From a fresh custom build to a complete remodel of a pool that's seen better days — Michael and Jeb design it, build it to standards beyond code, and walk you all the way to pool school.
Michael Shelton has spent 15+ years in the pool industry — more than a decade of it right here in Austin and the Hill Country — and carries the CBP Certified Pool & Spa Building credential. Jeb Eubank leads design, listening first and drawing the layout around how you actually live outside.
That's the whole pitch: a small, accountable team that builds past the minimum. Extra waterproofing membranes. Cleaner estimates with real options. The same two people from the first walk-through to pool school.

Real Pool Sharp projects across Dripping Springs and greater Austin — new builds and full remodels alike. Every photo here is a job we built and shot ourselves.
New construction and remodels under one roof. Whether you're starting from bare dirt or rescuing a tired 90s pool, it's the same team and the same standard.
Designed around your lot and how you live outside — gunite shell, custom geometry, finishes that hold the Hill Country light.
A complete rebuild of an aging pool — shell, plumbing, finishes, deck. The job most builders won't touch, done right.
Compact cold-plunge and small-footprint pools for tight Hill Country lots and courtyard backyards.
Pebble and quartz re-plaster that brings a dull, chalky interior back to glass — with extra waterproofing built in.
New waterline tile and coping replacement — the fastest, highest-impact refresh a pool can get.
Cool-deck resurfacing, travertine, turf, and stone — the surround that makes the whole pool feel finished.
No surprises. No subcontracted mystery. Michael runs the build, Jeb owns the design — and they stay on it from the first phone call to pool school.
Built into the pool from day one — engineered into the plumbing, the gunite, and the deck. None of it is bolt-on.
Gas, electric, or solar. Year-round usable Hill Country pools.
Gentler on skin, lower maintenance, cleaner long-term water.
Pentair, Jandy, or Hayward systems controllable from your phone.
Stone-face spillovers, sheet falls, bubblers, and scuppers.
Gas fire pits, fire bowls, and integrated sauna retreats.
Shallow 9–12″ shelves with deck-mounted umbrellas, built in.
Raised spas with cascading sheet spillover into the main basin.
Pebble Tec, Pebble Sheen, and quartz aggregates that last.
Decks, turf, fire, sauna, and stone — we build the whole backyard as a single project, with a single crew, on a single timeline.
The deck makes the pool. Travertine for cool-underfoot Hill Country summers, low-maintenance turf inlays, and hand-set stone — laid as one continuous surface around the water.
Gas and wood fire pits built into seating walls, fire bowls on raised plinths, and full sauna retreats off the deep end — the details that make the backyard work after sundown.
Raised spas with sheet-flow spillover, stone-face waterfalls, and deck-level scuppers — engineered into the plumbing, not added on after the fact.
Custom step layouts, tanning ledges, and coping profiles cut to the geometry of your pool — the edges your feet and eyes touch every single day.
Michael Shelton runs construction — 15+ years in the trade, 10+ of them in the Austin and Hill Country area, and a CBP Certified Pool & Spa Building Professional. Jeb Eubank leads design and works alongside every client from first concept to final detail.
You don't get handed off to a salesperson and a foreman. You get the two people whose names are on the company, on every walkthrough, every drawing, and every problem the build throws at us.
Verified reviews from Pool Sharp clients on Google, Nextdoor, and Birdeye — and a 2022 Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite badge to go with them.

We come to you. The visit takes about 90 minutes — Jeb walks the property and sketches a first layout, and you tell us how you actually want to use the backyard. No fee, no pressure, no sales pitch.
From there you get the most detailed estimate in the business, against a real design. If it's a fit, we set a start date. If it isn't, you keep the sketch.
Based in Dripping Springs, building across greater Austin and the surrounding Hill Country. If your lot is in the area, we'll come walk it.
