Houston’s Most Awarded Pool Company — fully custom gunite pools designed and built to the highest standard, backed by 30+ years of experience.
When Houston homeowners decide to build a custom inground pool, the builder they choose determines everything — the quality of the design, the precision of the construction, the integrity of the process, and the long-term performance of the finished pool. Regal Pools was built specifically to deliver at the highest level on every one of those dimensions.
As Houston’s Most Awarded Pool Company with over 30 years of experience designing and building custom pools throughout Greater Houston, we bring a depth of local knowledge and construction expertise that simply can’t be replicated. We understand Houston’s clay-heavy soils, high water table, and intense summer heat — and how to engineer pools that last decades in this climate.
Every Regal pool is built using gunite/shotcrete construction — the industry’s gold standard for custom inground pools. Unlike fiberglass’s pre-molded shapes or vinyl liner’s limited lifespan, a properly built gunite pool in Greater Houston can realistically last 50 to 100 years with proper care. It’s the only construction method that gives you complete freedom over shape, depth, size, and features.
Every project begins with a free, no-obligation design consultation and a stunning custom 3D rendering so you can see your finished pool before a single shovel enters the ground.
Gunite construction — the only method with unlimited design flexibility and a 50–100+ year lifespan.
Free 3D design — see your finished pool before construction ever begins.
30+ years of experience — three decades engineering pools for Houston-specific soil and climate.
Full permit management — engineering, permitting, and HOA review handled for you.
Gunite — a high-pressure dry-mix concrete sprayed over a steel rebar framework — is the construction method used by every serious custom pool builder in the Houston market. It’s the only method that gives you complete freedom over shape, depth, and design, and the only one that produces a truly permanent pool structure.
In Houston’s challenging environment — expansive clay soils, a high water table, heavy seasonal rains, and intense summer heat — gunite’s structural superiority matters enormously. A properly engineered gunite pool handles soil movement, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal stress in ways fiberglass and vinyl simply cannot match.
Gunite: fully custom shape & size, 50–100+ year lifespan, superior structural performance in Houston’s soils.
Fiberglass: limited pre-molded shapes, faster install but no customization, 25-year typical lifespan.
Vinyl liner: lowest upfront cost, liner replacement every 5–10 years, not suited to Houston’s climate demands.
No two Regal pools are alike. Our design team works from a blank canvas on every project, creating a pool and outdoor living environment precisely tailored to your property, your architecture, and your lifestyle vision — not a catalog or a pre-set package.
Resort-style freeform pools with lagoon curves, beach entries, grottos, and waterfalls.
Modern geometric pools with clean lines, knife edges, and infinity or vanishing edges.
Pool & spa combinations with integrated spa spillovers and dual-temperature control.
Lap pools & exercise pools for fitness-focused homeowners.
Family pools with tanning ledges, bubblers, and shallow play areas.

Water features elevate a great pool into an unforgettable one. Moving water — whether the soft sound of a sheer descent or the drama of a natural grotto waterfall — adds a dimension of atmosphere and luxury that no static pool can replicate.
A clean sheet of water into your pool — elegant and dramatic, especially with LED backlighting at night.
Natural or fabricated rock formations for a tropical, resort-like atmosphere, with a cave-like enclosure option.
Arc streams of water from deck to pool — stunning at night when backlit, and kids love chasing the glowing arcs.
Upward-spouting features on tanning ledges and beach entries, creating a splash-pad effect for young children.
A perimeter overflow that creates the illusion of water merging with the horizon or landscape.
Purpose-built slides designed to complement your pool’s architecture and materials.
The best pool projects don’t stop at the water’s edge. Regal Pools designs and builds complete outdoor living environments — pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, fire features, covered structures, lighting, and decking — into a single, cohesive design.
Custom outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, refrigerators, sinks, and bar seating.
Covered pergolas, pavilions, and shade structures.
Fire pits, fire bowls, and fire-and-water feature combinations.
Pool decking in travertine, natural stone, pavers, and stamped concrete.
LED architectural, landscape, and underwater lighting systems.

Outdoor Living SpacesBuilding a custom pool in Greater Houston comes with a handful of local considerations we manage on every project.
Houston’s expansive, clay-heavy soils swell and contract seasonally. Every Regal pool gets a site-specific structural engineering plan — not a generic drawing reused across properties.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction — City of Houston, Harris, Montgomery, and Fort Bend counties, and various MUD districts. We manage all applications, submissions, and inspections.
Most master-planned communities require HOA review. We prepare complete, HOA-compliant submittal packages tailored to each community’s specific standards.
Financing options are available for qualified homeowners through pool-specific lenders. Visit our financing page to explore your options.
A typical Regal pool runs 10–16 weeks from excavation to final walkthrough. Pre-construction — design, permitting, HOA review — typically adds 4–8 weeks.
Every Regal pool is backed by a comprehensive warranty covering structural workmanship and equipment. Full details are reviewed at your consultation and final walkthrough.
The most common question we hear from Houston homeowners is: what will my pool cost? The answer depends on several key variables — but understanding the cost landscape helps you plan effectively from day one.
Regal Pools builds fully custom gunite inground pools designed and priced specifically for your property, vision, and budget. The cost of your specific pool will be determined by:
Pool size and depth: a compact family pool costs significantly less than a sprawling resort design.
Design complexity: a clean geometric rectangle is more economical than a freeform lagoon with variable depths.
Water features: sheer descents, grottos, rock waterfalls, and vanishing edges each add to project scope.
Finish selections: pebble finishes, quartz aggregates, and glass tile add cost but improve aesthetics and durability.
Decking & outdoor living: travertine, pavers, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas are typically separate from the pool contract.
Site conditions: difficult access, tree removal, or unusual soil conditions can add to excavation costs.
The most reliable way to understand what your pool will cost is a free, no-obligation consultation with our design team.
Eight clearly defined steps from first conversation to first swim — with expert guidance and zero surprises at every stage.
We visit your property, evaluate soil conditions, sun orientation, and access, and listen to your vision and budget.
