston Cool Pools if you are interested in building or remodeling a swimming pool.

Cathleen with Houston Cool Pools is awesome. In a day when integrity and character doesn't seem to be a virtue. Cathleen exhibited both in dealing with me. I was very impressed with her as an individual, service, professionalism she demonstrated with us concerning our pool remodel bidding process. I highly recommend her.

As a video marketing company, part of my job is to learn how a business operates (customer service, attention to detail, etc.) so I can create a video that conveys their message correctly. Meeting Mike Lopez and his team, seeing how their company works and learning how much is involved in pool construction. I was blown away by how Houston Cool Pools operates.

There are so many "moving parts" to building a pool and Houston Cool Pools has systems in place and a team of highly trained and qualified people to deal with all of it. Honest, sincere, hardworking people with one goal in mind, happy customers. And on top of that, they build absolutely beautiful pools, outdoor kitchens and more. Mike Lopez also gives back to his community. Great people, great company!

The entire team of Houston Cool Pools is professional and highly skilled in their craft. We went to several pool companies and received several bids and designs. The design created by John K. at Houston Cool Pools exceeded our expectations, and fit our backyard environment perfectly. John also customized it to meet the features we would enjoy most.

Now that it is completed, we have enjoyed it immensely! Miguel, the project lead for construction was delightful to work with. He is highly knowledgeable about the entire construction process and walked us through it, informing us at each step. I highly recommend this company.

We had the most wonderful experience building our pool with Houston Cool Pools! From design with Mike C to the build with Miguel and quality assurance with owner, Mike Lopez, along the way. Everything was a breeze! The crews were courteous and professional, they cleaned between steps and treated our property with respect. They exceeded my expectations and completed the job on time with quick responses to any of my questions. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking!

My wife and I chose HCP from several suggestions from co-workers and personal interviews. This is our first pool and we wanted to get it right from a quality standpoint and value. Since we were new to this there were a few changes made along the way, but each time it was effortless. Mike C, Mike L, and of course Miguel and their teams of contractors made the vision come to life. We're very happy with the final product and have already spent countless hours enjoying and learning about our pool and will for many years to come. Thanks guys!

Excellent service. You know what you will get from the get go. No surprises. John was enthusiastic and knows his pool designs. Worked with us on what we wanted considering budget. Miguel, during the construction process was there all the way. I am a perfectionist and keep asking questions and Miguel was very patient with us. If there is a mistake during the construction process it will be corrected to reflect what we agreed from a design point of view.

The owner Mike also very attentive and there throughout the process. Also amazing cleaning technology. Couldn't be happier with my pool. A big thank you to all the Cool Pool guys.

My husband and I chose Houston Cool Pools because of Mike Lopez, the owner, who visited our house on a cold rainy day right after Christmas when everyone else was telling us they were on vacation. The dedication spoke volumes immediately. Mike was honest, thoughtful and straightforward without ever overshooting our budget at any point throughout the quoting process or construction.

The project was a huge success and we are very happy pool owners. The project did take a little bit to get off the ground once we all came to an agreement but once it was started, it was managed by Miguel Sosa who is one of the best project managers that we have had. Miguel was very passionate about the entire process. He would show up after a long day in the sun to make sure the "little" things were taken care such as trash and any inconveniences that you may have in your backyard. Knowing Miguel is a family man, my husband and I were very appreciative that he would work after hours to ensure success of our project. Miguel kept all of the contractors in line and would go up to bat for us when we did not think that something was correct after installation. Miguel would call the contractors out if he felt like they cut corners or did not do quality work.

This did not happen much, but we did notice that Miguel does not settle for mediocrity. Overall, the coordination of the vast amount of contractors (gunite, plumbing, tile, equipment, etc.) was pretty seamless with Miguel in charge. Only due to weather did we ever have delays and by the end we met our timeline that we set out for at the beginning. We are happy pool owners and would recommend Houston Cool Pools to everyone!

Houston Cool Pools did a fantastic job. We told them what our budget was and provided an idea of what we like. Mike was very patient and helpful and was great to work with throughout the design process. They took care of everything from design, permitting, construction and follow-up and never once did we ever have a less-than-positive feeling. Their follow up after the pool was installed has been very thorough. Matt came by and did our "pool school" training and spent about an hour teaching us how to maintain our beautiful new pool. Absolutely a class-act - honest, knowledgeable, nice & an excellent value. Highly recommend Houston Cool Pools!

We looked at 3 companies to build a pool in our backyard. John, at Houston Cool Pools, along with Mike, Veronica and staff far exceeded our expectations. One other company was good, and the other company spent little time at our home and then took too long to get back to us. John spent almost 2 hours at our home on his 1st visit; and he helped us realize we could have much larger pool than we thought possible.

He took all kinds of measurements then went and designed a beautiful workable pool/hot tub, which met our families needs and desires. No other company took the time to consider all the challenges our yard had, like the placement of underground power lines etc. Their answer was: just build a smaller pool. John then, also, added fun features to our pool/hot tub, like bubblers, fire bowls and a table which is in the pool, (where I personally love to sit and read); plus a beautiful deck around the pool.

It was a rainy winter/spring when our pool was built, but they got the job done; and as the pictures show-it turned out stunning! What is, also, almost most important, since having the pool installed, Houston Cool Pools has continued to provide excellent customer service and help with any types of issues we have had with the pool, hot tub and fire bowls.
