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.

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!
