Chris and Watermark Pool Pros are some of the best contractors we have ever worked with across any project! We needed our over 30 year old pool remodeled. We got multiple quotes, and Watermark wasn't the cheapest, but I felt very confident in Chris after we met. I was so glad we decided to work with Watermark! The project was completed on time (even a little early), on budget, and beautifully done.
I ask a lot of questions and Chris never seemed annoyed with me or brushed me off. He even kindly responded to questions recently, months after our project was completed. He genuinely cares about his work, customers, and even his workers, which was important to us. And when there were small snags in the process, Chris was on top of it and ensured that everything continued to go smoothly. We were having some issues with our attached spa that couldn't be fully understood until we got into the project.
Unfortunately it ended up being major - but the team came up with a solution that saved us having to demo and rebuild it, saving us 10k or more. Overall we are happy with our experience, and our pool!

Our recently remodeled pool deck tiles were already cracking and the mastic shrinking between the coping and the deck. I was having difficulty finding somebody even to look at the issues until Chris and his team came over and took on the job. They reseated and regrouted the tiles, as well as replaced all of the mastic around the pool with a superior product. The pool deck looks better than I've ever seen it. Needless to say, I wish I was aware of them earlier so they could have done the remodel originally.

I really can't say enough good things about Chris and the team. They are honest, attentive and did an amazing job. I was thoroughly impressed at the way the different crews executed their respective portions and how clean they kept our yard when they were doing a very messy project. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend Watermark Pros if you need to clean calcium deposits on your pool tile. They were very flexible on scheduling, and the crew did an amazing job. Our tile looks like it was just installed. Plus they put a sealer on and shared tips on how to keep calcium deposits from building up. A big thanks to Chris and team!

If you are looking for help with your pool remodel/update, I highly recommend getting a bid from Chris at Watermark Pros. He is an incredible communicator and team leader, his crews are outstanding and responsible, and the final job--from new coping, tile, and plaster with professional start-up--will be first class in every way. We have had an amazing experience throughout the entire process. Chris will be fair with pricing and completely transparent regarding scheduling the various components of the job. Everyone we worked with at Watermark Pros takes pride in making your pool shine like new. The transformation will be a revelation; you will actually love your pool again!

We hired Watermark Pros to remove extreme calcium build up from the stone and tile of our pool and spa. We had tried many things ourselves to remove the unsightly stains and nothing worked. We are beyond pleased with results of the work done by Watermark Pros! In addition to the work, we received top notch, professional service. We were provided a written quote of the price, scheduling was easy, the crew showed up promptly, and cleaned up after the work was performed. Highly recommend this company!

Watermark Pros just completed my total resurfacing of my pool including all new coping, tile and pebble tech bottom. Mario is a stone expert. His skills are unbelievable! Wow! Watching the project from start to finish was amazing. The resurfacing guys were amazing and the finished pebble tech was sculpted to perfection! Chris the owner was so great to work with. He was not only available every time I called and asked a question, he was at the job site the entire resurfacing of pebble tech as well as checking on the other processes almost daily throughout the entire job. Thanks Chris for all your hard work. You and your team ROCK! Donna

Chris and the team at Watermark Pros just completed an epic (WetEdge LunaQuartz Bermuda) re-plaster on my pool. Due to some surprise issues with my pool shell (original pool builder's fault), we had a more complicated/lengthy journey than originally expected, but Chris was always there to guide me through it, answer my (many many) questions, and make sure the job was done right. His prices are fair and he's much more buttoned up and reliable than the competitors I spoke with.
His crew is top notch, and Mario (as Chris will probably tell you) is truly an artist who goes above and beyond with the details. Be patient, and remember that if you're getting your pool plastered in the Spring, you're competing with a ton of other folks for the time of your contractor, plaster trucks, "special repair experts", etc. If it rains alot, things can get backed up quick. Having an experienced, hands on owner like Chris on your side is worth alot in such situations. Now, I'm gonna go enjoy my newly re-opened pool - Thanks Chris.

I called these guys after searching the web and seeing thier good reviews here on Yelp. I was not disappointed. They did a great job cleaning up my tile, water fall stone work and restoring the mastic. If you want your pool's tile to look like new again give them a call!

Yelp, I need more stars for this amazing company. I purchased my home in 2010 and it had these weird stains on the spa, above the water line. Add nine more years of hard water and I was at my wit's end. As one does, I took to YouTube for home remedies. I tried them all, and they all failed. In sad desperation, I contacted my "pool therapist" Nathan at Patriot Pools (also five stars) and he recommended Watermark Pros. Chris, the owner, came over and admittedly looked a little nervous when he saw my scale buildup and the weird stuff on the spa.
A couple of days later I had a quote that seemed very fair. Fast forward to today and the crew arrived promptly and got to work. Miracle of miracles my pool looks new, as I imagined it did in 2004 when it was installed, and the tile has been sealed which should slow down the ongoing revenge of our hard water. Chris and his team are beyond excellent. My tip if you are doing this in the winter is warm up the pool, even in waders this is not a fun experience when the water is 60 degrees. I wish I had thought of that. As other reviewers have said, worth every single cent and I wish I had done it sooner.

Excellent experience from start to finish. What we thought was going to be a daunting and stressful process, ended up to be completely easy, and actually enjoyable! Chris made sure that we were aware of the schedule and the work being done. He was onsite to monitor everything. His crew was wonderful! Mario is a rockstar! Neighbors have inquired about the work being done, and I have recommended Watermark Pros to them. I'll miss seeing them in the backyard.

Excellent, professional, efficient. The crew restored our 5 yr old glass pool tiles back to new. The white build-up is gone. Much needed service was an investment, but we couldn't get the deposits off ourselves so these pros handled it in just a few hours. I should've hired them 2 years ago. If you're thinking about hiring Watermark, just do it.

The folks at Watermark Pros did a great job on our replaster. Our pool was in pretty bad shape and they did a great job of prep, replastering, and support after. They also cleaned our tile so they look like new and reset some stones that were loose around our spa at a reasonable price. Pool looks like new!

We hired Chris and his crew to plaster our pool and change the coping stone. We could not be happier! Chris is very friendly, caring and personal. He takes pride in his projects. Always on time and prompt to answer any questions you have. He came to meet us several times during this project to help us understand the process. He also helped us on picking colors of tiles, coping stones, etc His crew were very professional and punctual. The pool looks amazing now! The price is great! Thank you Chris. We will certainly call you again in the future for our pool projects.

When my son dropped a beer can into a PVC pipe in our pool overflow tank I had a panic attack because I was hosting a pool party in a few days. I called Ryan and let him know my situation and he saved the day by getting someone over right away! I can't thank Ryan and his crew enough. And.the repair was much less than I expected so that was a double bonus!

When I moved to Austin in May 2014, the pool at my house needed a lot of repair and renovation. Watermark Pros were recommended for the tile and stone cleaning around the pool. They also "biocleaned" the coping stones we weren't replacing, and then sealed everything once the replaster and repairs were finished. Chris and his team did a terrific job, making sure first that the bioclean would work, and then finishing the job as soon as the replaster was done so that the stone cleaning could be preserved. Chris was quick to respond to my emails, answered all of my questions thoroughly and coordinated with the replaster and pool maintenance companies to ensure that everything was seamless. This went a long way toward reassuring me about the job. I am happy to recommend them without reservation!
