Look For Longevity in the Business

Being in business for many years says a lot about the builder. Builders that continuously fail to meet or exceed their customers' expectations don't stay in business for long. Longevity indicates that the company has achieved a high level of stability in the management and operation of the company and the delivery of their service.

The Clearwater Company has been building pools in the Midlands area of South Carolina for many years and is a longstanding member of the Elite Master Pools Guild.

Ask About the Builder's Reputation

Reputation is the strongest reference a builder can have. It can either make or break a builder. Pool owners have high expectations and are not shy about sharing their experience when asked.

The Clearwater Company has built many pools in the Midlands since 1985. Our clients trust us to fulfill their dream of owning a pool.

Does the builder belong to an industry organization or guild and build to industry standards?

One of the missions of an industry organization is to protect the reputation of the industry and to support its members. Industry organizations are very protective of their reputation, which is why they have established policies for their members. Builders who belong to organizations or guilds have to maintain the highest levels of professionalism to retain their membership. The Clearwater Company belongs to the Master Pools Guild, the Greater Irmo Chamber of Commerce, the Chapin Chamber of Commerce and The Home Builders Association of Greater Columbia.
