Athens Pool Builders
Who we are
Athens sits between two lakes, Lake Athens just east of town and Cedar Creek Lake a short drive west. That shapes the kind of properties we build on here. Acreage and lake-adjacent lots are common. They carry more grade change than a standard suburban yard, which is exactly where sloped-lot planning matters most.
We build exclusively in gunite in Athens and across Henderson County. It handles custom shapes, benches, and water features better than fiberglass, without the price gap people usually expect.
We combine the tremendous buying power of a nationwide company with the kind of service you can expect from a family-owned business.
The Top Pool Builder in Athens
We give homeowners straightforward advice rather than steering them toward whatever’s easiest to sell. On a sloped or lake-adjacent lot, that means being upfront about whether a retaining wall or piers are needed before you commit to a design.
On decking, paver decks stay cooler and handle shifting soil better. Brushed concrete with a spray coating is the more affordable option, and it still drops surface temperature meaningfully in summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Athens homeowners about building a custom inground pool with Pinnacle Pools & Spas.
Often, yes. Properties near Lake Athens or Cedar Creek Lake tend to have more grade change than a standard suburban lot, which can mean a retaining wall or piers. We evaluate that during design, not after you’ve committed.
Fiberglass is often marketed at a lower price, but that’s usually because it leaves things out and comes with smaller equipment. Gunite lets us customize with benches and other features. Once everything’s accounted for, it’s close to the same price anyway.
If a permit is needed, expect up to three weeks before excavation starts. From there, excavation through interior finish runs 5 to 8 weeks, with weather the main source of delays.
Permits are generally required within incorporated city limits. Many properties around the lakes sit outside those boundaries, so requirements vary by exact location. We confirm what applies to your address before we start.
Heater chiller units are a growing request. A heat pump extends the swim season by about two months on each end. A chiller keeps water comfortable in July and August, when water temperatures hit 92 degrees.
