HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS
Peter and Kelli Gardner
We had never built a pool before and therefore needed a great deal of guidance. We also had concerns as to how long and how much of a challenge construction would be in the process. Hamlin Pools was great in both regards. They helped design a pool that would meet our needs and we never felt that we were being “oversold” on features that we did not need or were not necessary for us. When it came to construction, they actually completed everything ahead of schedule with very good quality workmanship. We have really enjoyed our pool since it has been built. It is great for our family to spend time around it and in it and it always receives compliments from guests. We also use Hamlin for our pool maintenance. This actually has been a real value to us as our pool always looks clean and sparkles throughout the year
Pool Construction FAQ’s
What types of pools do you build in the Rio Grande Valley?
We build custom shotcrete (concrete) pools in the Rio Grande Valley, designed for durability, flexibility, and complete backyard customization, from modern layouts to natural lagoon-style designs.
How long does it take to build a pool in the Rio Grande Valley?
Most custom pools are completed in 4 to 12 weeks, depending on design complexity, weather, and city inspections in your area.
How much does it cost to build a pool in the Rio Grande Valley?
Pool construction in the Rio Grande Valley typically starts around $36,500, with final pricing based on size, features, and overall design.
Why does my pool look smaller when it is staked out?
Pool layouts often appear smaller during staking. Once excavation begins, the true size and shape of your pool become much more visible.
When are pool steps installed during construction?
Pool steps are custom-built in concrete during the shotcrete phase, even if they are not visible in the early stages of construction.
Do I need to keep shotcrete wet after installation?
Yes. Shotcrete should be kept wet for at least 7 days to ensure proper curing, strength, and long-term durability.
Why are there gaps between construction days?
Short pauses between phases are normal during pool construction. Each stage depends on scheduling, inspections, and curing time to ensure quality results.
What should I do while my pool is filling with water?
Monitor the water level and turn it off once it reaches the middle of the tile. Do not stop filling completely, as this can damage the plaster.
When do I start maintaining my new pool?
Once your pool reaches the proper water level, your superintendent will guide you on when and how to begin maintenance.
Will I receive instructions on how to take care of my pool?
Yes. We provide a scheduled walkthrough with step-by-step pool care instructions after construction is complete.
