Our Pool Services in Corpus Christi, TX
Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction
Gunite pool construction in Corpus Christi gives you a steel-reinforced concrete shell that can take any shape your lot allows and shrug off Gulf Coast salt air for decades. We handle the whole build in house: 3D design, permits, excavation, rebar, shotcrete, tile, coping, decking, equipment, and plaster startup.
Fiberglass Pool Installation
Fiberglass pool installation in Corpus Christi puts water in your backyard in three to six weeks instead of the eight to twelve a gunite build needs. The shell arrives as one molded piece, gets craned into a prepared hole, and the smooth gelcoat surface gives algae far less to hold onto than porous plaster does.
Pool Remodeling & Renovation
Pool remodeling in Corpus Christi usually costs between a quarter and half of what a new pool does, because the expensive part, the shell in the ground, is almost always still sound. What has aged out is everything you actually touch and look at: the plaster, the tile, the coping, the deck, and equipment that belongs in a museum.
Pool Resurfacing & Pebble Finishes
Pool resurfacing in Corpus Christi runs $5,000 to $12,000 for most residential pools and buys you another 10 to 20 years of interior finish depending on the material you choose. You know it is time when the floor starts sanding your feet, when the plaster has gone from white to a mottled gray map, or when no amount of brushing takes the stains out any more.
Waterline Tile & Coping
Waterline tile replacement and coping repair in Corpus Christi fixes the band of your pool that everybody stares at and nobody thinks about until it turns chalky white. Hard local water leaves calcium above the waterline, and once that scale has set, scrubbing will not touch it, but bead blasting removes it without destroying the glaze for a fraction of the cost of retiling.
Pool Decks & Hardscape
Pool deck installation in Corpus Christi decides whether anyone actually uses your pool in August, because gray broom-finish concrete gets hot enough to end the afternoon before it starts. Travertine, shell stone, and light-colored pavers run meaningfully cooler underfoot, resist salt spray, and can be lifted and reset individually when coastal soil shifts.
Spa & Hot Tub Installation
Spa and hot tub installation in Corpus Christi gives you the part of the backyard that gets used from November through March, when the pool itself is honestly too cool to enjoy. A raised gunite spa that spills into the pool is the most common build we do, and building it at the same time as the pool costs far less than adding one later because it shares filtration, heater, gas line, and automation.
Water Features & Tanning Ledges
Tanning ledge and water feature installation in Corpus Christi adds the part of the pool that actually gets used every day, not just photographed. A tanning ledge, also called a Baja shelf or sun shelf, is a 6 to 12 inch deep platform at one end of the pool, and adding two bubblers turns it into the most-occupied square footage in the yard.
LED Pool Lighting
LED pool light installation in Corpus Christi cuts a 300 to 500 watt incandescent fixture down to roughly 40 to 70 watts for the same or better output, and the LED will typically outlive the bulb it replaced several times over. On a Gulf Coast pool where the lights run most evenings from April through October, that is a genuine change to the electric bill rather than a brochure claim.
Pool Automation & Smart Controls
Pool automation in Corpus Christi puts the pump, heater, valves, lights, and water features on a schedule you control from your phone instead of a timer clock nobody has adjusted since 2016. A modern controller runs the variable-speed pump at the right RPM for each task, switches actuators between pool and spa, fires the heater on your drive home, and runs the light shows, and it is the single upgrade most homeowners tell us they wish they had done first.
Pool Heaters & Heat Pumps
Pool heater installation in Corpus Christi turns a three-season pool into a year-round one, because water temperature in December sits well below comfortable even on days when the air feels fine. We install and service natural gas and propane heaters, electric heat pumps, and solar systems, and the right choice depends entirely on whether you want fast heat or cheap heat.
Variable-Speed Pumps & Filtration
Variable-speed pump installation in Corpus Christi typically cuts pump energy use by more than half, because power draw falls steeply as motor speed drops and a slow pump running long hours moves the same water for a fraction of the electricity. On a Coastal Bend pool that circulates nine or ten months a year, that is one of the few upgrades with a payback measured in seasons rather than decades.
Saltwater Chlorination Systems
Saltwater pool conversion in Corpus Christi costs roughly $70 to $100 a year in salt and replaces the weekly ritual of hauling chlorine jugs home from the store. A saltwater pool is still a chlorine pool, which surprises people, but the salt cell generates the chlorine on site from water sitting at about 3,200 parts per million salt, roughly a tenth the salinity of seawater and about the point where you stop noticing it.
