1. 67 YEARS IN THE SWIMMING POOL BUSINESS IN DENTON—In 1958, Gene Gohlke & Bert Moore combined their talents to build some Denton’s first residential swimming pools. Gohlke Pools has become a nationally recognized pool builder and is currently transitioning to the third generation. This helps assure you that we will be here tomorrow to back what we said today, and to honor our warranties. A warranty means nothing if the company is not in business to back it up.
2. AWARD-WINNING
   • Named many times as one of the Top 50 Pool Builders in the United States.
   • Named many times as one of the Top 50 Pool Service Companies in the United States
   • Named as one of the top 10 Swimming Pool Retail Store in the United States (Aqua Magazine)
   • Over 100 national design awards, including the most prestigious design award in the pool industry, the International Gold Design Award from the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance.
   • Named to the Aqua 100 Swimming Pool Company Hall of Fame
   • Named to the University of North Texas Family Business Hall of Fame
   • Past recipient of the Baylor Family Business of the Year.
3. HIGHLY TRAINED—We have always put an emphasis on continuing education and staying ahead of the curve. We are continually working to improve our knowledge thru in-house training as well as outside training. Our staff includes more Certified Pool Operators than any pool company in Texas. In addition, we have several Certified Building Professionals on staff.
4. FULL-SERVICE SWIMMING POOL COMPANY—We are not just a pool builder that will build your pool and you might never see you again. It is our desire to have a mutually-satisfying business relationship that lasts as long as you own your pool. Toward that end, we provide weekly pool service, pool repair, pool renovation, plus we have a retail store for all of your pool and hot tub needs. Having our own award-winning Service Department means that in most cases, we do our own warranty work on the pool, and every pool will require some level of warranty work. This allows us to most often do warranty work in a timely manner without you having to wait on a third party to make the repairs.
5. WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL—Our current staff has literally seen it all, as we have over 400 years of combined pool experience. This allows us to solve any problems that can arise during or after the construction of your pool.
6. LIFETIME 10% DISCOUNT—For as long as you own your pool, you will receive a 10% discount in our Retail Store and also in our Service Department. This by itself can save you thousands of dollars.
7. FINANCIALLY STABLE AND FULLY INSURED—Many consumers are surprised to find out that there is no insurance or licensing requirements of pool builders in the State of Texas. This can result in the homeowner being held responsible in a situation where a worker gets injured or where property is damaged. In addition, it is important that you hire a company that is large enough to withstand downturns in the economy to ensure that they remain in business, but also to assure that they have the financial wherewithal to handle warranty work that subcontractors will not or cannot resolve.
8. WE ONLY USE PROVEN PRODUCTS—The pool industry is known for introducing new products before they are ready, oftentimes at the expense of the consumer. We only use proven products that we would install on our own pools. The fact that we have been in business for so many years allows us to see pools many years after they have been built, which gives us an advantage to know what works over the long haul and more importantly, what doesn’t work over the long haul.
9. THE TRUTH ABOUT WARRANTIES—We have very good warranties and, if we can, we warrant items longer than the warranties state. We pledge to be completely honest and transparent on what is covered under the warranty and what is not covered under the warranty. We have seen many pool construction contracts that state long warranties on virtually every component of the pool—but then the consumer has to find out the hard way that, unfortunately, virtually everything that can go wrong is excluded from the warranty, or else the pool company or subcontractor that provided the warranty is no longer in business. It can be a very frustrating situation for pool owners. The phrase, “a warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it” certainly applies to the pool construction industry.
10. QUALITY IS OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU—Our commitment to you is to build a quality product and not make decisions based on what is cheaper. Making decisions on the “what is cheaper” method often results in an unhappy pool owner, where instead of enjoying your swimming pool you are constantly having problems and wondering, “What is going to go wrong next?” We want you to enjoy your pool—not think bad thoughts when you look into your backyard. Benjamin Franklin was right when he said, “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

Thank you.
We want to be your swimming pool builder.
