About the Business
This pools & spas business completes new construction and or renovations of residential swimming pools, along with renovations of commercial pools. The business will build pool surrounds but does not engage in landscaping.
Established 35 years under the same ownership Mountain View Pools has grown purely by word of mouth, referrals, and recommendations.
They provide pool build services either through a builder or direct in some cases.
Contracts are fixed prices with variations and quotes provided from engineer-drafted plans (the engineer's relationship dates back decades as do many of the relationships that the business enjoys.
Typical with the public, deposits are taken and a QBCC contract is signed with a suggested progress payment plan.
The wait time in the last years was 4 to 5 months from signing a contract, this year they are still running 2 to 3 months. This is testimony to the quality and service approach to their craft.
The philosophy is straightforward to their success – don't hide from the customer (the owner visits every site, every day when something is happening). The key is the customer interface and the philosophy that if something needs fixing in the process do it and worry about who going to pay later. Of course, under their QBCC contracts, any variations are covered.
It is a husband-and-wife team with the wife invoicing and paying accounts.
QBCC Insurance protects the customer and the builder if the customer can't pay. Every job carries a policy. No claims as such in history.
They build between 60 to 80 pools a year comfortably and provides comfortable living to the owners.