Pool Leak Detection & Crack Repair
Pool leak detection in Corpus Christi starts with proving there is actually a leak, because a pool here loses about a quarter inch a day to evaporation in summer and that is normal physics rather than a plumbing failure. Losing an inch a day is a leak, and the bucket test settles the argument in 24 hours: float a bucket of pool water on a step, mark the level inside and outside, come back tomorrow and compare the drop.
Weekly Pool Cleaning & Maintenance
Weekly pool service in Corpus Christi runs $100 to $250 a month depending on pool size, tree load, and whether filter cleans and salt cell service are included. A proper visit is not a lap around the pool with a net: we test and balance the water, brush walls and the waterline, empty skimmer and pump baskets, check filter pressure against its clean baseline, inspect the equipment pad, and leave a note about anything trending the wrong way.
Green Pool Cleanup & Acid Washing
Green pool cleanup in Corpus Christi usually takes three to seven days and almost never requires draining the pool, which is the important part. Draining a shell over the high water table we have across the island and Flour Bluff side risks lifting it out of the ground, so chemical recovery is the first route we try on every job and the one that works in the large majority of cases.
Pool Safety Fences & Covers
Pool safety fence and cover installation in Corpus Christi keeps your pool compliant with local barrier code and, far more importantly, keeps a toddler out of the water when nobody is looking. A residential barrier here generally needs to be at least 48 inches high with no climbable footholds, gaps that a small child cannot pass through, and a self-closing, self-latching gate that swings away from the pool with the latch mounted out of reach.
Commercial Pool Construction & Service
Commercial pool construction and service in Corpus Christi is judged on turnover rates and compliance paperwork, not on how nice the tile looks. Texas public pools fall under 25 TAC Chapter 265 and Health and Safety Code Chapter 757, which means compliant enclosures, VGB anti-entrapment main drain covers, correct turnover for the pool volume and bather load, working flow meters and gauges, accurate depth and rule signage, and daily chemical logs an inspector can read without squinting.
Pool Demolition & Removal
Pool removal in Corpus Christi is a permitted demolition job with two legitimate approaches, and picking the wrong one costs you either money now or resale value later. A partial fill-in breaks holes through the bottom for drainage, collapses the upper walls into the cavity, and backfills with engineered fill placed and compacted in lifts.
Corpus Christi Pool Pros is a pool contractor with over 15 years of experience designing, building, and servicing swimming pools for residential and commercial properties in Corpus Christi, TX.
Our work covers new gunite and shotcrete pool construction, fiberglass pool installation, pool remodeling and renovation, resurfacing and replastering, waterline tile and coping, pool decks and hardscape, spa and hot tub installation, tanning ledges and water features, LED pool lighting, pool automation, heaters and heat pumps, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination, leak detection and crack repair, green pool recovery, safety fencing and covers, weekly cleaning, and commercial pool construction for hotels, resorts, RV parks, apartment communities, and HOAs.
We build with #3 and #4 rebar cages, wet-mix shotcrete and dry-mix gunite, pebble and quartz aggregate interiors, glass and porcelain waterline tile, travertine and shell-stone coping, and salt cells sized from 20,000 to 60,000 gallons.
Salt air is the part nobody warns you about. Within a mile or two of Corpus Christi Bay, airborne chlorides eat equipment cabinets, heater trays, and cheap deck fasteners years before their time, so we specify marine-grade stainless hardware, cupro-nickel heat exchangers, and pad layouts that keep gear out of the prevailing southeast wind.
Corpus Christi Pool Pros is fully insured and bonded, pulls every build with licensed electrical and plumbing trades, staffs service routes with CPO-certified technicians, belongs to the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, and backs every construction, remodel, and resurfacing project with a written workmanship warranty.
What Corpus Christi Customers Say
They designed our pool in 3D so we knew exactly what we were getting. Crew was on time every day and the tanning ledge is my kids' favorite spot. Worth every penny.
Got three quotes for a remodel. These guys were the only ones who actually showed up on time and explained the plaster options. New pebble finish looks brand new.
Our old pump died mid-summer. They had it diagnosed and replaced in one visit, no upsell. Now on their weekly service and the water has never been clearer.
Built our pool and deck together, travertine that doesn't burn your feet. Honest about the timeline and stuck to it. Highly recommend to anyone on the coast.
Found a leak two other companies missed. Pressure tested every line, dug one small hole, fixed the return fitting and patched the deck back. Water level has not moved since.
We run a rental and they keep the pool inspection ready year round. Chemical logs are current every time, and they text photos after each visit. Makes my life easy.

