Your Local Portland Pool Builder
Portland sits right on the bay, and that proximity to the water shapes how we approach a build here. Closer to the coast, we run into water table conditions more often than inland parts of our territory. When that happens, well points go in to manage the dig. That typically adds a minimum of $7,500 to the project, and it’s not something we can predict from the road. It comes up once we’re on site.
Beyond that, Portland gets the same build quality as the rest of our territory: steel-reinforced gunite construction, a design team that meets you in person to walk your actual yard, and a turnkey proposal so you know exactly what’s included before you sign anything.

Gunite is what most Portland homeowners choose, and it’s not close, about 90% of our territory picks gunite. It gives us full control over shape and depth, which matters on bay-adjacent lots where the yard itself isn’t always a clean rectangle.
Gunite pools here start around $55,000, with most finished projects averaging closer to $85,000 once decking, water features, and other upgrades are factored in.
Fiberglass is available and starts around $60,000, but it’s a harder fit on a lot of Portland properties. Fiberglass shells need concrete poured all the way around the shape, and smaller or irregular lots near the water usually can’t accommodate that. Most homeowners who go fiberglass already know it’s what they want going in.
A number of Portland’s pools have been in the ground for years, and salt air near the bay can be tougher on finishes and hardware over time. We handle resurfacing, retiling, and equipment upgrades, and since we only install pebble interior finishes, a remodel here means a more durable surface than what may have been original to the pool.

Portland Territory
Portland & Surrounding Areas We Serve
We build inground pools in Portland, Gregory, Taft, Ingleside, and the surrounding San Patricio County communities.
Most HOAs across this part of the territory allow pools. Approval isn’t usually a problem as long as we stay clear of public utility easements and meet setback requirements. We build across a range of lot conditions here too, from tighter in-town properties to larger lots further out, and bring the same care to each.

Portland FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Portland homeowners about building a custom inground pool with Premier Pools & Spas.
Gunite pools start around $55,000, with most finished projects averaging around $85,000 once features are added. Fiberglass starts closer to $60,000. Your final number depends on size, decking, and any water or fire features you add.
Portland’s proximity to the bay means groundwater sits closer to the surface than it does further inland. When we hit it during excavation, we install well points to manage the dig, which adds a minimum of $7,500 to the project.
Once your contract is signed, dig to swim day runs 7 to 9 weeks. Getting to that point takes another 1 to 3 weeks for permitting and HOA approval where applicable.
Yes, about 90% of our jobs across the territory require a city permit, and Portland is no exception. We handle the entire permitting submission on your behalf, and most cities in our area approve within 1 to 3 weeks.
It can be, but many bay-adjacent lots here are too tight or irregular to pour the concrete surround a fiberglass shell needs. Gunite tends to fit these properties better, which is part of why it’s the more common choice in this area.
Most of our customers choose a depth between 3.5 and 5.0 feet. It’s a practical range for a mix of ages using the pool, without going deeper than most backyards actually need.
