Our Journey as Houston's
Premier Pool Builders
Jim Monkemeier is the owner and operator of Creative Lifestyle Pools, headquartered in Cypress, TX. Jim was trained in custom swimming pools and holds a mechanical and industrial engineering degree as well as a master designer of pools. He also has a background in swimming, which together led to a marriage of several disciplines to create a successful business.
When it comes to providing expert custom swimming pools services, nothing takes the place of experience. Jim began working in custom swimming pools 50+ years ago and started Creative Lifestyle Pools in 1973.
One of Creative Lifestyle Pools’ goals is to provide their Harris County clients with professional, high quality, and affordable services. People often choose Creative Lifestyle Pools for custom swimming pool design and installation, because of their ozone water purification system which results in pool water so clean it is drinkable.
Jim has been a leader in the research and development of ozone for swimming pools and drinking water over the past 25 years.
Remember to inquire about the benefits of alkaline versus acidic water for the benefit of your health, safety and the longevity of your investment. These treatments also eliminate staining. The result, one of the most innovative and successful custom swimming pool companies in the Houston area!

We are 100% complete now and the pool and surrounding deck are beautiful. Every thing is work as planned. It has been a pleasure to work with Jim Monkemeier and Creative Lifestyle Pools.
Jim worked very close with my wife and I to assure that we ended up with the features and design we wanted. I'm very impressed with the crews he uses from the bobcat operator down to the guys finishing the pool and deck, they are all artist in my opinion.
Jim is very easy to work with and very responsive to phone calls, emails and texts. I will be recommending Creative Lifestyle Pools to our friends. Thanks again.

Jim Monkemeier and his company Creative Lifestyle Pools are top-notch in the industry. Jims’ attention to detail and design for his customer is beyond expectations. He said we would be swimming in thirty days, and we were!
All his crews were experienced, well-mannered and professional in their workmanship. Our property was always kept clean.
The self-cleaning ozone pool that Jim installed for us is very easy to maintain. Quality does not come cheap; however, it was worth every penny we spent, and we now have a WOW backyard!
— Mr. & Mrs. M., Missouri City, TX
Creative Lifestyle Pools promised a complete pool in 6 weeks, and I was swimming in my new pool in 4 weeks.
I am so thankful I selected Creative Lifestyle Pools as my pool builder.

Great experience with Creative Lifestyle pools. Jim builds a very quality pool in a great timeframe. Most importantly, he fixed any issues we had along the way and was very responsive.
He's a very hardworking and honest person. We really appreciate that he answers our calls anytime we have an issue and is responsive long after the pool is done.
Great company and definitely recommend.
We LOVE our pool so much!!!!! It is low maintenance and we LOVE it.
Amazing family memories.
- Carolyn D.
Great customer service.
- Christian B.
Jim, the owner, was fabulous with helping with the design of the pool and was always very responsive when we had questions and still is even though the construction of the pool is finished. Unfortunately the weather didn't always on our side, but the pool got done in a timely manner!
I would definitely use Creative Lifestyle Pools again.
- Toni H.
Jim was there every step of the way. He started by explaining the engineering of pool construction and introduced me to an ozone pool. He assisted with getting the paperwork to my HOA and even finding me a lender.
Construction began 8/6 and we were swimming by Labor Day. I know that the recent hot dry weather helped the construction schedule, but Jim managed the project well too.
I was very concerned about a grapefruit tree near the construction area and came home one day to find the workers watering it for me!
Jim was very responsive with questions, texts and calls. This is what an A contractor looks like!
- Janelle K., Richmond, TX
We love our ozone pool. Thank you for providing such a valuable technology so we can swim in fresh pure water without all those chemicals.
Your expertise in design created a paradise for us in our own backyard.
We are extremely happy with our pool.
I wish all businesses would treat their customers as you do and I will recommend you to all my friends and associates.
— Mr. & Mrs. D., Houston, TX
Jim did a wonderful job!
So very pleased with our new pool.
We especially love his attentiveness and is always available to answer questions.
Very good experience.
- Tucker W.
Jim Monkemeier is very knowledgeable and professional.
Great experience, looking forward to jump into my new Ozone Pool!!!
- Fernando A., Richmond, TX
Jim, the owner, is very responsive and kind. He came when he said would for the estimate and brought references. He gathered all the details about what we wanted and at our second meeting he had drawings, and computer designs ready for us to see.
Once we decided on the design, he was quick to submit all the HOA applications and drawings for us. Once it was approved, he started and got the project done quickly.
The pool he built us is alkaline and needs minimal chlorine. It’s also very low maintenance due to the equipment he chose to use. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the yard being torn up due to all the construction, but it was worth it.
Jim still answers all my texts with any questions I have for him.
- Erika B., Katy, TX
Absolutely amazing customer service and the work is stunning.

Purest Pool Water
in Texas
At the heart of Creative Lifestyle Pools’ success is the revolutionary ozone water purification system. Unlike conventional systems, this cutting-edge technology ensures pool water so clean it’s practically drinkable.

Ozone efficiently filters and ozonates the water, providing a highly sanitary environment without the need for constant adjustments or shocking.
