The people behind it

A family business, building backyards in North Houston.

Skinner Pool & Construction was started by Ryan Skinner and his wife — a husband-and-wife business that grew out of the construction trade and into building the kind of backyards people actually use.

That shows up in how the work runs. Ryan is on the projects. The same company that designs your pool pours the deck, raises the pergola and wires the lighting, so there is one person to talk to and one set of standards from the first walkthrough to the final handover.

We build for homeowners across North Houston and Montgomery County — Montgomery, Conroe, The Woodlands, Lake Conroe and Spring — and almost everything we do is custom gunite, drawn for the lot it goes into.

One company designs it, builds it, and stands behind the finished backyard.

How we work

What one builder actually changes.

  • 01

    One builder for the whole backyard

    Pool, spa, decking, pergola and covered structures designed and built together — not a pool contract plus three subcontracts later.

  • 02

    Custom gunite, not a catalogue shape

    The shell is formed on site, so the pool is drawn for your lot rather than picked from a page of standard designs.

  • 03

    Owner-involved

    A family-run business — Ryan is on the projects, not just on the letterhead.

  • 04

    Local to North Houston

    We build in Montgomery, Conroe, The Woodlands, Lake Conroe and Spring — the lots, soils and inspectors we work with every week.

How a Skinner project runs

Designed once. Built by one company.

  1. 01

    Walk the property

    We come out, look at the yard, and talk through how you want to use the space — where the sun lands, where people sit, what has to stay.

  2. 02

    Design and proposal

    You see the pool, the deck and the structures together as one design, with a written scope, before anything is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    Excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, coping, decking and the surrounding structures — run by the same company start to finish.

  4. 04

    Finish and hand over

    Surface finish, equipment start-up, and a walkthrough of how to run and look after the pool before we leave.
