Wet Pools are simply awesome. They built a beautiful pool for us in our old house about 8 years ago, and recently built a second and more beautiful pool for us in our new home. Doug did a great job starting from designing the pool realtime with us while sitting in their office, and giving us ideas/options that met our requirements, all the way through managing the construction of the pool so efficiently, which led to finishing the pool in 7 weeks, when a lot of our other neighbors who used other pool builders, were taking more like 8-10 weeks to complete their pools.

I am a very picky person by nature of my profession, and Doug was very patient with me and answered all my questions in a timely manner, and helped me stay the course and avoid any unnecessary changes to the design that could have led to additional cost. Needless to say, their cost was very competitive compared to the two other builders I received estimates from. I would definitely recommend Wet Pools to anyone who wants to build a new pool with a reasonable cost and a high quality final product.

I have been searching someone to help with clogged pool lines for two weeks and other companies either did not want to take the job or did not show up. I called Wet Pools and they were able to come to my house the next day to service my pool while I was at work. By the time I got home, problem solved. So I'm very happy with results and the customer service was so nice to work with. I will be using this pool company for future needs. Thank you!

All pools take time, duration for the finished product & enduring messes. Our finished product is a dream come true! Even some of the unknown mistakes were to our advantage. We were not charged more than the final quote and ended up with a superior pool from the ground up. As things evolved we were continued to be asked what options would could take. Several options that made our pool stronger, with better amenities, including some of my own art tiles into the upper border rim. We have water falls that we didn't order, but not charged for because the plumbers made the mistake. It is truly everything we wanted & more. Integrity really matters to this company!

Wet Pools is an excellent pool company. They were patient with our design changes, very responsive and extremely efficient during construction. We had our pool done within 8 weeks and Doug and his team was with us every step of the way. Now our neighbor is also working with Wet Pools and their pool is going just as well.

Wet Pools Inc has been responsible for maintaining the pool at my home via management company. I am thrilled, and grateful, that Frank L. at Wet Pools Inc has proven to be prideful in his work, knowledgeable and a complete professional all around. Frank has also taken time to walk me through different ways to keep the pool in optimal condition between cleanings which is certainly helpful. If you need a top notch pool maintenance company with great staff, I'd highly recommend Frank at Wet Pools Inc, Katy TX.

I NEVER write reviews but Wet Pools deserve this. "Good job guys! It took me many months of investigating a failing spa jet issue. Had Home Warranty out to check the equipment as well as several conversations with Leslie's Pool service techs before someone suggested getting a Pool builder out to check the underwater lines. Still can't believe it was such a hassle to identify someone who could help.and it only took your tech a few minutes. Will be staying in touch with Wet Pools. Friendly. Professional. Efficient."

I can't say enough good about Wet Pools owners and their support staff. We started our project 2 weeks before the Covid-19 outbreak but that didn't stop Wet Pools one bit. They kept every milestone and finished the project on time & on budget. The pool is everything we had expected and more. Doug and Colleen worked tirelessly with us, not as a pool contractor, but more like really good friends. I would recommend Wet Pools to everyone in the Katy area above all other pool and spa providers.
