Our Pool Services in Irving, TX
Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction
Gunite pool construction is how you get a pool in the exact shape your yard wants, instead of a shape somebody in a factory picked out a decade ago. Concrete gets shot through a hose against a tied steel cage, so the finished shell is monolithic: no panels, no seams, nowhere for water to find a way out.
Fiberglass Pool Installation
Fiberglass pool installation is the fast lane: a shell molded at a factory, trucked in, and set with a crane, so a straightforward job goes from bare dirt to swimming in two or three weeks. If your calendar is the constraint rather than your imagination, that's a strong argument and we'll make it for you.
Vinyl Liner Pools & Liner Replacement
Vinyl liner replacement is a two to four day job, and if your pattern has faded to a flat pale wash or the waterline material cracks when you press a thumbnail into it, you're already due. Vinyl liner pools are a small minority in Irving, which means most owners of one have a hard time finding a company that still stocks the parts.
Pool Remodeling & Renovation
Pool remodeling is for the jobs that change the shape of the thing rather than just the color: an attached spa with a spillover, a tanning ledge cut into the shallow end, a deep end filled in because 1978 believed in diving boards. South Irving is full of pools poured in the 1970s that are structurally sound and stylistically frozen, and that's exactly the pool this page is about.
Pool Resurfacing & Replastering
Pool resurfacing is due when the floor stops feeling smooth and starts feeling like a driveway, and somebody climbs out of the shallow end with a scraped toe. That's the cream coat gone and the plaster body exposed to the water, and Irving's hard fill water isn't gentle with what happens next.
Waterline Tile & Coping
Waterline tile is six inches of material that has to survive sunscreen, body oil, calcium, UV and a hard freeze every couple of Januaries, while being the first thing every visitor's eye lands on. It's also the cheapest place in the entire project to make a pool look expensive, which is why we spend more time on it than the line item suggests.
Pool Decking & Hardscape
Pool decking is where new pool budgets quietly go to die, and it's also where you'll feel the difference every single day you use the thing. Standard broom-finished gray concrete will read around 140 degrees on an Irving afternoon in July, which is why everybody hops from the back door to the water like the patio owes them money.
Spa & Hot Tub Installation
A spa is the part of the build you'll actually use in December. Irving gets roughly four months where the pool is genuinely inviting on its own, and a heated spa turns a good chunk of the other eight into a reason to walk outside on a Wednesday night in a dressing gown.
Water Features & Waterfalls
People buy water features for the way they look and keep them for the way they sound. A sheer descent running into the pool covers a surprising amount of State Highway 114 in the background, and if you live anywhere near the DFW Airport approach you'll appreciate that considerably more than the photographs suggest.
Pool Lighting & LED Retrofits
Pool light replacement takes an afternoon and changes how the whole backyard reads after dark more than anything else you can spend the same money on. If your pool still runs a 500-watt incandescent, you own a device that costs real money to operate, eats bulbs every couple of seasons, and makes the water look faintly yellow, like a hotel corridor.
Pool Automation & Controls
Pool automation is a controller on the equipment pad that runs the pumps, valves, heater, lights and water features on a schedule and puts all of it on your phone. It's the upgrade nobody puts on their wish list and nobody gives up once they have it.
Pool Heaters & Heat Pumps
A pool heater is the difference between a pool you use from June to August and one you use from March to November. On a new build it's the cheapest big upgrade to include, because the pad is already open and the gas line is still a trench rather than a driveway you'd have to cut.
Variable-Speed Pumps & Filtration
A variable-speed pool pump is the one equipment decision that keeps saving you money for the next fifteen years, which is why it's the first thing we specify on a new build. An old single-speed motor spins at 3,450 RPM every second it runs, whether the pool needs that or not, while a variable-speed unit achieves the same daily turnover at 1,200 to 1,800 RPM.
Saltwater Chlorination Systems
A saltwater pool is a chlorine pool, and clearing that up first saves everybody a conversation. The salt cell runs a low current through dissolved salt and produces chlorine on site, continuously, at a steady low level, so what you're actually buying is the end of hauling jugs of liquid chlorine home in the trunk of your car every fortnight.
Pool Leak Detection & Repair
Pool leak detection starts with a bucket and 24 hours, and that part you can do yourself for nothing. In an Irving July a pool gives up about a quarter inch a day to evaporation and that's simply the climate, but half an inch a day is a leak and worth chasing quickly.
Weekly Pool Cleaning & Maintenance
Weekly pool cleaning isn't difficult, it's just weekly, forever, and a North Texas summer is where the weekly part goes wrong. Water at 90 degrees burns through free chlorine in about a day, our fill water arrives loaded with calcium, and one good thunderstorm off the Elm Fork will drop enough leaf litter and phosphate into a clear pool to have it green by Thursday.
Commercial Pool Construction & Service
Commercial pool construction and service solves a completely different problem to a backyard pool, and Las Colinas has a density of hotels, corporate campuses and multifamily communities that's unusual even for the Metroplex. Nobody staying at a conference hotel off State Highway 114 cares whether the tile is glass mosaic.
Pool Safety Fencing & Covers
A removable mesh pool safety fence stands four feet tall, gives a determined three-year-old no handholds or footholds, and comes out in about twenty minutes when you want the yard back for a party. For most Irving backyards it's the right first layer, and it's the single thing on this whole site we'd most like you to buy.
Pool Demolition & Removal
Pool removal is sometimes the correct professional advice, and we'll do that job without spending an hour trying to sell you a remodel you didn't ask about. An inherited shell that has been green since you moved in, a rental where the liability outweighs the rent, a homeowner who would rather have a lawn and a workshop than a maintenance schedule: those are all good reasons and we've heard every one of them.

Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction
Gunite pool construction is how you get a pool in the exact shape your yard wants, instead of a shape somebody in a factory picked out a decade ago. Concrete gets shot through a hose against a tied steel cage, so the finished shell is monolithic: no panels, no seams, nowhere for water to find a way out. Dry-mix gunite and wet-mix shotcrete both do that.
- gunite pool construction
- shotcrete pool shell
- new inground pool builder
- custom pool design and 3D rendering
- geometric and freeform pool shapes
- tanning ledge, Baja shelf and sun deck
- vanishing edge and perimeter overflow pools
- small yard and courtyard pools

- pool engineering for expansive clay soil
- Irving permits and pool inspections
- pool construction timeline and phases
Fiberglass Pool Installation
Fiberglass pool installation is the fast lane: a shell molded at a factory, trucked in, and set with a crane, so a straightforward job goes from bare dirt to swimming in two or three weeks. If your calendar is the constraint rather than your imagination, that's a strong argument and we'll make it for you. The gelcoat surface is non-porous and slick, so algae can't get a grip.
- fiberglass pool installation
- one-piece fiberglass pool shells
- fiberglass pools for small and narrow yards
- fiberglass pool with built-in spa
- gelcoat repair and fiberglass resurfacing
- crane set fiberglass shell
- fiberglass pool cost
- saltwater compatible fiberglass pools
- fiberglass pool coping and decking
- fiberglass versus gunite
Vinyl Liner Pools & Liner Replacement
Vinyl liner replacement is a two to four day job, and if your pattern has faded to a flat pale wash or the waterline material cracks when you press a thumbnail into it, you're already due. Vinyl liner pools are a small minority in Irving, which means most owners of one have a hard time finding a company that still stocks the parts. We keep them.
- vinyl liner pool installation
- swimming pool liner replacement
- 20 mil and 27 mil vinyl liners
- polymer and steel wall panel pools
- vermiculite pool floor
- liner leak patching and seam repair
- liner patterns and tile-print borders
- custom liners for freeform shapes

