HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS
Rex and Donna Leach
We want to compliment the folks at Hamlin Pools for the outstanding job they did in the total remodel of our pool and patio area. The work they did was not only top-notch in quality but the service rendered by Taylor Hamlin in helping us design the new pool, water feature, and patio area was exemplary. He and Travis Stansberry oversaw the project and kept things moving efficiently and all of the workers were diligent and responsive in getting the job completed. Based on our experience, we would definitely recommend Hamlin Pools for any pool remodeling projects.
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.

Yes. We provide a scheduled walkthrough with step-by-step pool care instructions after construction is complete.
