At Crystal Clear Pool & Spas, we’re excited to say that this year marks 60 years of business for our pool company. We’ve built our legacy on family, integrity, and unmatched craftsmanship and look forward to many more decades of designing and building incredible custom pools.
Our story started back in 1965 when EW Gurganious, a brick mason with a big heart and a tight-knit neighborhood, decided to build a pool in his backyard for everyone to enjoy. That pool, which was soon full of laughter and memories, became the foundation of what we are today.
EW and his nephew, Dean Ward, laid the bricks – literally and figuratively – of our Burlington store by hand. Dean, who was only 17 at the time, was the right-hand man building custom pools, while EW’s wife, Laura, ran the storefront. Back then, they built commercial, residential, and luxury pools every summer, all fueled by hard work and a deep-rooted sense of community.
For the past six decades, we’ve stayed true to our roots. We’re still family owned and operated, and we don’t subcontract for anything. Here at Crystal Clear Pool & Spas, we excel in custom design, expert installation, and we provide top-tier craftsmanship. From electricians, masons, and excavators/graders to landscapers, our team does it all and is trained, trusted, and treated like family, which is a big thing that sets us apart. When you work with us, you become part of our family, too.
From generations raised on pool chemistry and service to customers who still remember the little redheaded girl at the front desk (who now runs our store), our story is personal, and we’re glad that it is. Thank you for 60 years of trust and here’s to many more summers, memories, and crystal-clear custom pools ahead!
