Michael Van Cleave Jr.
"When you call this number, you're talking to the guy holding the shovel."
Michael founded GoodTimes Gunite Pools in 2010 after years working in the North Texas construction trades. He chose gunite because it's the strongest, most versatile residential pool structure available — and because building something that lasts matches the way he works.
The business is intentionally small. Michael turns down builds he can't personally oversee. Every project on the GoodTimes schedule is a project Michael has walked, quoted, and committed to managing himself — from the first shovel to the startup chemistry walkthrough.
That means when you call (817) 449-3225, you're calling the person who'll be standing on your property at 7 AM on dig day. Same phone number. Every time.
Owner on Every Job
Michael personally manages every build — no project coordinator, no subcontracted foreman you've never met.
Fixed-Bid Pricing
The quoted price is the price. Change orders only happen when the scope changes — and only with your approval in writing.
3D Renders Before Digging
You see the finished pool in full 3D detail — day and evening passes — before a shovel touches your property.
Long-Term Relationships
Michael builds pools in neighborhoods he knows. His reputation in Johnson and Hood County is the business — and he protects it on every job.
