The company was established with the primary objective of filling the gap that has been left open between the production swimming pool builders and the high-end custom builders in the Tampa Bay area. We recognize that there is a need for a professional contractor that understands and relates to the needs of each individual client. One area that we realize we must focus on is constant communication with our clients. We do this by creating an open communication channel that starts with the initial contact and continues right on through to the completion of the project and beyond. With the technology that we have at our fingertips, it is almost impossible to run a successful swimming pool construction company any other way. From our location in Trinity, Florida, we proudly serve Pinellas County, Pasco County, Hillsborough County, and the entire Tampa Bay area.

Report
When done properly, a remodel project will make your backyard more enjoyable now and increase its value over time. Unfortunately, we've all heard the horror stories about pool projects gone bad - unfinished projects, shoddy workmanship, longer-than-expected project durations, final bills that come in higher than the quote and more.

Kevin Shipp of Grand Vista Pools was integrally involved and maintained excellent communication through the entire process from design to excavation through completion. He was our only contact and exceeded our expectations in every step of the process. Our swimming pool is beautiful and I would choose them to do it again!

We are very happy with the pool your company built. The time frame was outstanding, scheduling could not have been better, and the overall craftsmanship was second to none. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job and if we ever need another swimming pool built you will be the only company we call even if we have to wait a year. If anyone asks, you are highly recommended. Thanks for everything.

Grand Vista Pool designed and installed our pool 10 years ago. Till this day, Kevin is one of the most attentive businessman I know. When things stop working, Kevin is always there quickly to save the day. The difference between Kevin and every other pool company is he is hands on and also GC. Everything he designs, he could do himself. Thanks for all the support through the years Grand Vista!

Kevin and his team at Grand Vista Pools helped turn our bland backyard into a shimmering Oasis! Grand Vista assisted us through the design process and delivered the pool on time and and on budget--even accommodating changes, additional design requests, and belated delivery of owner-ordered materials. On top of that, Kevin has been very responsive to any questions or issues we've had and still quickly returns our call over a year after the project has been complete. Go with GVP in confidence!

When we recently decided to add a pool to our home, we chose Grand Vista Pools and couldn't be happier with the finished product. I was initially working with another pool contractor but was frustrated with the 9-11 month estimated time to complete the project. I contacted Grand Vista after being referred by my outdoor kitchen contractor and then learning of a coworker that had a pool installed by Kevin years earlier. Kevin explained his process to us clearly and thoroughly at our initial meeting and was adamant that the project would be completed in 8 weeks once started.
Although we were fairly set on our design by the time we started working with Grand Vista, Kevin made helpful suggestions throughout the process that were incorporated into our final design. The project got underway exactly when Kevin told us it would at the initial meeting and was delivered in 8 weeks as promised. Grand Vista handled everything from the demo of our existing cage and deck to the new travertine deck and screen cage installation. Kevin even referred us to a great landscaping company and irrigation and lighting company that we engaged to complete our backyard transformation. We love our new pool and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kevin and Grand Vista to anyone considering adding a pool to their home.

Working with Kevin Shipp and his crew has been a wonderful experience. They constructed an oasis in our backyard with a beautiful pool, lanai, and bathroom. The compliments we receive on the design and results are never ending. Kevin is incredibly responsive to any contact or question we initiated. He has assured his crew's work is top notch and uses the best quality products in the build. We highly recommend Grand Vista Pools. Kevin is trustworthy, personable, and cares incredibly about his customer and work.

Kevin and his team did a great job on our pool. From our one of a kind custom design to the unique emerald Bay pebble tec color. He helped us get the natural oasis of a back yard we were looking for. It's been 10 years since we worked with Kevin on this project, and he is still super responsive and incredibly helpful. He is a man of his word and superior builder.

Grand Vista Pools is so far above average its simply amazing. They are the most professional pool company in the Florida area. My family LOVES our new pool and the quality of work is simply astounding. Kevin Shipp is one of the best project managers I have ever met and he and his team are super responsive in any form of communication you like including phone/email/text. If you are in the market for a high grade full pool renovation, there is no other pool company that can even come close to Grand Vista Pools.

We actually did a complete pool renovation to include, travertine, pool cage, pebbletec, new light in pool. also had mosaic dolphins with beach ball put in. We recommend Kevin 100%. Prior to hiring Kevin, we interviewed quite a few pool builders. The communication & schedule on pool renovation was outstanding. Any issues along the way, Kevin responded quickly & resolved any issue. All the workers involved in our renovation were kind, competent & thorough. Look no further, Kevin is the BEST in the business.

I wrote this to Kevin, the owner, upon pool completion: Hey, Kevin, I just wanted to give a final shoutout to you and your amazing work crews, especially all the Johns! Your timeliness in functionally completing the project within 7 weeks as promised was absolutely amazing (we'll thank the perfect weather in that time for some of that also), as was the attention to detail, allowing us to fix or change whatever wasn't right and always being responsive to our sometimes annoying needs, even on evenings and weekends.
All of this, during the heart of the craziest times, made it even more impressive. Your tile crew was especially wonderful - they were all very kind, professional, clean, respectful, and their attention to detail was impressive. The screen enclosure crew put up a beautiful structure as well and we love the panoramic view of the water behind us. Lastly, John, your main crew guy, has done whatever it takes to get the project to final completion and been around on a near-daily basis and we very much appreciated him from day one.
Thank you for bringing our pool project to life and giving us many years of outdoor enjoyment. We're so glad we chose you as our pool builder and will continue to refer anyone we know to Grand Vista Pools. As you can tell, we were extremely satisfied with our pool project. From first meeting Kevin to final punch list, we highly recommend him and his fantastic work crew.

Mr. Kevin has gone above and beyond on our expectations from the day we met. As many home owners who had multiple quotes, and designs from other pool companies. Kevin was able to incorporate and deliver uniqueness, functionality and timelines design besides the company work ethics and expectations. We talked to most employees and workers that were part of our pool building process and they had nothing but praise for Kevin and his work.
We were skeptical at the beginning on the time frame when the pool will be done because of the negative experiences from friends and neighbors. Hands down he delivered and not only finished the pool as planned but the craftsmanship, attention to detail, quality and the customer service is worth every penny in my opinion. Nothing but a GREAT EXPERIENCE!
