The Ortus team came out quickly and did a very professional job. They reset the pavers, leveled, and added sealant to the pool. The soil movement in North Texas can be drastic, so the treatment will keep my deck level for years to come. Really happy with the results. **★★★★★ — David Kidd, June 2018** > Easy to work with not the cheapest but very good work - Time line was an issue last fall and this spring but it all came together. **Comment from Ortus Exteriors:** > Thank you for your review, we hope that you, your family, and friends create many memories with your beautiful Belgard patio and pool. **★★★★★ — Danyelle Becker, June 2018** > Ortus and all the workers were amazing helping us design and build our pool and patio/kitchen. Aside from normal delays (weather) everything was taken care of quickly! Miles was always a text/phone call away. Our backyard is now a daily used area of our house. **Comment from Ortus Exteriors:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and even add pictures! It is so rewarding to work with customers like you who have the vision to create such a beautiful environment for entertaining family and friends. I will let Florentino and the guys know that you even gave them a shout out! Have a great summer. **★★★★★ — Darren Reeves, June 2018** > We did not hire Miles/Ortus Exteriors quickly. I researched pool companies off and on for 2 years before deciding to go with Ortus. > > One thing we understood before diving in (pun intended) was we knew construction is not easy. There will be bumps and curves along the way. Understood. The best part of partnering with Miles/Ortus is that for every bump or curve we arrived at, Miles was honest, transparent, and creative when it came to solutions. This is a must when choosing your builder. > > Miles and Ortus exceeded our expectations, and trust me when I say this, my wife set the bar pretty high. We love every aspect of our backyard now, and having a space that is enjoyable, functional, and beautiful to look at: BONUS. > > Building a pool/backyard kitchen is not an inexpensive endeavor, and it is my opinion you should stay away from the ones that say "I can do that cheaply". You really do get what you pay for. > > In our backyard, we have an oasis that we enjoy every single day, no matter the weather. **Comment from Ortus Exteriors:** > Mr. Reeves, > > No words can express our gratitude for your very kind review! Your project turned out so beautiful. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your oasis every day, that is what we love about this business. Your investment will bring you joy and memories for years to come. Thank you for including the pictures! **★★★★★ — Patrick Rodriguez, Jan. 2018** > I would highly recommend Ortus Exteriors for your custom pool project. Miles is always responsive to your needs, and will build a professional custom pool. Also he will honor any warranties for the pool and equipment. I would use Ortus pools if I ever built another pool **Comment from Ortus Exteriors:** > Thank you Patrick for your review! We're very glad you're enjoying your pool and patio - looks like your dog is also! ## Selected projects - [Parker - Pool with Slide, Pool House, Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parker-pool-with-slide-pool-house-firepit-pj-vj~2828430) - Location: Parker, TX - Photos: 16 - Description: Ortus Exteriors 972-422-6999 - This beautiful one-acre home needed an even more beautiful outdoor upgrade!

Can this be put on top of existing concrete?** *(in Photo Questions)* Our concrete is in good condition so we want to find something that we can put over it. I don't want to tile and this is a very cool look. Thanks. A: Yes, you can do a concrete overlay depending on how much space you have next to the house **Q: Lights in a new in-ground pool: yes or no?** *(in Pools & Spas)* We're having an in-ground pool installed later this spring, probably mid-May. Middle-aged couple, no kids, friends but not a lot of party animal types! Pretty dull, really. Pool installers are asking if we'd like lights in the pool ... I'm thinking not, because they'll attract bugs (we're in rural eastern Canada, LOTS of seasonal bugs), and I don't like the lights on in the hot tub of a dark evening, so, meh. DH thinks yes, because - actually, I'm not sure why! I think he thinks they'd look nice? What say you, Houzzers? Pros? Cons? A: Like the old saying goes, better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it! **Q: Deck of our Dreams Before and After** *(in Before & After)* Before After A: What a transformation. Beautiful addition, beautiful wood! **Q: 5'6" x 6'10" Bath Transforation, What do You Think?** *(in Before & After)* So we had a very spatially challenged bath to update. Owner wanted a open and bright space with maximum storage. What do you think? Before After A: Very modern look! Great colors and lighting. Did you keep the original tub or get a new one? **Q: Living Room ReDo** *(in Before & After)* I helped my sister restyle her living room and used a photo from houzz as the inspiration. First photo is the HOUZZ Inspiration Photo, second photo is the LR before and last photo LR after A: The rug really lightens up the room and makes it look larger. I agree about the coffee table. Glad you took off those green covers from the white couch chairs! **Q: Small outdoor space - No Problem!** *(in Before & After)* See the transformation in these before and after photos of a condo patio. A: Very zen. Beautiful work! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-06.*
