Custom Pools of Lubbock

Wow, a lot can happen in a year.  Last July 4th, Jay leaned over to me while we were watching a fire works show and said that he wanted to start a pool company. He said that he had been thinking about it and that there seemed to be a market for it. I peppered him with questions (like I always do) and then told him that I knew he could do it...even though I was pretty nervous since the most pool involvement he had ever had was swimming in one... He and his friend Jacob both had interest and decided to begin this venture together. Around December they started talking about company names and landed on Custom Pools of Lubbock. I had hoped that he would stick with the Paradise theme but he insisted on separating the pool company from his landscape company. His companies, his rules. Fast forward to this spring and things started getting real. Somehow without having ever built a swimming pool, Jay sold two pools back to back! They weren't just any pools either...they were both going to be showcased in the West Texas Home Builders' Parade of Homes!! I can't even explain the pressure on their shoulders to perform...it's like trying a brand new recipe at a dinner party x's 1000. Anyways--he pulled it off (of course) and did a phenomenal job. His pool and landscape in the Vintage Township neighborhood won the Outdoor Living award at the Parade Preview on Friday night!! I'm just so impressed and proud of his hard work and fearlessness. Here are a few pictures of the work.
