If you are looking to build a high quality luxury pool I highly recommend Denali Pools! Jordan did an amazing job designing our pool & decking and Henry and his team of builders made the design come to life. Of course there are always challenges with major construction projects, but Henry's outstanding communication, project management and customer service skills made a huge difference and delivered a pool right on time for the summer! A big thank you to the entire Denali Pools Team.

I am going to be honest. We started out good and then hit quite a rough spot with our PM. He was super unprofessional and I had to get the owner of Denali out to my home to survey the dumpster fire of my pool. After the owner and manager saw what was going on things quickly shifted. We got Danny as a PM and he was freaking fantastic. He turned the sour taste around. He was communicative and seriously Johnny on the spot. He was out at our property almost every day since he took over. If you are thinking about Denali pools request Danny for your PM.

Denali Pools built our pool and deck area in under 3 months. The project manager Hilario Torres was excellent. He communicated with us and provided information and guidance every step of the way. Even when Pegasus did not want to fix an issue with the UV system, Hilario came to the rescue and resolved the issue himself. We are extremely happy with our brand new house and pool. Thank you so much Denali Pools! We're ready for the Texas heat!

Denali pools did an excellent job of designing and building our custom swimming pool and spa, incorporating the new pool decking with our existing patio, and building a great water feature. Hilario Torres was our construction manager and was very easy to work with. He accommodated any changes we asked for during the build process and responded to text message in a very reasonable timeframe.

Denali Pools just completed our pool build in April of this year. The project was smooth and faster than expected, just under 3.5 months to finish. Jordan, our designer was patient and helpful with our ideas and designed just what we wanted. Nate was our construction manager and was responsive and professional throughout. We were expecting some bumps along the way, but were pleasantly surprised with the process and with the result.

I am so impressed with the professionalism that Jared and Henry showed on our dream backyard pool design and build. Jared was very patient through out with us and made multiple changes to our pool design on our request without any hesitation. Our backyard has 3 protected trees and he made the best pool possible fit in there and the design looked beautiful. Henry took over from Jared for the actual build and man this guy is fast and a master planner, there was not even a single day when the pool didn't make any progress, he had all his team lined up one after the other. Henry also worked with us on some last min. Changes without any hesitations.
I highly recommend Denali pool for their professionalism and customer centric approach. I was recommended by many Cody pools.but man I am so glad we went with Denali. I decided to do the backyard myself, hence only the pics of the pool. the whole pool was done in less than 2 months. keep up the good work!

Denali pools is a very competent pool builder. The entire process was smooth since design to final construction. I would shout out to Hilario our construction manager, that made a outstanding difference on construction phase, always communicating and very responsive for all requests and calls. Denali exceeded our expectations for this project delivering it with quality and on time.

We love our new pool. Worked with Keaton on the design and Nate was our super. We really made them jump through hoops but they were right there every step of the way. Even when things went sideways, Nate always stepped up and made it right. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to a friend or neighbor; which we did. Denali is building two new pools for two of our next door neighbors as I write this.

We called a couple pool companies before reaching out to Denali. We were LUCKY and BLESSED to have called and get connected with Keaton our sales professional, he was there with us from beginning to end never losing contact with us after the sale. When the day came for construction we hit the jackpot again! Gabriel was assigned as our project supervisor. From the first shovel to the last gallon of water he instilled a sense of reassurance and always answered all our questions.
When Gabriel tells you he's going to do something CONSIDER IT DONE! If you're considering "diving in" and building a pool call Denali and ask for Keaton. THEN let Keaton know you want Gabriel to be your pool's project manager.

I was very nervous to decide on who we would use for our backyard renovation. We interviewed about 5 companies and although we liked more than one, the obvious choice was Denali. Jordan was a great sales rep. He was very honest and did not oversell anything. He was careful about what he said and we appreciated the his approach to our vision. He worked with our budget and went out of his way to make sure we were happy before we signed. Gabriel was the Super who managed our project from start to finish.
I got to say that I have never been so impressed by someone's honesty and work ethic. Gabriel is on top of every single action item. Although it took a while to get out project completed, it was still by the deadline he told us. I also appreciated that there was something significant happening every week. There was barely any down time. Overall trust and honesty is what we wanted and that's what we got.

My review is all about our incredible Project Manager, Gabriel. His responsiveness, professionalism and expertise is stellar. Gabriel was able to maneuver around our specific situation (in a valley, wet soil), he executed quickly and seamlessly. I also want to mention his cross-functional collaboration relationships with the contractors and the ability to communicate our vision and hold them to nothing but excellence. We're so pleased with our pool and have gotten many compliments.

