Choosing a Builder

First and foremost, it is important that you do your homework when choosing the company that will build your swimming pool. We recommend that you look for a pool builder that has plenty of experience and puts a premium on quality. Markers for a high-quality builder usually include longevity, excellent online reviews, and industry accolades. The swimming pool industry has an extensive community of prize-giving organizations that reward innovative design and quality construction; these awards are an excellent indicator that a company builds high-quality, state-of-the-art swimming pools. Ultimately, it is important to remember the value of quality construction. A pool built using industry best-practices and the best materials available will pay dividends in the end.

Choosing a Design

Choosing a design can be one of the most difficult parts of the pool buying process. It is a good idea to ask friends and family about their pools: What do they like about their pool? What do they wish they could change about it? Their perspective can help point you in the right direction during the early stages of design selection. Remember to think about the space around your pool as well. Are you looking for more patio space? Maybe you’d like a pergola, arbor, or a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. There is much more to backyard living than just your swimming pool.

If the pool builder you are working with has been in business for a while, they will likely have a portfolio of designs you can use as a reference. The bottom line is, the more design examples you are able to look at, the better your understanding will be of what you like and dislike. Don’t hesitate to ask the salesperson or designer you are working with for advice or input. There is a good chance that they will be able to help guide you towards a design that matches your taste as well as complements the aesthetic of your backyard and your house.

Ultimately, taking the time to carefully select your builder, as well as choosing a design that will suit both your budget and your style preferences, is the best way to ensure that you’ll end up with a swimming pool you are proud to own.

New Pools Remodels Service Request

David C

Albert did a great job communicating throughout... from swinging by before repair to ensure correct sizing/equipment, through quoting, ordering, scheduling time and completing repair. Top notch, very professional and great experience. Thanks, Albert!

Kevin Nowak

I just want to compliment Gohlke Pools for 14 years of service to our family. I want to especially thank them for their skilled repair techs. Albert has done a lot of maintenance work for us and his skills and professionalism are top notch. It is my pleasure to recommend Gohlke for regular service, maintenance, or new construction.

We recently hired Gohlke Pools to remodel our patio and add on an outdoor kitchen. An important feature of the kitchen was a large pizza oven I ordered that from delivery to installation added a lot of complexity to our project. Bill, our project manager, handled every challenge I threw at him with patience and grace. There was some minor damage to the oven during shipping and before they installed it Bill spent a week hunting down replacement tile to repair the damage so I’d never know the difference. The oven looks perfect! Every member of every crew they had at our house were very skilled professionals but I must give a special thanks to their stonemasons, Jesus and Osvaldo. The fireplace they created for us is gorgeous. We couldn’t be happier with our new patio and I can’t recommend Gohlke Pools enough.

Gohlke did a great job building us an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and remodeling our large patio including resurfacing the concrete. Always on schedule, all over the worker were a class act. Bill supervising the job was a real pro and great to deal with. Placing a 3000 pound oven was a challenge and they made it look easy. Real attention to detail. This is a great company!

They go above and beyond to make sure that our pool is running properly. Technicians, service guys, repairs, new construction, and the office staff are all super helpful and friendly.

DFW Hot Tubs made the entire hot tub buying experience easy and enjoyable. Pablo was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind, guiding me through every step and helping my family choose the perfect spa for our needs. He provided clear education on care and maintenance, and his support has continued even after the purchase. I highly recommend DFW Hot Tubs and specifically Pablo for his professionalism and outstanding customer service!

WOW! Just WOW! We couldn’t be happier with our first pool! It’s a huge investment, and you want to feel confident and comfortable with your decision. From the first meet-and-greet to Matt and Connor checking in after completion, we are so thankful we chose Gohlke Pools. Communication gets 100 stars! We received regular email updates throughout the project with timelines and progress reports. Connor was extremely helpful with design ideas and changes, and Matt was always present—taking care of anything and everything promptly. Caden did a fantastic job with our “pool school” at the end. He was patient, answered every question, and genuinely wanted us to feel prepared. The entire process was smooth, and they even finished ahead of schedule. We were also impressed with each subcontractor—the quality of their work and the respect they had for our property were outstanding. Subias, the recommended landscaper, was wonderful to work with, and Javier Subias was incredibly helpful in planning our outdoor design. All in all, we were so impressed with Gohlke that we’ve decided to use them for our weekly service as well. THANK YOU, GOHLKE POOLS, for making our experience so positive!
