Reliant designed and constructed an inground swimming pool for us and I must admit, it was a fabulous job from start to finish. David Akins did a wonderful job in providing the perfect design for my family. We were going with a diving pool but after he showed us all the pros/cons from that type of pool, we decided to add a spa instead. The crew were all professional and always answered any of our questions. I highly recommend Reliant Pools if you are interested in exploring a pool project for your home.

Extremely impressed with Reliant Pools. We got bids from four companies before deciding to move forward with them - even though they weren't the lowest bid. Joel is highly knowledgeable and Donny is beyond attentive to customer needs, questions and requests. We're very happy with the final result and it's easy to recommend Reliant to others.

I can't say enough good things about Reliant Pools. Joel was amazing, he was here almost every day checking in on the progress of our pool. He really helped us create this amazing oasis in our backyard. Joel delivered on everything that we were quoted, and was flexible and affordable when mid project I decided to make a few changes to the plans. He offered his honest opinion on what would or would not work for us. I highly recommend Reliant Pools!

Reliant Pools exceeded our expectations in every way! Joel saw our vision for our dream pool and was able to make it a reality. He is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and sets reasonable expectations. He is a fantastic communicator and a wealth of knowledge. He finished our pool faster than we could have imagined. This is due to his fantastic subs and his excellent relationship with them. If you're looking for a swimming pool contractor, give them a call; you won't be disappointed.

Reliant Pools gets two solid thumbs up! From the start, Joel came out and worked his design magic to come up with an amazing layout to fit our backyard. When the design was finalized, we met with him to sign contracts and pick out materials and he truly walked us through step-by-step on what would happen during the process. Then came in Elijah who were equally amazing. They took the time to discuss each of the processes and answer any questions we had.
They took time to follow up to let us know when their people were coming and what they would be doing. All super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I'd recommend them the best swimming pool contractor in Austin!

We are so thrilled with our Reliant pool! It was a priority for us to have a pool with a commercial handicapped lift so that each member of our family could enjoy swimming. Other pool builders did not want to deal with that, but Joel and Elijah didn't have any problem adding that to the pool design. Joel was very knowledgeable about commercial lifts and figured out how to make it function both with the pool AND the spa, which we didn't know was even possible! The service and attention to detail at Reliant was outstanding!

We have an extremely sloped backyard and met with 3 pool builders to see what was possible. Joel and Elijah were the last to come out and turned what seemed to be becoming a long shot into an actual plan. Their experience showed and their excitement for the challenge sold us. The ability to pull in and manage multiple contractors for more then just the pool build was also a plus. Joel was straightforward and responsive throughout and has become a trusted adviser we would highly recommend to anyone considering building a pool.

Reliant Pools has been amazing and Joel has gone above and beyond since day one. We couldn't be happier with the design, workmanship, and customer service. Joel truly made this process easy and was onsite almost every day to overlook the progress. We are truly blessed to have worked with such an outstanding company and crew. Thank you!

We had met with a couple of pool builders before going with Reliant Pools. Joel and Donny were great to work with and very knowledgeable. Being in the city of Austin, we had frustrations with the permitting process, etc but Reliant knew the ropes and handled it all for us. The team of contractors that work with Reliant are kind, respectful, hardworking and truly the best in their craft. The end result is a very high quality product. We have a dream backyard with a cabana that now makes our backyard actually enjoyable. If you are seeking the next-level pool, Reliant is your company.

We had EJ and Reliant pools install our very high-end pool in 2014. They did an amazing job under very difficult conditions. The reason I'm writing this review now is to comment on the service after the sale. Any time I have any questions or need reminders on how to work the equipment, or need any help with maintenance issues, Joel responds quickly and pleasantly. He will even respond on week-ends or evenings (he may not want me to say that :)). I have been very satisfied and would highly recommend Reliant Pools!

It has been two years since we began our relationship with Reliant Pools and we couldn't be happier. Planning was collaborative and Joel kept us informed through the build process. It was great to see him on site for all the most critical activities and then later on ensuring the stone work was done with high quality. Reliant Pools has been great long after the work was done. Service has always been swift and complete. I'm happy to recommend Reliant Pools to my friends and neighbors.

Joel and Elijah are pool masters. The design phase was all about our pool and not what they wanted to sell. Elijah was patient, creative and by far the best prepared to gather all of the information needed for my first proposal. He worked with us during the entire design process and never pushed us in a direction that was away from our the original thoughts of our dream pool. He made suggestions that were appropriate and was clear when my ask was one that would compromise their desire for quality.
During construction, Joel and his subs were professional, respectful and organized. Joel is there everyday and checks in to make sure we are on track. He also made suggestions regarding the design and as a result we made some changes that really improved our pool environment. Joel has continued to check in nearly 10 months later to make sure the pool in all that we expected. He is a true pro. Reliant pools is the pool builder you use when you want "your" pool not the pool the pool company wants to sell you. We will use them again.

We got a few estimates before we decided to go with Reliant pools. Joel and Donnie came out initially and were very professional. We met with them in the showroom and went over designs. Donnie was very helpful with the design process and they designed a beautiful natural flowing pool that fit our backyard perfectly. Joel was very professional and had great oversight throughout the entire process; he was here nearly every day during the construction phase.
The waterfall turned out beautifully and is what I think of as a piece of art- the way that the water flows perfectly down in cascade. We were exceptionally happy with our choice of Reliant pools and would highly recommend Reliant pools for anybody choosing to build their own personal oasis!

When we started our search for a pool contractor we got estimates from several companies. Reliant provided several suggestions which really helped improve our initial ideas on how the pool should be designed. We were able to work with reliant to get an extremely competitive price. Thought the entire construction period Joel was there to answer every question we had. There were no hidden expenses or surprises. Joel went out of his way to ensure we were completely satisfied. I would easily do business with them again!

We had a great experience with Reliant. While we almost went with a large builder, talking to Joel convinced us we would get a better quality product with RP and we did. It means a lot to know your project is being supervised by someone that owns the outcome through all phases and cares deeply about the result. Reliant was on site many times all day to supervise and sometimes by 6:30 in the morning. They answered every concern in a timely fashion and I am confident we will continue to work with them in the future. We have already recommended them to several friends and will continue to do so.

We had such a great experience working with Joel and EJ of Reliant Pools. Our pool is gorgeous and exceeded our exceptions! During the bidding and design process EJ listened to us and made sure we understood the differences in the choices we were making to ensure we would have an pool we'd love at the end of the project. The detail work done by the all the workers is like art and was amazing to watch.
The onsite guys cleaned up after themselves everyday and never left our yard or pool shell looking like a junkyard. Any day we had workers onsite Joel would come in the beginning of the day to make sure everyone know what needed to be done, and at the end to check the progress and make sure no issues were found. If we ever move and need another pool built we would definitely use Reliant Pools again. I think that speak volumes to our experience.

My husband and I would like to take a moment to recommend Reliant Pools. Their team exceeded our expectations on several different levels. The consultation and design was much better than the other 3 companies we got quotes from, and that was why we decided to go with them. However, the craftsmanship of their pools is why I have taken the time to recommend them. I'm a very detail oriented person and even I was impressed with how well the masonry work was done.
We did decide to add some extra decking to our project and this was the only delay in an overall smooth and on time construction process. We get compliments all the time on our backyard outdoor living space and it's been a great new addition to our home to relax and hang out with friends in. If you're looking for a pool in Austin, Texas you should give them a call.
