    The starting pool

    What’s included in a pool starting at $37,000?

    The starting price covers a complete, swim-ready gunite pool, not a shell with the rest sold later. It does not include concrete decking or a spa; both are priced below. Final pricing depends on design, site conditions, and selected features, and every inclusion and exclusion is written into your proposal before you sign.

    Design & planning

    • Site walk and consultation on your lot
    • Concept and 3D design for your property, at no charge
    • Engineered structural plans
    • Permit applications and HOA submissions prepared and sequenced (where a city charges a permit fee, the fee is the homeowner’s)
    • A written scope: inclusions, exclusions, and open decisions listed before you sign

    Pool construction

    • Gunite pool shell, two skimmers and six returns
    • Travertine coping and a tile allowance that includes glass
    • Tanning ledge with two bubblers, bench, and entry steps
    • White plaster interior
    • Automatic water leveler
    • Walkthroughs at each construction phase
    • Not included at the starting price: concrete decking (500 sq ft comes with every package below) and a spa (add one from $10,000)

    Equipment & startup

    • Pentair equipment: variable-speed pump, cartridge filter, chlorinator, and valves, with the exact models named in your written proposal
    • Two LED color lights in the pool
    • Smartphone control of the core functions
    • Electrical sub-panel if required
    • Startup water chemistry, orientation on the equipment, and a cleaning equipment set
    • One point of contact through startup, and after

    Not included unless it is written into your scope: irrigation, landscaping, or sod; utility relocation; a pool heater or pebble interior (available as upgrades); stone on the back of a raised wall. Conditions we cannot see before excavation are handled as a written change order with a price, before the work happens.

    Pool packages

    Three sizes, each with 500 sq ft of concrete decking

    Pick a pool size and the decking comes with it. Dimensions are the pool’s water area; the deck is the 500 square feet of concrete around it. Larger or custom shapes are priced by perimeter from the same scope.

    Find your style

    Different yards ask for different pools.

    Compact lots, big lawns, family layouts. A sample of the range we design and build across Greater Houston. Design renderings, labeled as such; project photography replaces them as projects close.

    How it works

    Three steps from first call to first swim.

    Each step ends with a decision that is yours to make. Nothing moves to the next one without it.

    1. 1

      Consultation & site walk

      We walk your property together and talk through your goals, the lot’s constraints, and your budget. You decide whether we are the right fit.

    2. 2

      Design & written scope

      We develop the design for your lot and document the inclusions, exclusions, and pricing in writing. You approve it before anything is scheduled.

    3. 3

      Construction & startup

      We coordinate construction phase by phase, walk you through each one, and orient you on the equipment at startup. Same contact, start to finish.

    Who you’ll actually work with

    A project manager who answers, from first walk to first swim.

    Astorga is run by its founder, Hector Aguiar. When you call, you reach the person responsible for your project’s design, schedule, and scope, not a sales floor.

    Every project runs through one accountable relationship. Thoughtful design, a written scope that says what it means, coordinated scheduling, and quality checks at every stage, from the first site walk through startup.

    You get one consistent point of contact, a written scope, and direct answers. That’s in the contract, not just the copy.

    Where we build

    Where we build: west and northwest Houston first, and across the metro.

    A Katy address can mean four different permitting offices. A Memorial address can mean its own city with its own tree rules. So each area we build in has its own page, with the permit path, the soil, and the HOA process spelled out.

    • West

      Katy and west Katy, Fulshear, and the Brookshire corridor. Master-planned communities with formal design review, and rolling ground in Fulshear that flat-prairie lots never see.

    • Southwest

      Richmond. Master-planned communities in unincorporated Fort Bend County, where the community’s design review is the approval that counts.

    • Northwest

      Cypress, Tomball, Hockley, and Waller. Mostly unincorporated Harris and Waller County. Expansive clay in Cypress, and a seasonal water table in Tomball that the dig gets planned around.

    • West Houston

      Memorial and the Memorial Villages. Each village is its own city, with its own pool packet and its own tree protection rules.

    • Northeast

      Kingwood and Humble and Atascocita. Houston permits in Kingwood, three jurisdictions around Humble, and wooded lots where the pines shape the plan.

    • South and bay

      Pearland and League City and Clear Lake. City permits in Pearland, then floodplain and windstorm rules as you get closer to the water.

    Common questions

    Common questions

    How long does a pool project take?

    It depends on design complexity, permitting and HOA review, weather, inspections, and how quickly selections are made. We don’t quote guaranteed durations. We walk you through the specific variables on your project before you sign, and we report progress at every phase.

    What happens when it rains during construction?

    Rain pauses certain phases like excavation, gunite, and decking, and Houston gets real rain. Weather days are built into how we communicate the schedule. You’ll know what a rain delay affects and what happens next, rather than wondering why nobody showed up.

    Who handles permits and HOA approval?

    We prepare and sequence permit applications and HOA architectural submissions as part of the project. Approval timelines belong to the city, county, or association. We set expectations honestly and keep you posted rather than promising dates we don’t control.

    How are changes handled once construction starts?

    In writing, with a price, before the work happens. A change order states what changes, what it costs, and how it affects the schedule. No verbal “we’ll work it out later.”
