  • Will a pool increase the value of my home?

    Yes! Studies show that a pool will increase the value of a home anywhere from 7-15%, depending on where the home is located in San Antonio, the Hill Country, and surrounding areas. It will also continue to increase in value through the years, along with the home. If you're looking to install a pool, contact our swimming pool contractors today!
  • How much is involved in caring for a pool?

    In the past, pool maintenance was more of a chore. But with today's innovative technology and conveniences, owning a swimming pool can be easier than owning a car! Pool chemical testing, pre-programmed filtration and heating can all be automated and activated by a wireless controller if you desire. Automatic pool cleaning systems and various sanitizing devices also make pool maintenance simple. If you have questions, our pool contractors will be happy to help!
  • How much will a pool cost and what factors affect the cost?

    The price of a pool is determined by factors other than just size and shape. The swimming pool contractors at Pools Unlimited Inc. offers custom designs for each pool to the individual customer's wants and needs, so pricing can be varied. Some areas affecting price are: Permits required: city, homeowner's association fees, inspection fees throughout the process. Type of materials chosen: there is a wide variety of tiles, stones and other type of materials available to suit all price ranges. Additional features: waterfalls, outdoor kitchen, spas, diving boards, slides, beach entries, etc. Equipment to operate, maintain and clean your pool and spa can also drive up costs in the long run.
  • Why should I choose your company over an advertisement promising a custom pool at a very low price?

    While it is possible to build a pool at a low price, equipment, structural elements, quality craftsmanship, and design may be compromised. Pools Unlimited, Inc. understands the costs between a great job and a poor job can be significant. We work with every customer to determine a budget which encompasses their desires and needs to create a custom design which reflects the picture they see, in their mind, for their own backyard, within budget.
  • What pool design is right for me?

    Every property has its own unique features and challenges to consider when designing a pool. Consider how you intend to use your pool. Is exercise important? How about family use? Is there a special needs individual in the home? Where will the pool look best when viewed from inside and outside of your home? The swimming pool contractors at Pools Unlimited, Inc. will come to your home to take photos, and make sketches of your property to assist in preparing a custom design at no charge.
  • If I have a small or difficult yard or area to work with, can I still have a pool?

    Expert swimming pool contractors, such as Pools Unlimited, Inc. can construct a quality pool in all shape and size areas. Our design and construction teams have worked with the most challenging of properties. You will be amazed by Pools Unlimited Inc.'s creative and innovative solutions for turning your dreams into an aquatic oasis.
  • What about warranties and is my investment well-protected?

    Warranties are very important! At Pools Unlimited, Inc. we are confident in the products our swimming pool contractors use to build your pool and offer warranty to back it up. Always ask and compare warranties when you receive a pool estimate from any pool builder. Pool builders go out of business every year, which means when they are gone the warrantees could be an issue. Ask your builder WHO provides their warranty service!
  • Do you offer financing?

    Yes! You can make your family's dreams of a pool a reality by merely taking the equity in your home and converting it into cash. It is easy, inexpensive and tax wise. Contact our swimming pool contractors for more information on lending agencies available to assist you.
  • What are some of the options available to add to my pool?

    There are many innovative water treatment options, fiber-optic lighting, remote controls, automatic cleaning systems, spa products, and plenty of other options to make your pool easier to maintain and more enjoyable and fun for family and friends. Let us know what you would like, and our swimming pool contractors will be happy to show you how to make it happen.
  • Can I enjoy my pool year round? Do pools contribute to the drought?

    You certainly can use your pool year-round! We are not only pool builders, but we have pools of our own! Like most of our customers, we use our pools not just during pool season. Many people host football game pool parties around their pool-scape! As for contributing to the drought, water agency studies have proven that a residential swimming pool requires less water to maintain than the landscaping it will replace. Plus, the water in your swimming pool is available whenever it is needed in an emergency. Contact our swimming pool contractors to get started on your new pool today!
