Getting our pool done by the Gohlke Pools was the best decision we've made. Starting from the planning process Wes was very creative and came up with solutions that fit our needs budget and the space that we had. Communication was easy and we never had to wait for replies or feel that we weren't a priority. From the very first meeting we knew that Gohlke pools was the best choice from the few competitors we had spoken to. We had the privilege to also work with some other amazing people through out the building process. Nathan was the supervisor for the whole building process and definitely the best guy for the job! He had an answer to all our questions and i'm not going to lie, we had a lot of them (us both being engineers)!! :) And besides being our "go-to guy" we enjoyed hanging out at the construction site when we had the chance and just talk with him and his crew either about the project or sometimes just joking around! :) We were surprised that even though our backyard was "out-of use" for some months we enjoyed going through this whole process and seeing it develop step by step. Mostly it was because of the people we were working with and secondly the end result was a beautiful high quality pool that is now the focal point of our backyard and gives us so much joy in the Texas heat!! :) So thank you Gohlke Pools!!! :)

We are 100% satisfied and very happy with our entire project. We are new to Texas and this is our first pool. Our project consisted of the pool along with the outdoor kitchen and pergola. Being a significant investment, we did a considerable amount of shopping around before deciding to go with Gohlke, and we are happy that we did. The knowledge and professionalism stood out from the start, and the workmanship is second to none. From the beginning, Tim did an outstanding job guiding us through the design and selection process, until the end as Nathan supervised every detail of construction while promptly addressing any and all questions or concerns we may have had. The entire process was not only positive, but couldn't have been an overall better experience. We highly recommend Gohlke Pools.

Gohlke Pools has a very knowledgeable staff that keeps up with the latest trends and innovations in properly maintaining and enjoying your pool. Take the guessing out of what should I do and let them make your life easier.

By far a WONDERFUL organization to have built our dream pool/spa. From the planning all he way through to fillingwith water the team from Gohlke walked us through every step answering our NEVER-ending list of questions. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable, courteous and eager to please us. We couldn't be happier and HIGHLY recommend Gohlke Pools to anyone considering building a first time pool or redoing one. Quality and professionalism at its finest!!!!!?

We have had a real challenge keeping our pool balanced the past couple of weeks with this really hot August weather.... Billy has been a godsend working really hard to keep our pool looking it’s very best and chemically balanced. Thank you Billy for pushing through all this hot weather and doing a great job!

Our pump started leaking so my husband called on Monday, Travis called back within a few minutes. He came out on... Tuesday and ordered a part, said it would be in Friday or next Monday, but they went out of their way to pick it up from Plano. He came back today (Wednesday) and fixed it! Can’t say enough good things about Gohlke, and Travis was professional and friendly! We only use Gohlke!!!read more

Gohlke Pools goes out of their way to build a great relationship with their customers. My hats off to Gohlke Pools you have a customer for life. Best pool company in Texas. Thank you.read more

I have a 6 year old pool that has been nothing but trouble since a month after it was installed. I called for a leak... issue could not run my pumps it was so bad. Told me two weeks before they could even come out to look or test. I had water bubbling up from the side of the pool. I had to dig the holes myself and called a plumber to look at pipes. Had another leak a year or so later. Both repairs with plumbers and other pool companies looking at the issues said the pipes were not even glued. Gohlke has pushed blame on me or the water after telling me to leave it alone or blaming it on anything else. Oh and don’t even try to call the store after you get through the automated system no one knows what the other one is doing. So when asked who should I get to build my pool I always reply anyone but Gholke.read more

We had Gohlke Pools out in 2018 do some repairs on our pool deck. They cleaned out and replaced the expansion joint... between the pool deck and surrounding concrete. The original work looked good. However it was a hot summer and after 2-3 months the joint started to expand and gaps emerged. Fast forward to March 2019. We called Gohlke and had a rep come out. He took some pics and said he would call with a determination to fix. Talked to Dale today and was told that the work was not covered by warranty anymore since they only give a 30 day warranty period for the work but they would come out to fix the problem BUT I would still have to pay, but at a discounted rate. My problem when they first looked at the job site, nothing was ever said about the probability of it not working nor did they suggest any other possible solution. So we paid over $700 for work didn't even last a year. Had their concerns that were expressed today in our phone conversation been related when they first came out we would have looked for a more permanent solution.read more

Nathan at Gohlke Pools is amazing! We have had our pool for a number of years and starting having a serious leak with... our Spa. With ONE phone call, Nathan stepped in and solved our problem! It was a pretty extensive repair but they did it in a way where you cannot even see the repair work they had to do to get to the pipes. The plaster repairs are amazing! Nathan was creative, persistent, and solved the problem with speed and incredible customer service! Thank you Gohlke Pools! We love our pool and spa!read more

We had Colin from Goelke’s service team out to diagnose an equipment leak. He was able to explain what we needed and... made arrangements to install a new pool heater and repair a worn filter seal. Everything went smoothly and we happy to have someone as knowledgeable as Colin to help us. Thank you, Goelke service team.read more

Well we are in the process of getting our pool built and have been very happy. To start with our initial meeting with... Wes was excellent. Wes new what he was talking about and made me want to work with Gohlke. To top it off Wes design was beautiful, he listened to what we wanted. Nathan as project mgr has kept us in the loop and been able to answer any question I’ve had. We are having a wonderful experience with Gohlke team and can’t wait for the end result of our pool.read more

From the very start when we met with a salesman to working with the site foreman to buying things from the store, we... were treated VERY well by ALL. We couldn't be happier with our pool/hot tub combo! May not be the cheapest in town but I firmly believe you get what you pay for and to be perfectly honest I think we got exactly what we paid for AND MORE!!! Even their subs were great to work with especially the excavator, electrician and the entire landscaping crew. All were very professional and respectful of both us and our property. Great experience. Would definitely pick Gohlke again!!!!!read more
