Build Your Own Pool

We started a Build Your Own Pool in October. Initial sales and consultation was great. Ongoing consultation has been good also. For a $3k fee, BYOP measures everything; provides a design spec; gives you a list of equipment to purchase from their sister company, Wholesale Pool Equipment; recommends subcontractors and helps with any questions/issues. Excavation started in November, we were told if all goes well, two months total so we ordered equipment in November, $14k worth, seemed like a good deal at the time. Plumbing and rebar in December. Gunite was backed up due to heavy demand, January. Then we had an ice storm in TX, which wreaked havoc on many existing pools and new pool construction. Equipment and construction materials became scarce and expensive. Tile, coping took about a week, however it took a month to schedule. Same subcontractor did the deck, which took over a month to schedule. Long story short, electric work was done in June and the electrician, recommended by BYOP, went to install pool lights and one needed a longer cord. We called Wholesale Pool Equipment and were happy to hear they can exchange the light for same model with 150' power cord, for difference in price, and they had four in stock. The next day, John, the head of sales, told us, sorry, we can't exchange the light because 1) the box had been opened, and 2) it was purchased more than 60 days ago. So, now we're stuck with a $700 paper weight. It's also worth mentioning that BYOP uses the same contractors the other pool builders use and they get lower priority. Friends who started their pool build after we did, using a local pool builder, have been enjoying their pool for three months.

We just started our pool building and BYOP has been very helpful through the first part of the process. They answer our questions and help us understand what the next steps are.

this has been a great experience so far! easy, and ryan has been very helpful. texts me late and on weekends and drew out EXACTELY what we wanted!!!

These guys are awesome!! Ryan P and team were amazing in helping us build our pool. They answered everyone of our questions about the process and we had a pool in exactly 33 days. I was very nervous about doing something like this ( Building my own pool) but these guys walked us thru the process answered all of our questions..... the biggest incentive to using these guys was the savings.... we saved A TON of money by using them VS a pool company. Approx 40 to 45% less in costs. ( no joke). I have already referred them to 2 different friends who also built their pool!

We've had a great experience with BYOP. We were hesitant initially because we didn't know the 1st thing about building a pool but Ryan was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We were able to save thousands on our pool. We are so glad we chose BYOP! Thank you!!

BYOP was the best way togo to build our pool. They delivered exactly as promised. We used them to help design/build our pool and backyard. They were quick responsive and knowledgable. I asked many many questions and they always answered quickly and gave great advice. Our project was completed in much less time than and expected and we saved thousands of dollars. If you want to get more for your dollar and have more control over your project they are a great way to go. As a plus Ryan and John were the reps we dealt with and I can't recommend them more.

We are return customers to BYOP, after having built our first pool with Todd's help back in 2013. When we purchased our new home - sans pool - there wasn't a question on who we would call to get us through the new pool process again. Todd and his crew at BYOP were knowledgeable about local requirements and ordinances, available throughout the construction project and quickly answered our (often pestering) questions, and essentially held our hands through the entire process. We saved a ton of money by building our own pool, and got the pool we wanted without breaking the bank. We are embarking on our second pool with BYOP, and I have every confidence the process will go as smoothly as the first did. I highly recommend BYOP to everyone - it's not as hard as you might think to Build Your Own Pool !

This place is awesome!. I can say that my experience so far has been nothing but positive. This company works in conjunction with WPE and is a huge convenience. BYOP designs your pool based on your needs and Wholesale Pool Equipment fulfills your pool equipment needs based on your pool plans. I am loving this! Taking on a pool project without a huge pool company is stressful enough. Taking on this project by myself is even more stressful, however, everything is laid out for me to complete my project while staying in control. I will definitely use this company again.

BYOP helped me design and build an amazing modern pool. I was able to get extra features and upgraded finishes with the money I saved building my own pool. The BYOP team is very experienced and patient and really helped my design come to life. Would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a new pool.

Had a great experience with BYOP. Todd was very helpful and always quick to respond. The process certainly requires more attention by the owner to manage, but it allows for better controls! After receiving several quotes for my pool I contacted BYOP. In the end, I was able to shorten the construction schedule by 2-3 weeks and get a lot more done for the same budget. Don't let the process scare you - It's not that hard. Just ask a lot of questions and you'll be fine!

Great experience working with Todd and John. They were quick to answer all questions and they gave good advice. We saved over $20k on our project!!! I would recommend this program to anyone.

If you are looking to build a pool at a reasonable price call byop. They have been great from the start of design to providing contractors. It's has been an easy process. Pool was finished in 3 weeks. You can't go wrong with BYOP I'm a happy customer