About Corpus Christi Pool Pros in Corpus Christi, TX
Corpus Christi Pool Pros has spent over 15 years building and maintaining swimming pools across Nueces, San Patricio, Aransas, and Kleberg counties. We started as a two-truck service outfit fixing other people's pumps, which is a useful way to learn what fails and why.
That is still how we design: equipment pads laid out so a technician can actually reach the union fittings, plumbing sized for the pump instead of the other way around, and finishes chosen for hard Coastal Bend water rather than for a showroom.
Geography shapes every build here. Sandy soil and a shallow water table across the Padre Island and Flour Bluff side mean dewatering during excavation and a heavier steel schedule than an inland lot needs. Bayfront properties from Ocean Drive out to Portland get marine-grade hardware because airborne chlorides do not care how new your heater is.
And with a swim season that realistically runs March through November, equipment runs more hours per year here than almost anywhere north of us, which is exactly why we push variable-speed pumps hard.
We are insured and bonded, we pull every build with licensed electrical and plumbing trades, our service technicians hold the Certified Pool Operator credential from the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, and every construction, remodel, and resurfacing project carries a written workmanship warranty. Se habla espanol, the 3D design is free, and nobody from this company will call you twice a week about it.
How It Works
- 1
1. Design & firm quote
We measure the yard, check setbacks and the water table, and design your pool in 3D so you see it before anyone breaks ground. The quote is itemized down to the tile, and it does not move unless you move it.
- 2
2. Permits, layout & excavation
We pull the City of Corpus Christi permits, mark utilities, and dig. Coastal sand and a high water table mean dewatering and a heavier steel schedule on some lots, and we tell you that up front rather than at invoice time.
- 3
3. Steel, shotcrete, tile & finish
Rebar cage, plumbing, shotcrete shell, a 28-day cure window, then tile, coping, decking, equipment, and the interior finish. Same in-house crew from the dig to the fill, not a rotating cast of subs.
- 4
4. Startup & handover
We fill it, brush it daily through plaster startup, balance the chemistry, teach you the automation, and hand you a printed startup schedule. Weekly service is optional, never bundled in without asking.
Commercial Pool Services in Corpus Christi & the Coastal Bend
We build, remodel, and maintain commercial pools for bayfront hotels, Padre Island resorts, apartment and condo communities, HOAs, RV parks, and community centers across the Coastal Bend.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new pool cost in Corpus Christi?
Most inground gunite pools in the Coastal Bend land between the mid-$40,000s and the mid-$70,000s once you count decking, equipment, and a finish you actually like. A small plunge pool with a plain plaster interior can come in under that. A pool with a raised spa, a tanning ledge, sheer descents, and travertine decking goes over it.
The honest answer is that the shell is the cheap part and the decking is where budgets quietly grow, so we itemize both separately in the quote.
How long does a pool build take on the Gulf Coast?
Eight to twelve weeks from excavation to fill is normal, and the two things that stretch it are rain and inspections. Shotcrete needs roughly a 28-day cure before plaster in most cases, and a wet August can add a week or two. Remodels run faster: a resurface and retile is usually 10 to 21 days start to finish.
Does salt air really shorten equipment life here?
Yes, and it is the single most underrated cost of owning a pool near the bay. Airborne chlorides accelerate corrosion on heater cabinets, pump motor shells, light niches, and deck screws. We use marine-grade stainless fasteners, cupro-nickel heat exchangers on gas heaters, and we site the equipment pad on the leeward side of the house where the budget allows. It is the difference between a heater lasting five years and lasting twelve.
Do I need a fence around my pool in Texas?
For a residential pool the requirement comes from the City of Corpus Christi building code rather than the state, and in practice that means a barrier at least 48 inches high with a self-closing, self-latching gate that swings outward. Public and commercial pools fall under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 757 and 25 TAC Chapter 265, which is stricter. We handle the barrier as part of the build, not as a surprise line item after inspection.
How often does a pool need resurfacing in the Coastal Bend?
Standard white plaster in our water usually gives you 7 to 12 years before it feels like sandpaper. Quartz stretches that to 10 to 15, and pebble finishes commonly run 15 to 20 with manufacturer warranties in the 10-year range. Corpus Christi water is hard, so scale is the usual villain long before the finish actually fails structurally.
Do you service pools you did not build?
Most of our service work is on pools somebody else built, including a lot of 1990s shells around Flour Bluff and Calallen that still hold water fine and just need new plaster, new tile, and equipment from this decade. Weekly service, repairs, resurfacing, and remodels are all available whether or not our name is on the original permit.
