We Want to be Your Pool Builder

Of all the improvements you can make to your home a swimming pool is probably the most dramatic... it doesn't just enhance the value of your property, it enhances the quality of your life.. Yet the most common questions people ask when considering a pool are, "how big should it be?", "how deep?", "what shape?" and "where should we put it?"  As important as these questions are, the key question is, "who should I trust to build it?"

Of course, we think the answer to that question should be us!  And the purpose of the following text is to explain why...

Over the years...
... a number of our clients have asked, "how in the world did you ever decide to become a pool contractor?  Good question!  After all it's not exactly the type of career a kid decides on when he's a little boy!  But the more we thought about it, the more we realized how perfect this job is: we enjoy creating things, and also enjoy making people happy.  We like art, science, nature, and technology.  And pool contracting pulls all of these disciplines together.  Hire a pool contractor who's missing any of these capabilities and chances are you'll be disappointed with the end result.  Your pool is a personal expression of who you are and how you live your life... You can do it with quality, excellence and style or you can hire someone whose attitude is that a swimming pool is nothing more than a hole in the ground filled with water.  Amazingly, the big difference between these two very different approaches to pool construction isn't price.  Yes, we make a profit on every pool we construct -- it's how we make a living.  In fact, a well designed, well-built pool that's custom-planned to fit your lifestyle may very well cost less than a job done by someone who cuts corners to "keep prices down."  Why?  Because a good pool contractor knows that his single most important asset is his reputation.  We believe quality is not expensive, it is priceless.

With pools, as with...
... everything else, there is a direct correlation between value and customer satisfaction.  If you hire us to construct your pool and are delighted with the craftsmanship and the value you received for your investment, what are you going to tell your friends when they ask about your pool contractor?.

We certainly hope you will tell them to call us!  We are very proud of the work we do, and we'll be happy to provide you with a list of our past customers so that you can call them and ask if they are satisfied with the value they received for their money.

Please ask us why...
... we use certain materials and construction techniques.  The more you know, the more you will understand and appreciate the value of your pool.  Also, for many people, it's just plain interesting!  We will work with you to schedule a time when you can observe the construction process if you'd like.

The emotional aspects to your pool...
... are very important, but they are hard to describe.  One good example is the shape and size of your pool.  We'll show you photographs of other pools and even arrange for a "tour" so that you'll feel comfortable with your selection.  Then, we'll mark out the dimensions at the actual location on your property.  If you want to make changes, it's a lot easier to do it this way than with a bulldozer!  But of all the things we'll do for you during the planning stages, perhaps the most important is also the simplest: we'll listen to your wants and needs to assure that the pool you get is truly the pool that's right for you.

It may sound ironic...
... but even with all of today's high-tech innovations, we believe pool contractors are akin to the craftsmen of long ago.  Working with our customers, we take ideas and concepts and translate them into physical objects.  Every element of design, every aspect of construction, every piece of material selected must work together to create something that is as attractive as it is functional.  Sure we use big machines, but essentially pools are built by hand, and each finished product is as unique as the company who builds it, and the people in that company that physically builds it.  To ensure that we are aware of the latest developments in good design, construction and maintenance, we belong to an association called the National Spa and Pool Institute (NSPI).

In addition to establishing ethical and professional standards, NSPI provides ongoing educational programs for its members.  To us, it's like the guilds that craftsmen established long ago.  Because of NSPI, you can be assured we are able to do a better job for you.

We truly love what we do and hope to have the opportunity to create your pool
