Your Outdoor Dreams
begins at sunset
Where craftsmanship meets connection — Sunset Pools Inc. designs and builds luxury pools and outdoor living environments crafted for Texas living and backed by certified expertise.
Since 2001, our second-generation, family-owned firm has completed more than 1,500 projects. With an average of 80 new projects annually— with most new clients coming from referrals and repeat homeowners — Sunset Pools continues to grow through trust and satisfaction... Every design reflects our promise of quality, transparency, and innovation.
The Benchmark for Pool and Outdoor Living Design.
For more than two decades, Sunset Pools Inc. has set the benchmark for pool and outdoor-living design across Katy, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond, Sugar Land, and Greater Houston.
Founded by Adam and Sonia Traugott, the company combines artistic design with structural expertise and a hands-on approach led by certified professionals.
Since 2001, we’ve partnered exclusively with Modern Method Gunite — Houston’s largest and most respected gunite and PebbleTec® installer — ensuring precision and durability in every project.
As a Certified Pool Builder through Genesis, the educational arm of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) that follows ANSI-accredited national construction standards, Adam Traugott leads a team committed to education, ethics, and excellence.
Sunset Pools is also a Google Guaranteed contractor and a proud member of the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) — reflecting verified insurance, safety, and trust.
“Our mission has always been to bring certified craftsmanship and honest design to every Houston backyard.”
— Adam Traugott, Certified Pool Builder (Genesis & PHTA)
Every Sunset Pools project begins with a complimentary 3D design consultation using Pool Studio visualization software, allowing clients to explore their future backyard through immersive renderings.
For select projects, clients can experience augmented-reality previews before construction begins.
Inside our 4,500-square-foot Design Studio in Katy, you’ll find a full-service selection center with curated materials — tile, coping, decking, and PebbleTec finishes — personally chosen by Sonia Traugott.
The studio offers a private, concierge-style environment with meeting rooms and a materials-visualization wall so homeowners can make confident, informed design decisions.
