A word from Andrew, the Owner...
When I started removing swimming pools, I was the only contractor to offer swimming pool demolition and swimming pool removal services as an EXCLUSIVE service in both Maryland and Northern Virginia. And I have chosen to remain a small, owner-operated, company since starting in the late 1980s.
I started my business while in high school. And something that I have observed with the construction market is that nobody has the eye for detail like an owner himself. I have found that most homeowners typically recognize and appreciate that – it’s the way they prefer to have their projects managed.
​
Swimming pool removal and demolition can be intimidating for many property owners. It seems that when property owners invest time and energy in discussing their pool removal with me, they get a sense of relief when they see the pride and the integrity in how I operate my swimming pool removal company.
I have an old school business mentality – it’s very simple – be upfront, be honest, do what you say you’ll do. I’m a firm believer in upfront, honest, transparent communication with all our clients. You will be fully apprised of everything going on.
​
I find that our clients appreciate a detailed contract. People want to know what the contract includes they want to know what the contractor is responsible for and what the property owner will be responsible for. My contract is detailed. Everything is spelled out, there are no hidden costs, if for some (rare) reason we would need addition fill soil or topsoil – the contract states how much that would cost. If for some reason, we must export an additional load of rubble – the contract specifies what the additional load will cost
​
I love what I do, I am friendly, quality focused, and I enjoy informing people about our work.

So, why use Pools Removed?
We’re very proud of our work and our accomplishments. We have successfully demolished and removed over 900 swimming pools, becoming extremely proficient with our processes, such as our demolition technique and our proper backfill and compaction process.
It’s our extensive wisdom and knowledge that enable us to achieve success with properties with the most difficult access and challenging workspaces. Our pool demolition process is not theory, over the years we have developed proven and successful techniques in our pool demolition/removal process.
Clients work directly with the Andrew, from the initial contact to completion of the work. Andrew is hands-on, and onsite the from start to finish. We provide personalized service. Andrew is very big on communication, transparency, and customer service. And the aforementioned isn’t something written because it sounds nice and because we know it’s what people want to hear. Communication and personal service is truly the foundation of the company.
It’s no secret that you can find just about anyone with a loader to fill in that old pool. This is a service that we perform exclusively and successfully job after job. Unless special circumstances exist, we do not bring humongous equipment onto your property. The equipment used to break up and backfill your swimming pool is sized to your site variables. And we don’t drive 60,000(+) pound dump trucks over your yard, across breakable main water supply lines, sewer lines, and over curbing.
Over the years we have developed an extensive network of suppliers of fill material, thus eliminating the chances of your pool being ½ way filled in and us standing in your backyard stranded searching for more fill material.
​
We have a fine tuned system to what we do. In most cases, we’re able to provide you with a detailed, written proposal within 24 to 48 hrs after receiving e-mailed photos of your property and that old swimming pool or tennis court.
Swimming pool and tennis court removal is OUR SPECIALTY. Our systems make this as easy as possible for the people we serve, beginning with the estimating, to the detailed proposal, and in the actual execution and completion of the work.
