    New pool build in Katy, Tx -Update with questions

    Thank you. I also heard that 50k was average in the area. This is considerably bigger than the average backyard pool and we have some extra items, like the raised wall and sheer descents so it was around 67k.

    We went with Platinum. They don't cover certain costs. Their contract says they cover items damaged due to negligence, but not items due to normal construction damage such as broken sprinkler lines and water or underground utility lines broken during excavation. They marked for all lines...

    Re: New pool build in Katy, Tx I've added the renderings which were made based on the flagstone. I love the look of the stacked stone on the raised walls, but the back wall is 55' in length so that adds more money than we are willing to spend. I found some solar covers online with good user...
