He had several qualities I appreciated through the project. His communication is excellent and he was always punctual. His people were top notch, honest, and personable. Lanny has an artistic eye when it comes to pools and he is able to integrate his designs well into the landscape and the existing feel of the place. He has stood behind is product well after construction has finished. He is a perfectionist when it comes to finished product. I paid exactly what we agreed upon and I believe we got our money’s worth from the project. I truly cannot find a negative with my pool building experience. **★★★★★ — texansangel, Jan. 2014** > I hired this company after I was left high n dry by another company. My yard looked as though a bomb went off in it n they came in n did everything I wanted done. Exactly as I wanted it, also. I have had great customer service when I have questions or can't figure something out in my system then a service man is sent to help me. There were a few problems but as soon as I called, a crew came n repaired the few problems. Would recommend this company to anyone! **★★★★★ — jtotheboies, Dec. 2013** > Hired Preferred Pools in 2005 to do our pool. Very professional and easy to work with. The pool was finished earlier than originally projected and quality above and beyond. Definitely recommend them to anyone in the market for a pool. **★★★★★ — Texture, June 2013** > Preferred Pools built our pool, but what the end result showed was that Preferred Pools builds more than just swimming pools. They build a backyard oasis - a custom resort-type experience in your backyard! We're very pleased with their proficient and timely building performance. ## Selected projects - [Lagoon Style Pools](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lagoon-style-pools-pj-vj~861956) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 78 - [Straight Line Pools](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/straight-line-pools-pj-vj~861290) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 61 - [Modern Straight Line Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-straight-line-pool-pj-vj~861238) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Outdoor Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-kitchens-pj-vj~861658) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Pavements & Walkways](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pavements-and-walkways-pj-vj~419519) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Rectangular Pool & Stone Accents](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rectangular-pool-and-stone-accents-pj-vj~861316) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Lagoon Pool & Waterslide](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lagoon-pool-and-waterslide-pj-vj~861404) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Straight Line Pool & Water Fountain Accents](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/straight-line-pool-and-water-fountain-accents-pj-vj~861384) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Modern Lake Tyler Lap Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-lake-tyler-lap-pool-pj-vj~861273) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Lagoon Style & Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lagoon-style-and-firepit-pj-vj~863935) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Tyler Estate Lap Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tyler-estate-lap-pool-pj-vj~861284) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Lap Pool & Water Features](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lap-pool-and-water-features-pj-vj~861286) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Lagoon Pool & Rock Waterfall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lagoon-pool-and-rock-waterfall-pj-vj~863930) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Infinity Pools](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/infinity-pools-pj-vj~861368) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Railing Accents](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/railing-accents-pj-vj~861706) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Outdoor Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-fireplace-pj-vj~419496) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Spas & Hot Tubs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spas-and-hot-tubs-pj-vj~419544) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Stone Walls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stone-walls-pj-vj~861618) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Water Features & Pool Accents](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/water-features-and-pool-accents-pj-vj~419511) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Radius 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/radius-2-pj-vj~861951) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 31 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/decks-patios-and-outdoor-enclosures/preferred-pools-inc-pfvwus-pf~436221146) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the waterline tile.
