Company Background
About Platinum Pools
Platinum Pools is best known as a builder, and most of its 511 Google reviews come from families who had a new pool dug. It earns a spot on this list because it also runs its own pool care and maintenance department and a remodel division from its Houston office at 4500 Blalock Road, in the Fairbanks industrial park near the Northwest Freeway. The company is part of Cody Pools, and its staff page lists Mike Church as president and CEO of both.
The service page lays out a weekly plan that includes chemicals at no extra charge, a dedicated cleaner, and a full-time supervisor who checks the work. Each visit covers checking and adjusting chemicals, skimming, vacuuming, brushing walls, floor and tile, emptying baskets, backwashing or cleaning filters and checking equipment for leaks. The page says the service team are PHTA Certified Pool Operators and that employees pass background, work history and driving record checks. It also says residential maintenance is available in select Houston areas, while one line refers to the greater Austin area, so confirm your address is covered. The remodel division, led by general manager Mike Marcum, handles resurfacing, tile and coping changes.
Reviewers praise designer Buddy Harrott and project managers Desmond and Anthony Tohill on builds, and one names Arturo for a patient pool startup class. Some build reviews mention delays between stages. Platinum Pools holds 4.5 from 511 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026, at the minimum rating for this list.
Platinum suits owners whose pool it built, and buyers who want weekly care from a builder that includes chemicals in the price. It suits less well owners outside its service zones or anyone who wants reviews that speak mainly to cleaning. Before booking, confirm your neighborhood is on a route, ask what the weekly price covers, and check any equipment technician's TDLR licence.
