Modern Pools built our pool in 2004, and we have enjoyed it ever since. They have a unique and creative vision that we experienced on our project, as well as many others we have seen them do. They created a vision within our budget and time frame- what more can you ask for! Highly recommend Modern Pools to anyone looking for a custom pool design!

I have done the excavation for Modern Pool Co for many years and it has been a pleasure to work with them. They are great responsible people and in the many times that I have worked with them I have really enjoyed it. The designs that Modern Pool has to offer are always incredible and if you want to build your dream pool I really recommend Modern Pool Co.

Our company, Crowell Builders, has worked with Modern Pools in the past and the end product was stunning. This will be my first experience with Modern, and so far its off to a great start. While I have interacted with Keli and Jeff, so far the majority of my interaction has been with the owner - Jan. Its great to have this direct line of communication. Jan is knowledgeable, presents a great product (past work, rendering, proposal, and permit drawings), and appreciated by all (us, architects and owner). We look forward to implementing their beautify design over the next year. Sincerely, Jack

Modern Pools built our pool a number of years ago. It was a great experience and we continue to use and love it everyday. As an architect, I will always recommend Modern Pools for every project that comes our way.

There is no more beautiful, functional or well-built pool than a Modern pool. Jan knows more about pool design, technology, materials and implementation than anyone I have ever met. He and Keli manage their people and projects to their own exceptional standards. If you are OK with average, go somewhere else. If you want a pool that will make you the envy of your friends and show up in design magazines and Instagram, go with Modern.
