How I Became “The Poolman” By: Vance Calvin

I

n the beginning, as a boy, I earned extra money cutting lawns and doing odd jobs around my neighborhood in Jersey Village, Texas. At that time, I had no idea that meeting a lady by the name of Delilah would help choose the direction of my life.

She asked me to trim her trees, take care of her lawn and clean her pool. I told her I could handle the landscaping tasks but that I’d need instruction to clean her pool. Without hesitation, she showed me how to clean her pool and so began my long and winding road in the pool industry.

I started in the industry at the age of 15, and I am currently 47 years old. I literally started at the bottom and learned the trade from the ground up. Because of my background in the industry, I am able to design and engineer the most efficient, low maintenance and user friendly pools in the industry.

I love what I do for a living and it’s not just about earning a paycheck for me.

Most of my clients have become my friends. I can’t tell you how many pool parties I’ve been invited to and I can’t lie, it’s pretty cool being “The Poolman” at a pool party.

Word started to spread and I found myself cleaning several pools for other neighbors. Once I got my drivers license, I started cleaning more pools, and at one time I found myself cleaning 44 pools a week. It was a great job for a young guy. Spending the days outside with no boss looking over my shoulder.

As for our crews and permanent staff, most have worked with us for many years. We have forged a great bond and strong relationships with each other. Because of our relationships and dedication, our clients receive the best from our crews, without a doubt, on every job.

I tried a few other trades along the way, most of them construction related, but I always went back to pools and it quickly became clear that I was destined to be “The Poolman”.

There are many things we do differently than a typical pool company, because we believe that you can’t stay on top of the market if you don’t continue to absorb, learn and evolve with the industry. Over the years, I have developed, what I believe to be, the most free flowing, custom design and construction process in the industry. Our clients rave about the comfort, quality, professionalism and flexibility of the way we perform services for them.

In the past, I have worked for a couple of pool companies doing pool maintenance in areas like River Oaks, Memorial, West University Piney Point etc… As soon as I was given the opportunity, I branched off into repairs, filter cleaning and other pool related services.

When I was in my 20’s, I began to do some pool remodeling.

I started with replasters, then I took on some retile work, and before long I was doing complete pool renovations.

We are very proud of our long standing, great rating with the BBB and even more so of our very long list of satisfied clients from past to present. We are still standing strong due to our commitment to quality and true customer care, both during and after the construction process.

I really enjoy that facet of the industry.

Much of what I’ve learned over the years while remodeling, was an excellent learning experience and without it I would not be the pool builder that I am today. When you’re in the pool renovation industry, you get a lot of different things thrown at you and you learn how to be a great problem solver while creating something beautiful out of something old and outdated.

Our finished projects and continued efforts to provide continued service after the sale are our calling cards. We build everything to the top of the industry standard. If it’s not good enough for our home, it’s certainly not good enough for our clients.

For more information please give us a call at 936-689-6194 or visit our website at www.MontgomeryCustomPools.com

I still do remodels to this day, however my main focus is on new commercial and residential pool construction, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, fireplaces, fountains, water features and other outdoor amenities. www.homefocuspublications.com
