Custom Pool Construction
We design and build fully customized inground pools tailored to property specifications and client preferences. Our process includes initial consultation, 3D design review, permitting assistance, and construction using durable materials. Projects typically take 12-14 weeks, with timelines adjusted for complex features like waterfalls or elevated spas. Clients receive startup instructions, pressure guidelines, and maintenance recommendations for long-term enjoyment.
Pool Renovations
Our renovation services restore aging pools with structural repairs, surface resurfacing, and equipment upgrades. We address cracks, tile replacement, and outdated systems while enhancing aesthetics through modern features like LED lighting or decorative coping. The process includes assessment, proposal, and phased execution to minimize disruption. Financing options are available for major renovations requiring engineering or structural modifications.
Leak Detection
We identify and repair pool leaks using advanced techniques like pressure testing, dye tests, and visual inspections. Services cover plumbing leaks, shell cracks, and equipment malfunctions, with solutions ranging from sealants to pipe replacement. Emergency diagnostics are available, and clients receive guidance on recognizing common signs like increased water bills or wet yard patches. Preventative maintenance reduces future leak risks.
Pool Maintenance
Our ongoing maintenance plans ensure optimal pool condition through weekly cleaning, chemical balancing, and equipment checks. Technicians monitor filter pressure, backwash systems every 4-6 weeks, and perform seasonal adjustments. Services include algae prevention, tile cleaning, and winterization preparation. Clients receive routine reports and can schedule off-hour service visits when necessary. Filter deep cleaning is available as an add-on.
Winterizing Services
Winterization protects pools during cold weather through equipment shutdown, water level adjustments, and plumbing safeguards. Our technicians balance chemicals, drain lines, install covers, and secure equipment pads against freezing temperatures. The process follows manufacturer guidelines for heaters, pumps, and filtration systems. Clients receive detailed winter care instructions and transition tips for spring reopening. Emergency winter storm support is available for power outages.

Riverbend Sandler Pools just replaced all of our 15+ year old equipment and replastered our pool. The whole experience was excellent! The plaster installation was carefully managed to work around the winter weather extremes. The startup was an amazing operation to get ready for the upcoming low temperatures on a Saturday night. With Toms help on his weekend day off, RBS Service Department came that afternoon, started all the equipment, and avoided any concerns about the new equipment potentially suffering freeze damage the next morning. Alan, our Project Manager, has done an excellent job keeping

Great experience all the way from design consultation through service during the big Texas winter storm in 2021. Would definitely use them again if we ever need to build a pool again!

Tom came out to figure out why I had air in the system. He was on time, friendly and very knowledgeable. He diagnosed the issue and went over the options with me. He fixed it quickly and I have had no issues since. I highly recommend Tom and River Bend Sandler for your repairs.

We used Riverbend Sandler to replaster (aggregate) our pool and replace the coping and water feature. The team is professional and did a great job. We met with Cory who helped us understand the process and what to expect in terms of pricing and scheduling. Cory was great to work with and was very patient with our many questions. The team lead, Alan, was very responsive and I thought did a great job coordinating the groups who worked on our project (especially so given the challenges posed by Covid). I highly recommend Riverbend Sandler to anyone who needs their pool remodeled or replastered.

My Service Tech (Steven) was awesome! He was consistent/dependable and knowledgeable. Provided great tips on how to maintain my pool and what to look for. I couldnt have been as lucky as a first time pool owner. Unfortunately, they have new owners which mean higher prices moving forward. Thank you Steven, drop by anytime as my fur baby will miss you!

Tom and his team have been servicing our pool since it was built 26 years ago. He and his team have always been responsive to our needs. The work has been done on time and right the first time. We always follow any suggestions from Tom to keep our pool in great condition with sparkling water. We reached out to Tom after the freeze of 2020, he responded quickly, assessed the damage, told us what needed to be done, scheduled the repairs, came out on the scheduled date, and took care of all of the issues. I have 4 family members that have built pools with Riverbend Sandler and continue using Tom
