After 20, 30, or 40 years of carrying the phone, chasing payments, hiring crews, solving customer problems, handling permits, and putting out fires, most owners reach a point where they simply want out.

The problem is that very few have a real succession plan.
their reputation, systems, customers, and employees are worth something. but often there is nobody ready to take over.

We acquire and partner with established pool construction companies throughout the united states.

We acquire and partner with established pool construction companies throughout the united states.

Not to eliminate the people who built them.

Not to replace decades of local reputation with a corporate logo.

Preserve what works, improve what doesn't, and create opportunities for the next generation of builders.

Because every successful pool company represents thousands of projects, thousands of customers, and decades of hard-earned knowledge that shouldn't disappear when an owner retires.

Most acquisition groups are run by financiers.
We're builders.

We understand permits, excavation delays, inspections, subcontractors, material shortages, customer expectations, collections, and what happens when a project falls behind schedule.

Many owners want more than a check.
They want to know their employees will have jobs.
They want customers taken care of.
They want the company name to continue.
We understand that.
Our goal is to create transitions that work for everyone involved.

There are thousands of talented project managers, superintendents, salespeople, and tradespeople who know how to build pools.
but knowing how to build pools and knowing how to start a business are two different things. Most never start because the risk is too high.

The list never ends.
That's why we're building a different model. SPS takes on all of the business challegnes and the technical founder who knows the trade inside and out can deal with what they do best, the field work. Let us handel the back office stuff and we will make sure you can focus on the trade work the customer hired us for .

At some point, every owner asks the same question: "what happens when i'm done?"
For many contractors, the company isn't just a business.

And for most owners, there is no obvious successor.
Children often choose different careers.
Employees may not have the capital to buy the company.
Competitors often want the customer list but not the people.

So many owners end up with a business that generates income but has no clear path forward.

We believe there should be a better option.
a way to preserve the company, reward the owner, and create opportunities for the next generation of builders.

The Swimming pool remodeling | construction trade is like building a house structure but for a body of water and for people to swim in. It has similar components of a house, the framing is concrete, it has electrical wiring for lights and equipment, a gas line for heating, etc.

We understand how important the legacy is to pool construction owners and we understand the fears that pool contractors have about selling their business.

Why sellers choose sps instead of traditional buyers
Some of the value SPS creates:

If long-time customers want to continue speaking with the seller, we encourage and support that relationship.

Our goal is to keep the business feeling familiar to customers while allowing the seller to move into the next chapter of life.

This goes hand in hand with protecting the legacy of the company with residential or commercial customers

We know how challenging it is to manage a specialty contracting company like swimming pool construction or remodeling. That is why we prefer (do not require) the seller to be positioned in one or more of the following roles:

• Consultant
• Manager
• supervisor
• Operations Advisor
• Relationship manager
• Estimator
• Recruiter
• Vendor Coordinator

• Salespeople generating millions in contracts.

• Field leaders solving problems that most people couldn't identify.

• They already know how to build.

• What they don't have is access.

• We believe the future of construction isn't creating more employees.

• It's creating more owners.

• More builders with equity.

• More operators with autonomy.

• More opportunities for the people actually creating the work.

• Most pool companies hit the same ceiling.

• The owner becomes the bottleneck.

• Every estimate goes through them.

• Every customer issue goes through them.

• Every hiring decision goes through them.

• Every emergency goes through them.

• The company grows until the owner can no longer carry the weight.

• Then growth stops.

• Not because there isn't demand.

• Not because there isn't talent.

• But because one person can only do so much.

• We help companies move beyond owner-dependent operations by building systems that allow businesses to scale without sacrificing quality.

• Because a company shouldn't stop growing when the owner takes a vacation.

• The owner estimated.
• The owner sold.
• The owner managed.
• The owner solved every problem.
• The owner carried everything.
• That model worked when companies were small.
• It doesn't scale.
• The future belongs to operators supported by systems.
• Builders supported by technology.
• Trade professionals who can focus on construction instead of spending their nights buried in paperwork.
• We believe the next generation of construction companies will be built differently.
• More support.
• Better systems.
• Better operators.
• Stronger businesses.
• And more opportunities for the people who actually know how to build.

Whether you're a masonry company owner or other specialisty contractor considering an exit or a tradesperson looking for a path to ownership, we'd like to have a conversation.

The industry doesn't need fewer builders.

It needs a better way to pass great companies from one generation to the next.

Most speciality contractors are at a disadvantage when it comes to selling their business. Why? They do not have repeat business or maintenace customers so they rely on one time jobs in addition many contractors do not require realestate, heavy machinery or equipment. Because of this there are not many assets to sell with the business so it is just a company name, email adderess, phone number, along with a few trucks. The key assets to the business is the employees, google page, any ongoing projects or contracts in the back log, and customers like general contractors or property managers that refer consistent work out. 

SPS sees the true value in all speciality contracting businessess no matter what. With that said….

The key thing with buying any company - repeat business or now is instead of spending years trying to build a company from scratch, qualified operators can step into established businesses with existing customers, crews, systems, and reputation.

Masonry is a dying art, the craft itself has been around for thousands of years. Magnificent art pieces have been constructed through masonry installation, castles, forts, homes, buildings, the list goes on.

As a masonry related business owner you cannot afford to turn down work or lose any key team members like a master mason

We understand it is extremely hard to find talented individuals to perform masonry work. That is why SPS focuses on building strong relationships with each technical team member (trades person) 

Common Problems Encountered with Masonry companies SPS specializes in solving 

• Cannot find workers
• Demand is too high and turning away customers 
• Managing customer service and client communication with scheduling projects  
• Need help managing clerical aspects of the company 

When you are encountering these problems, SPS is equipped to locate and recruit talented masons to fulfill on projects.

• Instead of turning away customers we are able to negotiate with customers to wait while we finish projects first in line until we can get to theirs or we are able to outsource the work so we can fulfil on any volume of projects 
• We vet all outsourced workers thoroughly to make sure we will not diminish our brand name or create unhappy customers or get ourselves in unwanted legal situations with a job turning into a disaster 
• Our number one priority is to NOT let issues sit around and fester, we have one of our partners refer to it as: dont hide problems under the rug and expect it to go away, handle things head on right away, do not delay bringing a solution right away and acting on it 
• Another one of our partners state: If a customer has unreasonable complaints or holds back payment because of small issues (please note: customers love to hold back $9,000 over a $100 issue) just ask the customer what can we do to solve the problem, where can we compromise. One of our partners says: “you will catch more flies with honey instead of vinegar.” Meaning you will get faster results one way versus another. Threatening you will fire the customer or file a lien on the customer’s property (lawsuit) against the customer is not the best or fastest way to get to a resolution with the commercial or residential customer 
• When taking on a large volume of projects, scheduling projects is key… Talking to customers and phrasing it very carefully why you cannot complete their project during their desired time frame is key 
• Clerical aspects like written communication, responding to emails and texts, putting together payment schedules & contracts, sending invoices, filing permits, etc. is all very time consuming. SPS specialize in taking care of all of these tasks plus more
