Just finished designing our pool with Will Haws and we're now under contract with Platinum Pools. Will has been amazing and quite honestly the main reason we're going with Platinum. I received cheaper quotes however Will did a heck a job designing and redesigning (x5) a pool that we're going to love. I fret over everything and Will really sold me! For those looking for a pool, look no further! I hope to update this review with more love for PP for those who may be on the fence with buying a pool. -Albert

Platinum pools was a nightmare to work with. Two years later, and they have still not completed our pool when we paid in full. The designer was amazing, but our construction manager had poor communication, was rude, made many mistakes, was never here and overall the company does not value their customers. They are asking for more money to finish, and it is a total scam.

Mark and the entire team at Platinum Pools have been fantastic from day 1. We had our first design within 24 hours of our first meeting and our final design within a week. The entire team has been very responsive and proactive with communication and they've been extremely flexible with small design changes throughout the entire process. If you're considering a pool in the Houston area, I'd highly recommend Platinum Pools!

Buddy our pool designer, came up with the best design for our backyard. Doug the build superintendent is the best! They both were outstanding throughout the build process. My family couldn't be more pleased!

From the first phone call until the final completion of pool construction Platinum exceeded our expectations. Working with Sean Smallwood to get the design exactly how we wanted it was a great experience. He's extremely knowledgeable and his ideas perfectly aligned with our vision. Our superintendent Dave was a breeze to work with, always kept us informed about all stages of the project and always willing to answer our questions. Thanks to both of you guys for making this a fun and stress free experience. If you're in the market for a new pool, I give Platinum Pools my highest recommendation.
