Award-Winning Pool Builder San Antonio TX | 42 APSP Awards
Pool Concepts by Pete Ordaz is the most decorated custom pool builder in San Antonio. Since 1996 Pool Concepts has accumulated 42 regional awards from the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) — the nationally recognized industry organization that distinguishes exceptional design and craftsmanship in pool and spa construction across a region covering Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming. Of the more than 2,000 pool builders competing in APSP Region 3, Pool Concepts is one of only two San Antonio companies to receive an award in our most recent competition — and the only company in APSP history to sweep an entire category in a single year.

What APSP Awards Mean for San Antonio Homeowners
The APSP Region 3 Design Awards aren’t a local popularity contest — they’re a rigorous evaluation of design innovation, construction quality, and craftsmanship by industry professionals who build pools themselves. When Pool Concepts wins an APSP award it means that independent experts who understand what exceptional pool construction looks like have reviewed our work and ranked it among the best in a nine-state region. For San Antonio homeowners choosing between pool builders, 42 APSP awards over nearly three decades of competition is the clearest possible signal of sustained design and construction excellence. Most pool builders in San Antonio have never entered an APSP competition. Pool Concepts has been winning them since 1996.
