To begin my relationship with this company, I was compelled by a competitor whose pool water test I…read morehad suspected was not accurate. When you compare this business with an owner that is a chemical engineer against the competition which employs teens, the difference is substantial.

I am now a believer in liquid chlorine and my pool has never looked better and runs much more economical. Thank you Pinch A Penny!

They replaced both pumps effortlessly and affordably. The pool heater problem turned out to be not the heater, but my gas line which was quickly identified as the culprit. The line was full of water. They blew out the line and hooked it back up and it now runs like a charm. Both Daniel and Brian remained courteous and extremely knowledgeable at all facets of my entire system. I can quite easily without hesitation recommend them for the maintenance on any part of a pool system. I know I am finally completely satisfied at finding a company that can meet any of my future problems (which we all know will happen -- not if, but when). Now, if I can only find an electrician ....

A Pool Experience That Stands the Test of Time…read more Selecting a pool company can be daunting, but choosing Pulliam Pools Houston was one of the best decisions we've made. Their long-standing history--founded in 1918--and their friendly, knowledgeable staff gave us the confidence we needed. Construction on our pool began on July 30, 2019, and just 30 days later, it was fully completed, including the deck. We've been enjoying it ever since! The quality and craftsmanship were outstanding from day one. Even more impressive is their ongoing support. Over the past six years, Pulliam has consistently provided excellent service, whether for rare warranty issues or minor post-warranty repairs. They've always responded quickly and professionally. Everyone we've worked with has been wonderful, but we'd like to give a special shoutout to Robert and Sean--thank you for making the experience smooth and enjoyable. We are so glad we chose Pulliam Pools! The Smith's, Richmond, TX

If I could rate them below 1 star I would. I've been building my pool since mid July and it's not…read morefinished. They promise permitted pool in 4 -4.5 months. At 5.5 months they are suppose to make the process simple and easy . This company is the exact opposite. My PM threaten financial responsibility to bully there clients, for something that is complete there fault. My pool was suppose to be dig to gunite in 10days instead it was closer to 30 days bc they didn't realize they had city approval on 5th day. So they waited close 2.5 wks go by before it is scheduled. Even though every few days after rebarb was installed I contacted them and was told to wait because no city approval. So by the time contractor came out my pool had caved in: Then they agreed to start the process over again but couldn't schedule it within a week, so it caved another 3 times due to rain. I told the PM that they had to do the start the process again include the city inspection. He ask to speak to my dad and my dad told him multiple time no if you lay rebarb then the inspection needs to be redone. The PM then tried to back track and said to us if the pool caved again it would be our responsibility to pay even though the contract said otherwise. Which is when I told him off and he should read the contract. Next major issue during the build they cut my well line, no one showed up for over a week. I had to call someone to set up a temporary line so I could have water in my house. My PM didn't care so I called his manager after a wk and someone came out the next day. After filling the pool with water I believing there was a light at the end of tunnel that this project was almost over but it wasn't. Typical Houston weather we had a freak storm that brought large amounts of water, we noticed the water was nearly to the top of decking. So I asked how come the pool doesn't drain itself. I was told it a manual process where the owner has to go out and open a valve. My neighbor has a 20 yr old pool that has an automatic release once it get to a certain level. We live in Houston area it rains like crazy in this town, you would think it would be install automatically. When I ask why it isn't automatic they said it's up to the designer. Which they don't ask or tell you doing the design process. Nor can it be retro actively installed. The icing on the cake my current issue. We schedule the pool motor to be started the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. I took a day off. The gentleman comes out to my house and with in 10 min he knew the electrical had issue and there was cement in my skimmers. I have a PM that suppose to come and check the subs works. He never comes out he obviously didn't check there work and he does not know how to return phone calls. Apparently his job is drive around and put WO into the system. I have had water in my pool for 3 wks with out proper chemicals or working motor, so I know have a green swamp. So my advise is do not choose this company they don't fix thing in a timely manner, the PM is no added value you could have a scheduler or GC do his job. Not worth the headache or heartache bc at the end of the day it your property that's ruined and they have your money!

So spoke with the guy at Texsun, followed his instructions; and next test: perfect pool!

2 Stars only because at one point, this was a well run store with helpful employees. I just…read morefinished my last visit to this store. Here is why: For about 3 years I've come here for my pool. Every visit, I buy everything they say I need. Each visit usually comes to $50 to $150 and I never complain or question them. In that time I've also made larger purchases around $1000 for additional equipment like a new Polaris, a new motor for one of my pumps, new housings/fittings/etc. All together is probably safe to say I've spent between $5k and $10k dollars there. So today I replaced the 5th piece that's failed on my Polaris I bought from them. I'm a little annoyed by that b/c it cost $1000 and I feel like being 2 years old, that's just a bit ridiculous. I've also had parts sold to me at a discount because "they were opened by accident" only to find that parts where missing and I was denied a refund... but in general, I was just a little annoyed about the Polaris failures. I went into the store to get my water checked just now. The one manager (female, young, didn't catch her name) was helping some other people and a young guy took my water. I casually mentioned how I've just replaced the 4th or 5th piece on that (I think i said $1400, but it's actually $1000... no matter) Polaris, and how crazy that seems. I didn't say it aggressively. I just sorta mentioned it while the guy was testing my water. Anyway, the girl was not having it. She was sure I only paid $800 (as if that makes it somehow ok) and insisted on trying to argue about it in front of the whole store, even going so far as to stop helping customers and go print my old receipt. Okay, so it ended up being $1000 and not $1400. Still... my point was that it's not a great product if I have to spend $300 over the next 2 years repairing it (and thats just parts. if i paid labor for someone else to do it, who knows how much it would be). As I left, she came storming out of the store and began to berate me and my wife for our unacceptable behavior. I remained totally calm. Her voice shook and her eyes became bloodshot as her blood pressure elevated and she assured me of how she was an excellent manager and she just wasn't having that in her store. I calmly told her that I would have no problem apologizing if I made her feel disrespected, and I even did apologize. I then told her that perhaps a better manager might approach a long time customer with a different tact and the benefit of the doubt before talking down to us like we are children. None the less, she assured me she wasn't going to put up with my behavior (i guess of expecting value out of a product and just idly mentioning it calmly in conversation) before exclaiming "That's just the way it is!" and walking off. I'm now looking for somewhere else. Go here if you want, I wouldn't.
