HIPP POOLS, INC.

What HIPP POOLS, INC. does

Hipp Pools, Inc. is a family-owned custom pool design, construction, and service firm headquartered at 29418 FM 2978 Rd, The Woodlands, Texas, founded in 2003 by Stacy and Michael Hipp. The company serves residential homeowners across the Greater Houston area, with documented service coverage in The Woodlands, Spring, Houston, Tomball, Conroe, Montgomery, and Willis. Its core offering is custom gunite (shotcrete) pool and spa construction using high-pressure application over steel reinforcement, integrated with energy-efficient Zodiac and Jandy Pro Series equipment. The technical process spans consultation, 3D design visualization, excavation, steel reinforcement, plumbing, gunite application, electrical, tile/coping, deck, plaster, and a customer 'pool school' orientation, with an 8-week complimentary maintenance period following each build.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market built around in-home consultations and in-office 3D design appointments using a 70-inch LCD display, with no resellers or distribution intermediaries. Revenue is generated across four streams: project-based custom pool construction (one-time), custom water features (waterfalls, lazy rivers, swim-up bars, sheer descents, slides, beach entries) and outdoor living installations (kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas, pool houses), recurring weekly pool maintenance subscriptions, and equipment sales/repair anchored by Certified Zodiac dealer and warranty station status. Pricing is quote-based per project with no publicly disclosed rate cards, and average ticket is not disclosed.

Marketing combines a website with blog content and photo/video galleries, organic social media (Facebook, Google+, YouTube), paid Google AdWords and AdRoll remarketing, and customer testimonials and referrals. The company has maintained BBB A+ accreditation since 2004, is a member of Carecraft, and has been featured in The Woodlands Lifestyles and Homes magazine and Prime Living. Hipp Pools remains privately held by the Hipp family with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investment.
