Since those humble beginnings, our team has grown into the pool contractors used in everything from celebrity mansions to local neighborhood hangouts – each focusing on building client trust, providing exceptional craftsmanship, and remaining on the forefront of custom pool innovation.

What sets Century Pools apart from the rest is our meticulous construction. We know backyard pools are more than a luxury. These are the treasured meeting places where memories are made, family events are held, and new beginnings are celebrated. That is why we carefully inject personalized experience into all our customer pools.

Our founder, Brian O’Neal’s legacy for incredible pool construction is continued through his sons Patrick, Michael, and Casey. These swimming pool contractors have design and construction in their blood, cultivating strong stewardship for embracing innovative design alongside traditional values.
