Spring is in the Air
There is a very specific moment in Southeast Texas when the air changes. It usually happens right around now, in early March, when that heavy, wet winter chill finally decides to pack its bags and head north. Suddenly, the thermometer is nudging past 80 degrees, the humidity is just high enough to make the jasmine smell sweet but not so high that you feel like you’re breathing through a warm washcloth, and the sun feels like an old friend you haven't seen in months.

At Timeless Pools, we've seen both ends of this spectrum. We've repaired pools that were barely five years old because corner
