We believe the best service companies make life easier for their clients.
That means showing up consistently.
Doing the work properly.
Paying attention to the details.
Communicating when something needs attention.
And standing behind the quality of the work being performed.
Our clients trust us with an important part of their homes and properties, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.
Born and raised right here in Carmel, my journey took me far beyond the area before bringing me back. After heading off to college in Montana, I spent my 20s living in Sacramento and traveling the country as a professional bass fishing personality. I had the incredible opportunity to star in multiple television shows, launch businesses, and fish alongside my childhood idols. It was a dream career, but it required constant travel. When the time came to settle down and start a family, I knew exactly where I wanted to be: back home in Carmel. Looking for a way to build a life here with less travel, I founded 18 Mile Drive Pool Company. My mission was simple: be highly responsive and provide the absolute best premium service possible. Word spread quickly, and soon I was hiring team members to keep up with the demand for top-tier pool care. However, as the business grew, so did my frustration. Whenever a client needed a major repair, an equipment upgrade, a cover fix, or a complete build-out, I had to rely on outside contractors. I hated losing control over the quality of the work being done for my clients. During that time, I kept crossing paths with Chris Flaming. We’d often find ourselves working late into the night on clients’ equipment, obsessed with getting things perfect. We quickly realized we shared the exact same drive for quality and possessed perfectly complementary skill sets. After a few long conversations over late dinners, we decided to combine forces. That partnership birthed Cypress Pools. By expanding from a premium maintenance company into a full-service builder, remodeler, and commercial service provider, we eliminated the middleman. Today, we handle everything pool-related entirely in-house. We don’t just service your pool; we build, protect, and maintain it to the highest possible standard, keeping total control over the elite quality you deserve.
