Our Work
DFW's Design-First Pool Company
Selah Pools builds custom gunite pools across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex — from University Park and Highland Park to Fort Worth, Southlake, and growing communities south of I-20. Every project starts with a collaborative design process where your family's lifestyle drives the plan, not a catalog of prefabricated shapes.
With over 100 completed projects spanning geometric, freeform, and contemporary styles, the Selah team brings the same design rigor to a Mansfield family retreat as a Granbury waterfront estate. Custom spas, water features, fire elements, and complete outdoor living spaces are integrated from the first design conversation — not bolted on as afterthoughts.
Based in Hurst and serving the full metroplex, Selah is a Pinnacle Award–winning builder with top-rated Google reviews from families across DFW. Pool season in North Texas runs year-round for design and planning, with construction typically spanning 8–12 weeks from excavation to completion.

Common Questions About Custom Pools in DFW
How much does a custom pool cost in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?
Custom pool projects across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex typically start around $65,000. Costs vary based on design complexity, property conditions, and features like spas, water features, and outdoor living elements. Properties in different parts of the metroplex have different soil profiles and access conditions, which can affect preparation costs.
We begin every project with a free on-site consultation. Your designer visits your property, understands your vision, and delivers a transparent proposal — no surprises, no hidden costs.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in DFW?
Yes, every city in the DFW metroplex requires a building permit for residential pool construction. The specific requirements and inspection schedules vary by municipality — Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, and suburban cities each have their own building departments and code requirements.
Selah Pools handles the entire permitting process regardless of which city your property is in. We have working relationships with building departments across the metroplex and know the specific requirements for each jurisdiction.
How does Selah's design process work for custom pools?
Selah's design process centers on collaborative exploration between designers and clients to understand not just what you want to build, but how you'll live in the space. The Hendrix project exemplifies this approach, where Caleb worked closely with the family to translate their vision into architectural reality through thoughtful conversation and expert guidance. Each design phase builds on the previous one, with our designers bringing both technical knowledge and aesthetic sensibility to every decision. This ensures your outdoor living space feels uniquely tailored to your lifestyle while meeting performance standards for lasting enjoyment.
How long does a custom pool and spa project typically take?
Most custom pool and spa combinations require eight to twelve weeks from excavation to completion, depending on feature complexity. The Cedillo project's raised custom spa required additional structural work including specialized gunite detailing with half-inch steel reinforcement, which adds time but ensures lasting quality. We coordinate all phases from excavation through final glass tile installation, managing each step to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our approach keeps construction on schedule while maintaining the attention to detail that distinguishes Selah craftsmanship.
