Experienced pool builders
Over 100 years of combined experience
It began in the 1950’s in Gulfport with Jack Thompson and his wife Johnny Mae, Steve’s (Owner) son’s great grandparents and owners of Thompson Brothers Pool Finishers. From there it went to H&H Pool Finishers and this is where Steve got his start in the business at the age of 18. Whether you are wanting to build a new pool, remodel an existing pool or would like to add in a spa, paver patio or outdoor kitchen, we are the right business to give you an exceptional designed outdoor living experience. No one builds pools faster and no customers are ever more satisfied. We are focused on ensuring you are informed every step of the way through design, permitting and construction.

In 1987, Steve began working for H&H Pool finishers in Pinellas County. In 2002, he started his own pool construction company in Central Florida and grew into a well-established custom pool company giving clients wonderful experiences in building their dream pools.
