Before
After
A lot of Waxahachie properties — especially older homes on the US-287 corridor and established subdivisions south of I-35E — have pools that were built 15 to 25 years ago. They still function, but they look and feel dated. Our pool renovation services cover the full scope: resurface, retile, replaster, add water features, upgrade equipment, and modernize the whole package.
We also handle pool additions — adding a spa, extending a deck, or adding a tanning ledge. If your pool needs more than maintenance but doesn’t need to be replaced, renovation is almost always the better investment. Learn more about our pool renovation services.
Waxahachie is growing. New apartment developments, HOA communities, and commercial properties are going up across Ellis County — and they need a commercial pool builder with the project management capability to deliver on time and on spec. Venture Custom Pools has the licensing, experience, and crew capacity for large commercial builds, with our local Waxahachie office providing direct access to Ellis County projects.
We handle full commercial design and construction in-house — code compliance, commercial-rated equipment, ADA accessibility requirements, and municipal inspection coordination all managed by our commercial team. Not residential work scaled up.

Building a custom pool in Waxahachie isn’t exactly the same as building one in Frisco or Allen. The soil profile in Ellis County runs clay-heavy in some areas, which affects foundation design. Lot sizes tend to be larger — great for ambitious designs — but your pool contractor needs to think about drainage, setback requirements, and how the pool integrates with the full property.
Permits for new pool construction in Waxahachie go through the City of Waxahachie Building Inspections division. Ellis County has its own jurisdiction for properties outside city limits. We’ve pulled permits through both and know the process. Curious about pool financing? We can walk you through options at your free consultation.
How long does it take to build a custom pool in Waxahachie? From signed contract to first swim, most Venture builds in the Waxahachie area run 8–16 weeks depending on design complexity, scope, and permit timing. Our construction managers are known for aggressive scheduling — several Waxahachie-area clients have been swimming in 4–6 weeks after groundbreaking when conditions allow. Our local US-287 office means there’s no commute overhead — we’re already here.
A clear, communicative build process — from the first conversation at our Waxahachie office to the day you take your first swim. Want to learn more about our team before you call? Read about Venture Custom Pools.

Our designers produce a photorealistic 3D rendering of your pool — including any outdoor living additions — so you see exactly what you’re getting before a single shovel hits the ground.

We walk you through every system, explain operation and maintenance, and hand over a pool that’s ready to enjoy. Post-construction support is part of the deal.

Custom pool pricing in Waxahachie starts around $60,000 for our Designer Pool Series and scales through our Luxury Series ($80K–$200K) and Estate Series ($200K+) depending on size, features, and outdoor living scope. Waxahachie lots often allow for larger designs that would be impossible in denser DFW suburbs, so many Ellis County clients end up in our Luxury tier once they see what’s possible with their space. Pool financing is available. Call (469) 214-7328 to get started.
City of Waxahachie Building Inspections permit timelines typically run 2–4 weeks for residential pool construction.

We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling for every Waxahachie build — you don’t need to interface with the building department directly.
Absolutely — some of the most interesting builds we do are on larger Ellis County acreage. Rural and semi-rural lots give us the ability to plan for natural drainage, setback flexibility, and designs that integrate with the landscape in ways that smaller suburban lots don’t allow. We handle complex custom installations including pools with unique hydraulics, engineering requirements, or site-specific challenges. See our custom pools page or call (469) 214-7328 to discuss your property.

“We reviewed and met with several pool companies in DFW but when we had our first meeting with Andy we knew Venture was the company for us. Brett took care of everything quickly and all of the work is of the highest quality. Venture exceeded expectations and got our pool done in 3 months from start to first swim.”
Ryan J. — Google Review“Venture pools allowed us to pick out much more customization than the other places, and at the best price. Ken Green was very responsive and helped us sign the contract. Once construction started, Bret our project manager had the pool installed in a matter of weeks, ahead of schedule, and with zero complications.”
kg013154 — Google Review“Within four weeks, our pool was complete. Yes, four weeks and swimming. When you have a good manager that stays on top of his crew, backed by a good company, this is the result. Our pool is beautiful — it’s even better than we thought it was going to be.”
