Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with industry associations and earned multiple certifications, reinforcing our dedication to quality and expertise.
Certified Master Pool Builder & Design Professional®
At Texas Pools, we’re proud to be among the very few pool companies in the nation with team members who have completed every level of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance’s Certified Pool Builder & Design Professional® Pathway—including the prestigious Certified Master Pool Builder & Design Professional®, the highest designation available.
This four-tiered certification program is designed to elevate the standards of pool construction, covering everything from foundational skills to advanced design and structural techniques. Each level requires extensive training, hands-on experience, ethics education, and ongoing continuing education.
You don’t reach Level 4 without first earning—and mastering—Levels 1 through 3.
Our team includes professionals who hold the Certified Building Professional® credential, and Paul, our Certified Master Pool Builder & Design Professional®, has completed all four certification levels. This places Texas Pools among the most highly qualified and credentialed pool builders in the country.
These certifications represent more than just titles—they reflect our deep commitment to craftsmanship, professionalism, and doing things the right way from the ground up.