We absolutely love our pool built by Denali! Hilario Torres was the Project Manager and he was absolutely professional, efficient & responsive. He communicated with us constantly about the timelines of the different work crews (who were all equally professional) & oversaw the project, keeping us informed throughout the process. He even helped with some design questions that came up during the build. Thanks so much to him/ each crew for building our beautiful pool. We look forward to enjoying it!

Denali pools helped make my dreams come true. From design conception with Keaton, to pool completion with Gabriel, my project was a huge success. I interviewed many other pool companies before I decided to go with denali. This has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you Keaton and thank you Gabriel for everything you've done to make this a reality. Your knowledge, professionalism, and work ethic are superior.

Much like the rest of Austin, when the Covid lockdown started we decided to build a pool. This affected our price, and timeline, but there is no doubt any pool company would have been comparable price wise and I know for certain that people started building before I did and are still waiting to swim (my brother, haha). Obviously we had to do much more zoom, text and email communications than we would have had there not been a worldwide pandemic. Truly, that was the worst part about the job. Again, not Denali's fault at all. It's very difficult to pick out tile, plaster etc without actually seeing samples.
With all of that said, I am extraordinarily happy with my pool. It is everything I wanted. Henry and Eliza both get kudos for helping me build the non-standard /retro pool that fits my house style perfectly. All of the subcontractors they used were top notch and I even got some of their numbers for other projects I may want to do later.

Comes across as a top-of-range pool company with higher prices that assume quality. Delivers late ("because we have too many other jobs on right now to complete on schedule"). Leaves the job 'complete' without finishing the things that were on the quotation. Poor quality exposed pipes. Bad communication. Rebar (iron sharp objects) left on site. We are now getting quotes from other suppliers to finish the project.

We met with 5 other pool companies, but chose Denali and so happy we did! Everything went as planned. timing, quality, workmanship, knowledge and expertise were all A+ for us. When customer service seems to be lacking these days, Chris and Henry were top-notch! You can ask Henry anything about pools and he confidently knows the answer. They both went above and beyond for us and it did not go unnoticed. We have already referred several friends to Denali. Keep up the great work. It is much appreciated.

When we were looking to build our pool, we had two companies as finalist from the list we talked to. We went with Denali because of our interactions with Ryan, our sales guy. He was great to work on the design and picking the materials. He explained all the steps and everything we needed to do to get our pool done. He especially helped with getting what we needed for our HOA. The main reason for my 5 star rating though is because of Gabriel.
He was in charge of the build from start to finish. He was excellent in his communication. He responded every time in a timely manner and answered our many questions. He came on site often and came when we asked him to go over the answers to our questions in detail. He was great at following up with us. He coordinated all the different groups of workers well and got them on site when needed. From the first day of the dig to when we were filling up the pool with water was less than two months! Gabriel handled everything and he made the entire pool building process smooth and stress free. We couldn't have asked for better service or a better experience with a company because of him. Hopefully you can request him for your pool build!

Our whole experience building a pool with Denali was great from start to finish! We got several bids from the most reputable pool companies in Austin, but I felt like Mitch really listened to us and nailed the design. He worked closely with us to make sure that we got the most out of the budget that we had. Construction projects tend to be stressful, but our experience with Denali was pretty close to perfect. Gabriel, our super, was absolutely fantastic.
He was always polite and communicated with us and the vendors very effectively. I felt like we were well informed and knew exactly what was going to take place and when. Additionally, after the pool was completed, I contacted Gabe on a couple of occasions with some questions and he always contacted me back very promptly (even during a holiday!) and came out to help. We've had our pool for 3 years now and have never had any issues. This is a great company that stands behind the quality of their work and for that they get my highest recommendation. I would definitely work with them again!

After multiple calls and no responses I have to wonder if these guys are doing so well that they can just brush off 80-100k per person looking to build a pool. Must be nice.

Very disappointed. Scheduled appointment, confirmed with Jason. Emailed design ideas and current property survey. He arrived at appointment, did not open his bag, no measure, no photos, said he would check on some power line restrictions.never heard back from him. No follow up communication. As a real estate broker, clients often asking for recommendations, Denali would be on my "bad experience" list

I have known the owner for over 5 years. He loves what he does and is great at it. If I were looking for someone to put a lot of creativity and great workmanship into a backyard oasis for me I would use Denali for sure!!

I really enjoyed working with Gabriel Jimenez, the superintendent on our pool job. He was straight forward and responsive. He did a really nice job of managing the construction, which was complicated. I can recommend Denali overall and am very happy with the result!
