Our experience with Shavano Pools was a nightmare. They were punctual and got everything done quickly until we paid at gunite per the contract. Once they had their money that was the end of the progress. Our pool sat there for 6 weeks until they started working on it again. It was like pulling teeth to get anything done and it was only because we are down the road and could harass them in person that the pool was somewhat completed. The plaster has cracks and when Clyde's new plaster crew came out they even said it needed to... read more

Avoid Shavano Pools! We saw Shavano Pools at the Parade of Homes and thought they would be a reputable pool builder. This is not the case. They used to build a lot of pools in San Antonio when they were associated with a few builders, but now are down to a bare bones operation. We started construction over a year ago and still do not have a completed pool. The owner, Clyde Toscano, has stalled and stalled after getting paid as per the contract. He has high employee turnover, hires under qualified cheaper trades during constr... read more

Great Job – Shavano Pools built my pool in 2006. I have been extremely satisfied over the years with their quality, service and their honesty. If I ever have another pool built, it will definitely be a Shavano Pool.

KEEP LOOKING, – Do I have to give 1 star? 80% of the work was done by sub contractors. This may be OK, if they were watched by the pool company. We've had countless items stolen from out back yard by subcontractors Shavano Pool hired. Shavano's response is 'our hands are tied'...unacceptable. OK Pool design. They didn't offer much input and seemed to be clueless.. Terriable quality of work. They used cinder blocks to construct a raised wall. (the proper way to build a raised wall is to built it with the structure of the pool... read more

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. – Clyde and Jonathan are nice enough at first. Fairly good design, but as soon as gunnite is put in they are no where to be found. It was like pulling teeth to get them to come out and finish the job. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone. Lack of professionalism, craftmanship, and zero customer service focus. I would have paid the extra 2k to get a Gary pool in a heartbeat.

Well Done – My parents used this company about 7 or 8 years ago and had a great experience with them so my husband and I called them to build our pool. The salesman Jonathan was great and personable. Construction never goes as planned, but Jonathan worked very hard to make it as smooth as possible. My parents have had no problems with their pool and I am confident we will have the same results. I have referred both of our neighbors to them. Thanks for the hard work and coming out to our house late at night and on weekends!

Worst Pool Builder in San Antonio – I was told the pool would take between 10 -12 weeks to complete. It took 9 months to see water in our pool. That’s if you don't count the downpour we had 3 hours after the gunite was shot in. He collects 95% of the money when you think they are really doing serious work. That is when things slow to a snail’s pace. The receptionist runs interference for Clyde. Clyde rarely returns phone calls. Our patio was poured after dark which resulted in uneven colored concrete and many imperfections. ... read more

Excellent Design, Price, and Construction – We checked out over 6 custom builders and were blown off by several. Shavano Pools came out and drew a layout that matched our yard exactly. They then created a custom pool to wrap around our trees and house. The construction was always on time and never had any issues with workmen. They were polite and respectful of my property. Since the product was completed, the owner personally came out to make sure we knew how to upkeep the pool and equipment. Highly recommend them!!!
