CLEAR BLUE POOLS
Award-winning pool company Clear Blue Pools has a brandnew showroom and is more poised than ever to provide the outstanding design, construction, and customer service Lowcountry customers have become accustomed to over the past decade. According to owner Mike Greer, the key to the company's success—particularly during the difficult economic climate of the last few years—is their firm belief in the old adage, "The customer comes first." It should come as no shock, then, that you'll be treated like a VIP when you visit the North Charleston showroom. 7110 Rivers Avenue, North Charleston (843) 300-4143 • clearbluepools.net
