Three Ways Texans Fund a Pool

There's no one right answer. The best route depends on your home equity, timeline, and how you like to borrow. Here's how our clients usually do it.

Home Equity / HELOC

Usually the lowest rates and longest terms because your home secures the loan. Interest may be tax-deductible when the funds improve your home. Ask your tax advisor.

Our Financing Partner

Lyon Financial

A specialty pool lender since 1979, with no lien on your home and closings in days rather than weeks. We're an approved Lyon contractor, so applying through the link below connects your project to us automatically.

Apply with Lyon Financial (opens Lyon Financial's secure application in a new tab)

Cash & Draw Schedule

Paying cash? Our projects bill in stages tied to construction milestones: design, excavation, gunite, finish. Your money moves only as your pool takes shape. Financed projects fund the same way, with each stage released by your lender as it's completed.

Financing Through Lyon Financial

You apply directly with Lyon. We're not permitted to apply on your behalf, and we'll never ask you for your Social Security number, income, or banking information. Here's how the process runs from application to finished pool.

  1. 1

    You Apply

    You submit your application on Lyon's secure site. Using our link connects it to your Aquatic Pools project automatically.

  2. 2

    Lyon Approves

    Lyon reviews the application and contacts you directly once the lender issues a conditional approval, then confirms your final numbers.

  3. 3

    Clear to Start

    After you sign your loan documents, Lyon sends a Clear to Start Construction notice to both of us. No work begins before it arrives.

  4. 4

    We Build in Stages

    Your loan funds each milestone as it's finished and photo-verified, with at least 10% held back until your pool is complete and you've signed off.

Apply with Lyon Financial (opens Lyon Financial's secure application in a new tab)

Lyon Financial is an independent third-party lender. Aquatic Pools is not a lender, does not offer credit, and does not accept or submit loan applications. All applications are completed and submitted by the applicant directly to Lyon Financial, and all credit decisions, rates, and terms are theirs alone. Approval is not guaranteed.

Pool Loans in the Bay Area

What the numbers tend to look like around here, and how the loan lines up with the build.

Start from a real project range

Custom gunite pools in League City, Friendswood, Pearland and the surrounding Bay Area generally run $60,000 to $150,000 and up. Size, finish, an attached spa, decking and water features move that number more than anything else. Put your realistic range into the calculator above rather than a round guess. A $20,000 swing in project cost changes the monthly payment enough to change which loan makes sense.

Equity or unsecured, and why it matters here

Plenty of homeowners in this area have owned long enough to have real equity, which makes a home equity loan or HELOC the cheaper path. It takes longer to close and puts a lien on the house. An unsecured pool loan through a specialty lender closes in days at a higher rate and leaves the house alone. Run both through the calculator and compare the total interest, not just the monthly number.

Line the loan up with the build

Our builds run 30 to 60 days once we break ground, and financed projects fund in stages tied to construction milestones rather than in one lump at the start. Get your approval in place before design and permitting finish. Waiting until the crew is ready to dig is what pushes a start date, not the construction schedule.

Estimates only. Your rate, fees and approval come from your lender, not from us.

Common Questions

Pool Loan & Financing FAQ

Common questions about financing a custom pool in the Houston Bay Area

Does Aquatic Pools offer financing?

We're not a lender and we don't finance projects in-house. We are an approved contractor with Lyon Financial, a specialty lender that has financed pool and backyard projects nationwide since 1979. You apply directly with Lyon, they handle approval and funding, and we build. Many of our clients instead use a home equity loan, HELOC, or cash-out refinance, and we're glad to talk through either path during your free consultation.

How do I apply through Lyon Financial?

You apply yourself, directly on Lyon's website. Use the Apply with Lyon Financial button on this page and your application is automatically linked to your Aquatic Pools project. Lyon reviews it and contacts you once a conditional approval comes back from the lender. We're not permitted to fill out or submit an application on your behalf, and we never ask for your Social Security number, income, or banking details.

How does a financed pool project actually get paid out?

Once you're fully approved and your loan documents are signed, Lyon issues a Clear to Start Construction notice to both you and us. That's the green light, and no work begins before it. From there the project is funded in stages tied to construction milestones, with each stage released after Lyon receives photo verification that it's complete. A final payment of at least 10% is held back until your pool is finished and you've signed off on it.

What credit score do I need for a pool loan?

Most unsecured pool lenders look for a score of 650 or higher, with the best rates typically reserved for 700+. Home equity products depend more on your available equity and debt-to-income ratio. Every lender is different. The calculator above lets you test how different rates change your monthly payment.

How long can I finance a swimming pool?

Typical terms run 5 to 30 years. Unsecured pool loans usually top out around 15 years, while home equity loans and cash-out refinances can stretch to 20 or 30 years with lower rates. Longer terms mean a lower monthly payment but more total interest paid.

Is a home equity loan or a pool loan better?

Home equity loans and HELOCs usually offer lower rates and longer terms because your home secures the loan, but they take longer to close and put your home on the line. Unsecured pool loans close fast, often within days, with no lien on your home and a somewhat higher rate. The right choice depends on your equity, timeline, and comfort level.

Can I get a pool loan in League City or Friendswood?

Yes. Pool loans are underwritten on your credit, income and equity, not on which Bay Area city you live in. We build across League City, Friendswood, Pearland, Texas City, Galveston and Houston, and clients in all of them finance through the same routes: a home equity loan or HELOC, an unsecured pool loan through a specialty lender like Lyon Financial, or cash on a draw schedule.

What is the monthly payment on a $75,000 pool?

It depends on your down payment, rate and term, which is what the calculator above is for. Enter your numbers and it returns the monthly payment, total interest and payoff date instantly. As a rough sense of scale, a longer term lowers the monthly payment and raises the total interest, sometimes by tens of thousands over the life of the loan.

How accurate is this pool financing calculator?

It's an estimate, not a quote. The calculator uses a standard fixed-rate amortization formula, so the math is exact for the numbers you enter. Your actual rate, fees, and approval depend entirely on your lender and credit profile. Use it to compare scenarios, then confirm real terms with a lender.

Just had these guys build a second pool for me. The experience was exactly the same as the first time. Perfect. They have a awesome 3d rendering of the pool so you know exactly what you are getting. The team around the owner is great and they guide you through the process.

Fantastic build! Like, actually fantastic as in fantasy like. We absolutely love our pool! It was built well, and what little has occurred after the build (a light went out, the bridge got warped by wet summer) they've covered under warranty efficiently and thoroughly. The price we paid is reflected in the build quality and service.

Great company, very professional, awesome work. Although we had some set backs they always came thru. Any issues or concerns we had were addressed and taken care of. Our pool is completed but we still get great customer service from them on any questions or issues we have. We are so happy with our pool, we love it.