- liner track, coping and gasket replacement
Pool Remodeling & Renovation
Pool remodeling is for the jobs that change the shape of the thing rather than just the color: an attached spa with a spillover, a tanning ledge cut into the shallow end, a deep end filled in because 1978 believed in diving boards. South Irving is full of pools poured in the 1970s that are structurally sound and stylistically frozen, and that's exactly the pool this page is about. The rest of the list is the same idea.
- swimming pool remodeling
- pool renovation and modernization
- adding a spa to an existing pool
- tanning ledge and sun shelf addition
- pool reshaping and expansion
- converting a diving pool to a sport pool
- raised bond beam and feature wall
- backyard and pool redesign
- equipment pad relocation and rebuild
- pool remodel permits and HOA approval
Pool Resurfacing & Replastering
Pool resurfacing is due when the floor stops feeling smooth and starts feeling like a driveway, and somebody climbs out of the shallow end with a scraped toe. That's the cream coat gone and the plaster body exposed to the water, and Irving's hard fill water isn't gentle with what happens next. From there it accelerates.
- pool resurfacing
- pool replastering contractor
- PebbleTec and pebble interiors
- polished quartz pool finish
- white plaster and marcite
- glass bead pool interior
- chip out, patch and bond coat
- calcium scale, etching and stain removal

