What The Pool Company does
The Pool Company, Inc. (TPC) is a privately held commercial aquatic facility construction firm founded in 1997 in Oregon and now headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. The company designs, builds, and renovates commercial swimming pools and aquatic complexes for a diversified client base that includes municipal governments, K-12 schools and universities, healthcare and wellness centers, U.S. military installations, resorts and hospitality operators, and private clubs. Documented project contract values range from approximately $1.2 million to $2.9 million, and the company has delivered facilities across at least seven U.S. states including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Montana.
TPC's core technical offering is full-scope commercial pool construction executed through a design/assist/build delivery model. The company claims differentiated capabilities in three areas: a mandatory company-wide safety program with weekly on-site meetings and OSHA 30-certified key personnel; LEED-certified project experience including installation of energy-efficient aquatic systems and alternative energy solutions; and proactive preconstruction services with no-cost cost estimating. Proprietary process components are operational rather than technological — certified installation crews, long-standing subcontractor and supplier relationships, and a multi-regional delivery footprint. A secondary service line covers renovation, modernization, and post-construction service and maintenance, including education and training for client staff.
The business model is project-based fixed-price contracting on a per-project basis, supplemented by recurring service and maintenance work. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with municipalities, schools, healthcare, military, and nonprofit clients through project bidding, RFP processes, and referral relationships with architects, designers, and general contractors. The company employs 101-250 people, has no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and is described as founder/management-owned with Dwight Love as President and Brad Scott as Vice President. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or ownership changes are disclosed in the available data.
