Honest guidance on pool pricing, warranties, and what to expect.
July 1, 2026
A pool is one of the largest projects a Katy homeowner will ever take on, and the quote you sign decides whether it goes smoothly or turns into a string of surprises. A good quote is boring in the best way. It spells out every line so there is nothing to argue about later. Here is how to read one before you commit.
A single number like $78,000 tells you almost nothing. A real quote breaks the build into the shell, the tile and coping, the equipment pad, the deck, and the interior finish, each priced on its own line. When the costs are separated, you can see where your money goes and compare builders fairly. If a quote is one lump figure with no breakdown, ask for the itemized version before you go further.
The interior finish drives long term cost more than the sticker price suggests. Standard white plaster lasts five to ten years, while a quartz or pebble aggregate finish holds up fifteen to twenty five years. A quote that looks cheap may be quoting basic plaster, so confirm the exact finish in writing. The same goes for coping and waterline tile, since travertine and glass mosaic cost more than a cast concrete edge.
The structural warranty on the shell, the plumbing, and the finish should be attached to the quote, not promised in conversation. Read the term and what it covers. A builder who puts the guarantee on paper before digging is telling you they stand behind the work. If you build with us, that coverage is part of your custom gunite pools contract from day one.
Texas code requires a barrier at least 48 inches tall with a self-closing, self-latching gate, plus the NEC 680.26 bonding grid around the shell. Make sure the quote includes the permit, the fence, and anti-entrapment drain covers rather than leaving them as extras you discover later. These are not optional, so they belong in the base price for any pool near your 77494 backyard.
Even a well-planned build can hit a surprise, like rock during excavation. A fair quote explains how change orders are priced and confirms that nothing gets added without your signature first. That single clause protects you from a total that creeps upward while the crew is already on site.
Reading a quote carefully takes an hour and saves you months of frustration. If you want an itemized quote you can actually understand, contact us or call Euniwizard at (713) 812-2583 and we will walk you through every line.
Euniwizard provides pool builders in Katy, TX, handling custom gunite pool construction, fiberglass pool installation, vinyl-liner pools, pool remodeling and resurfacing, attached spa and hot tub integration, and saltwater chlorination from the first day of layout through excavation, steel, plumbing, shell, tile, deck, interior finish, and startup. We keep one crew on your project the whole way, so the same team that sets the steel rebar cage is the team that hands you the keys. Homeowners near Mason Road, across the Cinco Ranch subdivision, and throughout the 77494 area get a builder who lives and works in the same neighborhoods they do.
The workmanship promise behind each build is simple and it is in writing. Your gunite shell is sprayed over a properly tied rebar cage, cured, and warranted against structural failure, so you are not trusting a handshake. We put the guarantee on paper before the first bucket of dirt comes out, and we stand behind the shell, the plumbing, and the interior finish for the term stated in your contract. If something is not right during the build, we fix it before we move to the next stage, not after the deck is poured over it.
Pricing transparency is the other half of how we work. Most Katy backyards land between $60,000 and $95,000 for a custom gunite pool once you factor in shape, depth, and the deck, and we break that number down line by line instead of handing you a single lump sum. You see the cost of the shell, the tile and coping, the equipment pad, and the deck separately, so nothing hides. Change orders are rare because we plan the build fully at the start, and when a real change comes up we price it and get your signature before we act on it.
Material grades matter more than most brochures admit, and we walk you through them in plain language. A standard white plaster interior lasts five to ten years, while a quartz or pebble aggregate finish holds up fifteen to twenty five years, so the finish you pick changes the long term cost more than the sticker price suggests. We set glass or ceramic mosaic waterline tile, travertine or cast concrete coping, and a variable-speed pump that meets the 2021 Department of Energy efficiency rule. Every one of those choices gets explained before you commit, because a pool near Fry Road should still look right in the year 2040.
We build pools throughout Katy and the surrounding Harris County and Fort Bend communities, from the master-planned subdivisions to the nearby towns.

One local builder for every part of the project, from a brand new custom shell to a full resurface of the pool you already own.
Fully custom inground pools with a pneumatically applied gunite shell over a steel rebar cage, allowing any shape, depth, vanishing edge, or tanning ledge.
Factory-molded one-piece fiberglass shells set on a compacted gravel base, plumbed and backfilled, with a smooth gelcoat interior that needs no plaster.
Steel or polymer wall panels with a troweled floor and a custom-fit membrane liner, the lowest first cost of the three build types.
Chipping out tired plaster and applying fresh quartz or pebble finish, replacing waterline tile and coping, and updating drains to current anti-entrapment covers.
Attached spillover spas, variable-speed pumps, cartridge filters, heaters, and smart controllers that run pumps, lights, and heat from a phone app.
Travertine, paver, and stamped concrete decks, code-compliant 48 inch safety barriers, and salt chlorine generators for softer, steadier water.
Pool cost comes down to build type, size, and finish, and we itemize all of it. Vinyl-liner is the lowest first cost, fiberglass sits in the middle with the fastest install, and a fully custom gunite pool runs highest because you control every dimension. Waterline tile, premium coping, an attached spa, and the deck are quoted as separate lines, so you see exactly where each dollar goes before you sign. The ranges below are typical for the Katy area, and the firm number goes in writing after we design your build.