- 28-day plaster startup and brushing
Waterline Tile & Coping
Waterline tile is six inches of material that has to survive sunscreen, body oil, calcium, UV and a hard freeze every couple of Januaries, while being the first thing every visitor's eye lands on.
It's also the cheapest place in the entire project to make a pool look expensive, which is why we spend more time on it than the line item suggests. When tiles start letting go one or two at a time, the tile is almost never the actual fault.
- waterline tile replacement
- glass mosaic pool tile
- large format porcelain pool tile
- travertine pool coping
- cantilevered concrete coping
- precast bullnose coping
- calcium scale removal and bead blasting
- loose and popping tile repair
- step markers and depth markers
- expansion joint and mastic replacement
Pool Decking & Hardscape
Pool decking is where new pool budgets quietly go to die, and it's also where you'll feel the difference every single day you use the thing. Standard broom-finished gray concrete will read around 140 degrees on an Irving afternoon in July, which is why everybody hops from the back door to the water like the patio owes them money.
Travertine runs 20 to 30 degrees cooler because the stone is pale and porous, and it's the single design decision most of our clients say they would make again without thinking about it.
- pool deck installation and resurfacing
- cool deck spray texture
- travertine pool decks
- paver pool decking
- stamped and stained concrete
- pool deck coatings
- outdoor kitchens, pergolas and fire pits
- seat walls and retaining walls
- pool deck drainage and grading
- settled and cracked deck repair
- deck expansion joints
Spa & Hot Tub Installation
A spa is the part of the build you'll actually use in December. Irving gets roughly four months where the pool is genuinely inviting on its own, and a heated spa turns a good chunk of the other eight into a reason to walk outside on a Wednesday night in a dressing gown. On a new build we design the spa into the shell from the start, which is always cheaper and always looks better than bolting one on later.
- attached gunite spa construction
- spa spillover and raised spa wall
- adding a spa to an existing pool
- standalone hot tub installation
- therapy jets, blowers and seating layout
- dedicated spa heater and pump
- spa resurfacing, tile and reseal
- swim spa installation
- spa automation and remote heating
- spa pad, wiring and access planning
Water Features & Waterfalls
People buy water features for the way they look and keep them for the way they sound. A sheer descent running into the pool covers a surprising amount of State Highway 114 in the background, and if you live anywhere near the DFW Airport approach you'll appreciate that considerably more than the photographs suggest. The range runs from subtle to theatrical.
- pool waterfall construction
- sheer descent and rain curtain
- natural stone and boulder waterfalls
- scuppers and spillways
- bubblers and deck jets
- grottos and pool slides
- laminar jets with LED
- vanishing edge and perimeter overflow design
- water feature plumbing and pump sizing
- water feature repair and resealing
Pool Lighting & LED Retrofits
Pool light replacement takes an afternoon and changes how the whole backyard reads after dark more than anything else you can spend the same money on.
If your pool still runs a 500-watt incandescent, you own a device that costs real money to operate, eats bulbs every couple of seasons, and makes the water look faintly yellow, like a hotel corridor. A modern LED does more usable light on roughly 40 watts, lasts something like 30,000 hours, and will do color if you want it.
- pool light replacement
- LED pool light retrofit
- color changing LED pool and spa lights
- nicheless LED lights
- fiber optic to LED conversion
- 12-volt low voltage lighting
- deck, tree and landscape lighting
- GFCI protection and equipotential bonding
- wet niche and conduit repair
- waterlogged pool light replacement
Pool Automation & Controls
Pool automation is a controller on the equipment pad that runs the pumps, valves, heater, lights and water features on a schedule and puts all of it on your phone. It's the upgrade nobody puts on their wish list and nobody gives up once they have it. In practice it looks like this.
- pool automation installation
- Pentair, Hayward and Jandy controllers
- pool control app and smart home integration
- automated chemical dosing
- ORP and pH sensors with acid and chlorine feeders
- valve actuators and heat modes
- pump, heater, light and feature scheduling
- remote spa heat-up
- automation retrofit on existing equipment pads
- freeze protection control
Pool Heaters & Heat Pumps
A pool heater is the difference between a pool you use from June to August and one you use from March to November. On a new build it's the cheapest big upgrade to include, because the pad is already open and the gas line is still a trench rather than a driveway you'd have to cut. Two technologies with genuinely different personalities.
- pool heater installation
- natural gas and propane pool heaters
- electric pool heat pumps
- pool heater repair and diagnostics
- heater sizing for pool volume
- spa heater replacement
- solar pool heating
- gas line sizing and heater venting
- heat pump versus gas operating cost
- heat exchanger scaling and corrosion
Variable-Speed Pumps & Filtration
A variable-speed pool pump is the one equipment decision that keeps saving you money for the next fifteen years, which is why it's the first thing we specify on a new build.
An old single-speed motor spins at 3,450 RPM every second it runs, whether the pool needs that or not, while a variable-speed unit achieves the same daily turnover at 1,200 to 1,800 RPM. Power draw scales with roughly the cube of speed, so running at half speed for twice as long uses dramatically less electricity for the same clean water.
- variable-speed pool pump installation
- pool pump repair and replacement
- cartridge filters
- DE filter grids and service
- sand filter media replacement
- filter cleaning and backwashing
- motor bearings, shaft seals and impellers
- equipment pad and plumbing rebuild
- energy efficient pool equipment
- loud pump and loss of prime
- booster pumps for pressure side cleaners
Saltwater Chlorination Systems
A saltwater pool is a chlorine pool, and clearing that up first saves everybody a conversation. The salt cell runs a low current through dissolved salt and produces chlorine on site, continuously, at a steady low level, so what you're actually buying is the end of hauling jugs of liquid chlorine home in the trunk of your car every fortnight.
The water sits around 3,200 ppm, roughly a tenth of seawater and about the salinity of a tear, which is why it feels soft rather than briny and why nobody comes out of it smelling like a public public pool.
- salt chlorine generator installation
- salt cell replacement
- chlorine to salt pool conversion
- salt system repair and troubleshooting
- salt cell descaling and acid washing
- salt level testing and dosing
- stainless and corrosion resistant hardware
- saltwater pool maintenance
- salt system sizing and output
- salt versus traditional chlorine cost
Pool Leak Detection & Repair
Pool leak detection starts with a bucket and 24 hours, and that part you can do yourself for nothing. In an Irving July a pool gives up about a quarter inch a day to evaporation and that's simply the climate, but half an inch a day is a leak and worth chasing quickly. The water bill is the least of it.
- pool leak detection
- underground plumbing leak repair
- pressure testing suction and return lines
- skimmer throat and return leak repair
- shell crack and structural leak repair
- light niche and conduit leaks
- dye testing and hydrophone location
- spa and water feature leaks
- leak repair without deck demolition
- pool losing an inch a day
Weekly Pool Cleaning & Maintenance
Weekly pool cleaning isn't difficult, it's just weekly, forever, and a North Texas summer is where the weekly part goes wrong. Water at 90 degrees burns through free chlorine in about a day, our fill water arrives loaded with calcium, and one good thunderstorm off the Elm Fork will drop enough leaf litter and phosphate into a clear pool to have it green by Thursday. Our service visit covers the whole list.
- weekly pool cleaning service
- water testing and chemical balancing
- green pool cleanup and algae removal
- filter cleaning and backwash service
- skimmer and pump basket emptying
- brushing, netting, vacuuming and tile line
- salt cell inspection
- pool startup and winterization

