It was promised to be done in 6 weeks and it was completed in 9 months. When completed the decking began to develop cracks within two weeks of completion. Cody Pools subcontractors came out and cosmetically covered up the cracks with more cool deck paint. To date we have 62 cracks on the deck. The gunite cracked twice and required the pool to be drained and re-plastered. It leaked and is still leaking. This was independently verified by a pool leak detection company. The over flow float value has stuck on multiple occasions and we can no longer leave it pressurized otherwise water just keeps running. When they did the construction every wall was crooked. The stairs were 2.5 inches on one side and 5 inches on the other. It was a joke. I went to arbitration as directed in the contract and the mediator had found our claims were justified but Cody's President objected and decided to submit there own findings. The President found a buddy of his who had a Professional Engineering license (This guy was a land surveyor with an arrest record for lying to the authorities and providing false names. He was no concrete expert but wrote a letter acting as if he knew something). The concrete deck on my pool is only 3.25 inches thick and does not meet industry standards nor does it meet the American Society of Pool standards which is 5". Cody Pools did not install any footings to keep the pool from shifting. The rim of the pool has no expansion joints thus each time the pools shifts the rim cracks. There are only a few expansion joints and they do not meet the minimum standards. I have a recording of the President of Cody Pools stating that his decking standards are 3" inches deep and that concrete cracks. Concrete may crack but that is what expansion joints are for. The documentation that was provided by Cody Pools President and was included as part of his respoinse to the objection states decking must be 5" thick. The mediator who was working for the BBB did a 180 degree turn around when the mediator learned the President of Cody Pools is a Director of the BBB and has been so for a long time. We were never told that the President of Cody Pools was a Director of the BBB otherwise we would have mediated elsewhere.We did not learn of this until after the 180 degree turn around on the decision by the mediator. What a perfect storm. A person who can have influence on his competition by finding faults with other pool builders and then capitalize because he can keep his ratng at the BBB artificially elevated. I would recommend to anyone building a pool make sure the company has it's own crews, (Cody Pools does not. They said they did. They had subcontracted everything out) make sure the pool builder is an authorized service provider for the equipment they are installing. (Cody Pool is not an authorize service provider for Pentaire the brand of pumps they install. I went to the Pentaire website to find someone to do a warranty repair and Cody Pools is not an authorized Pentaire service provider) and I would recommend the consumer try to remove the binding arbitration clause in their contracts.This really limits the consumers ability to make the Pool Builder build with quality. I may not of received anything but additional warranty time which was part of the solution by the mediator but I have successfully shown the quality of work done by Cody Pools to others which has caused them to to go to another pool builder even at a slightly higher price and I have been thanked by all of them. I have pictures,back ground investigations and recordings and can arrange a tour to prospective pool customers who are thinking of using Cody Pools as their builder. Think again or you will regret it shortly after your dream of owning a pool becomes a nightmare. Cody Pools knows that most people will only have to install a pool once it is not like you can throw it away and add another one so pleasing you is not on their list.

Gulf Stream Pools was very responsive and easy to deal with. We live in the San Antonio area and they are based in the Houston area, so we were able to submit measurements and pictures of our pool to get the net made, and they only had to make one trip out to install it. They were quick to...

"Advertised as fast and lower costs. Initially, I thought so but the price ended up being comparable to other professional pool service quotes. Response time was fast and serviceman friendly and approachable. Unable to fix the pool light for quoted cost, spa light was done under cost but no receipt for part or manual provided even when asked for. (Might have been an on hand part from a previous order or job). Felt more like a friendly neighbor helping out instead of a pool business. Pool cleaning service was quoted and then said to far to come weekly. Nice guy, fair job - get what you pay for."

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Castroville, TX
The average cost of an above-ground pool is between $1,100 and $5,700. Costs will vary depending on the type of pool you install. The low end of the price range includes a DIY kit for around $800 and goes up to about $15,000 for a custom pool with extra features like a deck and water features. Building an above-ground pool is much faster than installing an inground one. The cost tends to be much lower for an above-ground pool than for an inground pool because there’s less labor involved, especially when it comes to excavation and running plumbing and electrical lines.
Installing an inground pool costs around $55,000, on average. The typical price range is between $39,000 and $70,000, depending on the size and type of pool and accessibility of the site. This project requires an experienced pool installation contractor as the project usually involves extensive excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and careful grading of the concrete or pavers around the pool.
Adding a spa to a pool is worth it if you use it enough. Adding a built-in spa to an inground pool can cost between $15,000 and $20,000, on top of installing the pool. A separate hot tub costs between $5,000 and $8,000. These prices will vary depending on the hot tub's size, type, and features. Additional costs include maintenance, electricity, and plumbing.
From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from two to four months. Factors that impact time to completion include any weather delays, material delays or shortages, scheduling conflicts, and any unforeseen challenges. The project may take most of the pool season, depending on where you live. Because of this, it’s a good idea to start getting estimates and finding a qualified pool company at least a year before your anticipated installation. Spring and summer is the busy season for pool contractors, which impacts their availability as projects are typically booked for several weeks if not months.
