Gui Alinat

I can’t rave enough about Grand Vista pools. Really the best. Kevin and his team were fantastic. On time, on budget, a pleasure to work with, no delays, no shady tactics…. and the luxury pool is absolutely stunning (photos don’t do it justice). This is exactly what we wanted and again, the team was really amazing to work with, from start to finish.

Brianna Gordon

We had a great experience with Grand Vista Pools. We love our new pool and outdoor kitchen! The owner, Kevin, was great to work with and very responsive to any needs. The project was completed in a timely manner and there were no major complications along the way. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend Grand Vista Pools.

Tristan Peters

We had a great time working with Kevin from designing the backyard to the finished product. The project was started and completed as stated in the contract without delays. Great communication and quality work with all of his employees, would definitely use Grand Vista again.

Claire Kunzman

Kevin Shipp and Grand Vista Pools transformed our new home. The pool was built from start to finish in less than two months, even with one week lost to Hurricane Ian. Kevin was super responsive and addressed every question we had instantly. Their quality is truly best in class. We are so incredibly thankful to have found Grand Vista Pools and recommend them wholeheartedly!

Leslie

I am thankful we chose Grand Vista Pools to build our pool. This was such a big purchase and we were so overwhelmed. Kevin had so much patience and helped us every step of the way. His team was professional and courteous and also a pleasure to work with. Once the pool was built, of course I had follow up questions, and Kevin was once again super patient with me and answered every one in a timely manner. I highly recommend Grand Vista Pools.

Melissa Ho

Kevin and John were great to work with. Kevin gave us much needed advice and feedback on the design and once John got started, they didn’t stop until the pool was done. If not for city construction blocking our street, they would have finished in 3 weeks. They was excellent communication throughout, very responsive and accommodating. Couldn’t imagine a better pool building experience.

Joshua Butts

Kevin and his team were a pleasure to do business with. He honored his word and contract and provided quality work, even fixing things that needed to be addressed after final payment and completion. There are contractos who will do it for less, but you get what you pay for.

David Mills

We actually did a complete pool renovation to include, travertine, pool cage, pebbletec, new light in pool… also had mosaic dolphins with beach ball put in. We recommend Kevin 100%. Prior to hiring Kevin, we interviewed quite a few pool builders. The communication & schedule on pool renovation was outstanding. Any issues along the way, Kevin responded quickly & resolved any issue. All the workers involved in our renovation were kind, competent & thorough. Look no further, Kevin is the BEST in the business.

Donna Grotenberg

We used Kevin and his amazing team for a pool renovation 4 years ago. We still love the finished project! The whole team is great at customer service and communication. We recently had a small problem with some of the original pool piping. Grand Vista helped us with the problem 100% for full resolution going above and beyond. Excellent team, quality work, and easy to work with.

Lori Dozark

There is NO greater pool builder in Tampa – and I would venture to say anywhere – than Grand Vista Pools – PERIOD. They are the BEST, did an amazing job, extremely professional, friendly, and efficient. Their word matters and they had top notch construction, customer service, follow up and Kevin has continued to be available to answer every call/question I have had even after they completed the pool. There is no one else I would recommend to anyone wanting to build a pool. On top of it, the owner is a total class act, one of a kind and a rare find in today’s world.

Amar Dalsania

Amazing experience. Kevin and his team did an incredible job as you can see. His communication is fantastic and any questions/issues were promptly resolved. They kept a tight construction schedule and delivered at every step. Very highly recommend!!

Z R Harris

Working with Kevin Shipp and his crew has been a wonderful experience. They constructed an oasis in our backyard with a beautiful pool, lanai, and bathroom. The compliments we receive on the design and results are never ending. Kevin is incredibly responsive to any contact or question we initiated. He has assured his crew’s work is top notch and uses the best quality products in the build. We highly recommend Grand Vista Pools. Kevin is trustworthy, personable, and cares incredibly about his customer and work.

Mike Maggio

Kevin is without a doubt the premier pool builder in the Tampa area. A lot of guys can pour concrete, but rarely do they have the customer service and responsiveness that Grand Vista has. Even years later, when you didn’t even select them to build your pool. I wish I had.

Bob Briesacher

Hire with confidence ! Kevin and his team just finished our backyard / pool makeover. They delivered on time with amazing result’s. The communication was spot on and clear to understand. No games, No upselling just an amazing team!

Mark Lalli

Kevin and his team for Grand Vista Pools did great work to give our family our dream pool. They showed up early daily, and worked with us to ensure everything was just the way we needed and wanted it to be.
Will recommend Grand Vista to anyone looking to build a new pool, or replace an existing pool.

Joe Massa

Kevin and his crew installed our new pool. They made me feel like I was there only customer. They maintained the time schedule and finished the pool on time. I would use them again in a heart beat. Don’t hesitate to call them! Thank you Kevin and team!

Scott Stapley

Kevin and has entire team were exceptional throughout the project. Our neighbors had other pool companies start their construction months earlier, and ended up completing months later then ours, and to a considerably lower standard.

Grand Vista Pools is easily worth the price tag for their professionalism and quality.

Brent & Stacey Albright

Kevin and his team did an amazing job on our pool. All we had to do was pick our finishes and he and his team handled the rest, including permits from the county. The finished product is beyond our expectations. Thank you Grand Vista Pools!
