About Pools and More

Pools and More – A Local Legacy in Paris, Texas

In 1999, Pools and More came to life under the guidance of Murray Fasken. Our transformation from a humble home design business, previously known for its diverse trades, to the most experienced pool company in town is a testament to our deep understanding of our community’s needs. Today, we proudly serve Paris, Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and the surrounding areas.

Situated in Paris, Texas, our roots run deep in the community. Over the years we have become the go-to source for pool expertise, specializing in building swimming pools, hot tub installations, pool service, and repairs, and operating a well-stocked retail store in Paris, Texas.

At Pools and More, our mission is crystal clear – we are here to efficiently and affordably create your ideal backyard retreat and a memorable spot for family gatherings.

With over 140 years of experience combined, this team can make having a pool dream come true.

Our design specialists work closely with your vision and available space to create a design that perfectly complements your home and lifestyle. With the help of our 3D visualization software, you can accurately envision the final look of your pool and backyard.
4. Extensive Referral Record: Upon request, we can provide an extensive list of referrals. Additionally, we’re more than happy to arrange a tour of the pools we have constructed to showcase our work.
5. Full-Service Team: After the completion of your pool, our service department is here to assist you in the care and maintenance of your swimming pool. Whether you prefer to learn how to maintain it yourself, occasionally require our assistance, or opt for weekly pool servicing, we have you covered.
6. Extensive Experience: We are an active member of the Pools and Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA), Watershape, and NPC. This ensures we stay up-to-date with the latest training and products, as well as have access to a wealth of industry knowledge at our fingertips.
7. Free Expert Advice: Feel free to reach out to us for expert advice, which is available at our store or over the phone. You can give us a call or stop by anytime for assistance.

You can visit our store to see our spa and loungers on display and have one delivered immediately. You can even create a custom spa that will be delivered to you.
10. No-Pressure Sales Philosophy: We aim to help you create your dream backyard with a consultative approach.
