An HBW review of the latest pool permitting data and leading builders throughout Texas during the month of September 2018
In September, the combined Texas metro areas of Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio had more than 680 new swimming pool permits added to the HBW database. Out of the four major metro areas reviewed, Austin carried the highest average value of new pool construction (average value: $61,517), while Dallas held the lowest average value ($46,312) and the highest volume (358 permits) for the month.
When reviewing the leading pool builders for the one-month period, for the most part companies were specific to each region; that being stated, Cody Pools (Austin and San Antonio) and Anthony & Sylvan Pools (Houston, San Antonio and Austin) had some cross over and were on the leader board in two and three metro areas respectively.
