Killeen Pool Builders Blog

Every post here answers a question Killeen property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Killeen, TX and Bell and Coryell counties, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:

• Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction in Killeen — Gunite pool construction gets you whatever shape you draw rather than whatever shape came out of a mold, and around Killeen the shape is the easy part. The hard part is what's under your grass, because most Bell and Coryell county lots sit on shallow Edwards limestone and caliche, and rock is the single biggest swing in a Central Texas pool price.
• Fiberglass Pool Installation in Killeen — Fiberglass pool installation trades shape for speed: the shell is built in a factory, arrives on a truck, gets craned into the hole, and a clean job goes from bare dirt to swimming in two to three weeks. On Killeen's rockier lots it's often the cheaper route as well, because a one-piece shell needs a smaller and more forgiving excavation than a gunite pool with its plumbing trenches and equipment runs, so when we hit limestone the hammer time is shorter and the bill is smaller.
• Vinyl Liner Pools & Liner Replacement in Killeen — Vinyl liner replacement takes two to four days and costs a fraction of replastering a gunite pool, which is the whole appeal of owning one. The catch in Central Texas is that there aren't many liner pools here, so the owners who have one spend a while on the phone finding somebody who still stocks bead track and knows what vermiculite is.
• Pool Remodeling & Renovation in Killeen — Pool remodeling covers the jobs that change the pool rather than just refinish it: adding a spa with a spillover, cutting in a tanning ledge, filling a deep end, raising a bond beam for a waterfall, or expanding the shell to claim back some patio. We do a lot of them in Killeen, because Fort Cavazos moves families every two or three years and a lot of these pools carry four owners' worth of repairs that nobody was here long enough to do properly.
• Pool Resurfacing & Replastering in Killeen — Pool resurfacing comes around sooner in Central Texas than the brochures suggest, because our water comes out of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers loaded with calcium, which is excellent for your bones and hard on your plaster. You notice the failure by feel before you see it: the floor stops being smooth and starts being abrasive, and somebody climbs out of the shallow end with a scraped toe.
