If you are looking for a pool builder in Houston or Katy, you have no shortage of options. The challenge is not finding a company willing to build a pool. The challenge is finding one that will build it correctly, communicate honestly throughout the process, and stand behind their work when the project is done.
This is what we believe sets a trustworthy pool builder apart, and it is the standard we hold ourselves to at CHR Builder.
Experience That Translates to Better Builds
Our owner has 20+ years in construction before founding CHR Builder in Katy, TX in 2021. That background spans structural concrete work, drainage systems, excavation, and large-scale outdoor projects. When we approach a pool build, we are not just thinking about what the pool looks like. We are thinking about the soil conditions, the drainage plan, the structural integrity of the shell, and how the pool integrates with the property as a whole.
That construction-first perspective shows up in the details that homeowners do not always see: proper steel placement before gunite, careful bond beam construction, drainage designed to keep water moving away from the house and equipment pad, and equipment installation that allows for easy access when service is needed.
Since 2021, we have completed 100+ projects in the greater Houston area and earned 40+ five-star Google reviews from clients who are proud of what we built together.
Certified, Licensed, and Insured in Texas
CHR Builder holds a Texas Pool and Spa Contractor license as required by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Beyond the state license, our team carries two specific industry certifications that reflect our commitment to technical excellence:
- CPO (Certified Pool Operator) through the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance, covering water chemistry, systems management, and safe pool operation
- NPC Start-Up Certified Technician through the National Plasterers Council, covering the plaster installation and startup process that directly determines the quality and lifespan of your pool's interior finish
We carry full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and we can provide documentation of both before you sign anything.
A Design Process Built Around Your Yard
Every CHR Builder project starts with a free consultation that includes a 3D design for your specific property. We walk your yard, ask questions about how you use the space and what features matter most, and then develop a design that fits your lot, your home's architecture, and your budget.
The 3D design is not a formality. It is the point where we catch problems before they become expensive surprises in the field. It is where we figure out the right pool size for the available space, position equipment for convenient access, plan traffic flow between the pool and the house, and show you exactly what you are getting before you commit to anything.
The discovery call, the site visit, the 3D design, and one or two rounds of revisions are all free. You do not pay anything until you sign a contract and we break ground.
Serving Katy, Houston, and Surrounding Communities
We work within a 60-mile radius of Katy, TX, serving homeowners throughout the greater Houston area including, closest to farthest:

We know local soil conditions, municipal permit processes, HOA requirements, and the drainage challenges specific to Southeast Texas because we build here every day.
Flexible Financing Through Lyon Financial
CHR Builder works with Lyon Financial, a lender that specializes in pool and outdoor living financing. Pools starting at $49,999 can be financed from $457 per month depending on loan terms. Checking your rate through Lyon Financial does not affect your credit score, and you can use their loan calculator to estimate monthly payments before you start the consultation process.
Warranty That Protects Your Investment
We stand behind our work with some of the strongest warranty terms in the industry:
- 25-year structural warranty (transferable to a future buyer)
- 10-year plaster warranty (transferable to a future buyer)
- 3-year equipment warranty
- 2-year workmanship warranty
These warranties reflect the confidence that comes from building pools the right way from the start, not from cutting corners to hit a low bid number.
Why Our Process Produces Better Long-Term Results
We think the biggest difference between a pool that looks great five years later and one that is showing its age comes down to decisions made during construction that most homeowners never see. The depth of the excavation, the quality of the steel, the care taken during the gunite application, the drainage plan for the equipment pad, the startup and cure process for the plaster finish. These are not glamorous details. They are the foundation of a pool that holds up under Texas conditions for decades.
Our team treats every project as if we are building it for our own family, because our reputation in this community depends on the results we deliver, one project at a time.
