About Tallman Pools

Serving Southeast Texas Since 1976

Tallman Pools is a family-owned swimming pool company serving homeowners throughout Southeast Texas. We have helped families plan, build, and care for swimming pools with a focus on proper construction, reliable systems, and long-term use.

Tallman Pools was founded in 1976 by Bruce Hinds Sr. and his wife, Jo Beth, with a simple goal: to build something of their own and do it the right way. Rooted in integrity and hard work, the company began as a local retail operation and grew steadily by focusing on quality, consistency, and long-term relationships.

A Steady Approach Built on Experience

For decades, Tallman Pools has remained committed to doing things the right way. We do not chase trends or shortcuts. Instead, we rely on proven construction methods, quality materials, and careful planning to deliver pools that perform as intended over time.

Our team understands the unique conditions of Southeast Texas and how they impact pool design, construction, and maintenance. That local knowledge helps guide decisions that support durability, safety, and ease of ownership. That steady approach was shaped early on through years of hands-on service work, where long-term performance and reliability mattered more than speed or trends.

Continuing the Tallman Legacy

Bruce Hinds continues the legacy of Tallman Pools with a steady commitment to quality, service, and long-term customer relationships. Raised around the business and its values, Bruce brings hands-on experience and a deep understanding of pool construction, service, and day-to-day operations.

He remains focused on maintaining the standards established when Tallman Pools was founded in 1976. His approach emphasizes thoughtful planning, reliable workmanship, and clear communication with every homeowner he serves.

As owner, Bruce stays actively involved in the company’s operations, ensuring that each project reflects the experience, consistency, and integrity that Tallman Pools is known for throughout Southeast Texas.

Bruce’s experience is rooted in direct, hands-on work. Over the years, he has personally excavated, tied steel, shot gunite, completed plumbing installations, set tile and coping, plastered, and performed concrete work. His initiative and leadership led to the expansion of Tallman Pools into custom gunite pool construction, playing a key role in the company’s growth and development.

The Tallman Pools Promise and Commtiment


A Family-Owned Business Built in Southeast Texas

Tallman Pools was founded in 1976 by Bruce Hinds Sr. and his wife, Jo Beth. At the time, Bruce Sr. was working full-time as a branch manager in the bearing industry. The Hinds family had strong entrepreneurial roots, with earlier generations building their livelihood through hard work and self-reliance. Building something of their own was important to Bruce Sr. and Jo Beth, and Tallman Pools began as a local retail operation grounded in integrity, consistency, and steady work.

From Retail Roots to Full-Service Expertise

Over the decades, Tallman Pools expanded into a full-service swimming pool company, offering construction, remodeling, service, cleaning, and retail support. With a long-standing brick-and-mortar presence, the company has built relationships that extend well beyond the initial project.

While others have entered the market and moved on, Tallman Pools has remained a consistent presence in Southeast Texas, focused on doing the work right and standing behind it.

Built on Integrity, Quality, and Service

Bruce Tallman Jr. was raised in the pool industry and spent years working on the service side of the business. That hands-on experience shaped how Tallman Pools approached every aspect of its work.

When custom gunite pool construction was added, lessons learned through maintaining and repairing pools directly influenced design decisions, construction methods, and material selection. Long-term performance, quality, and customer satisfaction were always the priority.

Built for Long-Term Relationships

We hope homeowners experience trust and continuity when they choose Tallman Pools. From the first conversation, our goal is for homeowners to feel confident they are working with a company that will stand behind its work and remain present long after construction is complete.

A pool is not a one-time project. It must be maintained, serviced, and cared for over time. Our goal is to be a partner homeowners can rely on throughout the life of their pool, not just until the job is finished.

Tallman Pools proudly serves homeowners throughout Southeast Texas, including Nederland, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Lumberton, and surrounding communities.
