Al, Designer/Builder and The Pool Guy
I am a hands on artist who happens to work in concrete and swimming pools. I’ve always been the guy to jump in and grab the shovel, not just sit in an office and design. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I joined the pool industry when I was in college – little did I know that I’d make a long term career in the industry.
My favorite projects are the ones that are creative and where clients give me artistic liberty to create something that is an experience. When we [the clients and I] build a swimming pool together it’s a journey that we both take, not a simple contractor experience. The more I am able to find out what they like to do, and places they enjoy, the more I can hand-craft an experience that is custom made for them.
Allan Curtis has been in the pool industry for most of his adult life. We’ll leave you to figure out just what this translates to in years. He is the lead designer and builder with an artistic approach to building swimming pools in Michigan through his construction company, Legendary Escapes Pools.
What we have come to realize, is that Al Curtis probably has more hands on experience and working knowledge of swimming pools than anyone in the country. Many people can say that they’ve been involved in the industry at some level for a number of years, however, the specific working knowledge that you get from being a part of things on a daily basis, is something else. The good news is that Al continues to share his expertise, and his desire to make the industry a better place by taking questions and sharing knowledge via his online alter ego: Ask the Pool Guy.
If you are interested in a new swimming pool, you can contact Curtis or a capable member of his team online http://www.AskThePoolGuy.com and http://www.LegendaryEscapes.com.