- rental and corporate property pool service
- monthly maintenance plans
Commercial Pool Construction & Service
Commercial pool construction and service solves a completely different problem to a backyard pool, and Las Colinas has a density of hotels, corporate campuses and multifamily communities that's unusual even for the Metroplex. Nobody staying at a conference hotel off State Highway 114 cares whether the tile is glass mosaic. They care that the pool is open, and the property cares that it passes inspection and that nothing happens that ends up with lawyers involved.
- commercial pool construction
- hotel and conference center pools
- apartment and condominium community pools

- Texas commercial pool code compliance
- health department inspection readiness
- ADA pool lifts and accessible entry

Pool Safety Fencing & Covers
A removable mesh pool safety fence stands four feet tall, gives a determined three-year-old no handholds or footholds, and comes out in about twenty minutes when you want the yard back for a party. For most Irving backyards it's the right first layer, and it's the single thing on this whole site we'd most like you to buy. This is the least interesting page we've written and the one we'd genuinely rather you read than the one about waterfalls.
- removable mesh pool safety fencing
- mesh safety cover installation
- automatic pool covers
- Texas pool barrier requirements
- self-closing and self-latching gates
- pool and door alarms
- winter safety cover replacement

Pool Demolition & Removal
Pool removal is sometimes the correct professional advice, and we'll do that job without spending an hour trying to sell you a remodel you didn't ask about.
An inherited shell that has been green since you moved in, a rental where the liability outweighs the rent, a homeowner who would rather have a lawn and a workshop than a maintenance schedule: those are all good reasons and we've heard every one of them. There are two ways to do it and the difference genuinely matters at resale.
- swimming pool removal
- pool demolition and backfill
- partial pool removal
- full pool excavation and haul away
- engineered fill and compaction testing
- demolition permits and inspections
- abandoned and derelict pool remediation
- yard restoration after pool removal

- post-removal grading and drainage
What Irving property owners ask us
Which pool services does Irving Pool Builders handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Irving and the Las Colinas and mid-cities area. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling pool work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Irving Customers Say
Two builders told us our side yard was too tight and quoted us like it was a favor. These guys measured it, said they would run the hose from the street and take spoil out by conveyor, and put the extra cost in the quote instead of springing it on us later. Pool has been in two years.
They put the HOA packet together for us, which I did not know was a thing anybody did. Approved first submission. The 3D design was accurate enough that the finished pool looks like the picture, which apparently is not normal.
Old pool from the seventies, awful plaster, tile falling off. They explained the tile was coming off because the expansion joint had failed, fixed that first, then retiled and did a quartz finish. Nobody else who quoted even mentioned the joint.
Variable-speed pump and a new cartridge filter. The pad is quiet now, which I did not expect, and the summer electric bill dropped enough to notice. They also did not try to sell me a heater I said I did not want.
Full build with a spa and a raised wall. Eleven weeks, and the one week it slipped they called before I had to. The tanning ledge with bubblers has been the best money we spent on the whole project.
