Services
Fiberglass Pools
We install durable, pre-molded fiberglass pools that offer quick installation and low long-term maintenance. These pools resist cracking and fading while providing a smooth, non-abrasive surface. Our team ensures proper site preparation and customization to match landscaping and client preferences.
Concrete Pools
Custom concrete pools allow limitless design flexibility for unique shapes, sizes, and features. Our construction process includes steel reinforcement, shotcrete application, and premium finish options. We integrate advanced filtration systems and energy-efficient equipment for lasting performance and aesthetic appeal.
Pool Maintenance
Our maintenance programs keep pools clean, safe, and operational year-round. Services include water chemistry balancing, equipment inspections, cleaning, and seasonal opening/closing. We use industry-leading products to protect pool surfaces and mechanical systems while minimizing chemical exposure.
Pool Design
We create customized pool designs using advanced 3D modeling software to visualize layouts, features, and finishes. Our process considers property dimensions, usage patterns, and aesthetic goals. We collaborate with clients to refine designs before construction begins, ensuring alignment with their vision and budget.
Pool Renovations
We modernize aging pools with surface resurfacing, equipment upgrades, and feature enhancements. Our renovations address structural issues, improve energy efficiency, and update aesthetics. We work closely with homeowners to transform outdated pools into functional, visually appealing spaces that meet current safety standards.

Report
*BUYER BEWARE* We hired Glen (owner of Midwest Pools), to install new popl equipment and other associated plumbing work. Unfortunately we had an extremely poor experience with the quality of the work, and over priced equipment. He pressured us to purchase the equipment from his company, rather than sourcing on our own, which would have saved us tens of thousands. One of our heaters actually quit working in less than 6-months of purchasing, and he gave us the phone number to Pentair and wished us good luck.
Bottom line you must be aware that even though finding a good pool company is not an easy task in Kansas, we would not do business with Glen Westervelt, or any company he is associated with. He cannot be trusted, nor does he back up the poor workmanship by his employees. Make sure that you do plenty of research on the company and ask for multiple references before you get burned like we did.
