What We Do

New Pools

We design fully custom pools tailored to your property and vision, with 3D renderings available for most builds. Our team delivers reliable timelines using premium materials and expert craftsmanship. Choose from vinyl, gunite, or fiberglass—financing available for qualified buyers.

Pool Renovations

We offer fast vinyl liner replacements and expert repairs for cracks, jets, drains, and more. From tile and coping upgrades to equipment and plumbing fixes, we handle it all—including skimmer, faceplate, and return replacements, plus VGB-compliant drain covers.

Hardscapes

We design outdoor spaces that seamlessly complement your pool, with custom patios, decks, retaining walls, and water features. Our full-service process also includes irrigation and drainage solutions for a complete build.

3D Renderings

We offer custom 3D pool and outdoor living renderings to help bring your vision to life before construction begins. These detailed visuals provide a clear picture of your future space and help ensure every element is just right. Designed to enhance the planning process, our renderings are a valuable part of the experience we provide for select projects.

With over 30 years in the swimming pool industry, Alton Dempsey brings unmatched experience, leadership, and grit to every project. A fourth-generation builder, construction runs deep in Alton’s blood.

Client Testimonials

We have a beautiful new pool and we are enjoying lots of fun, family time together this summer! The equipment Alton recommended is top quality, the pump is so quiet no one notices it. Start to finish was less than 5 months- and that was during the winter weather!
Lori A.Google Review
Had our pool built and we love it. Backyard paradise. Everything went as a step by step completion. Very impressed with Alton and his crew.
Todd C.Google Review
Outstanding coordination before and after installation of a new pool liner. Price quoted was the price charged. Very professional and quick to respond to questions.

Alton Dempsey

The Man Behind the Build

With over 30 years in the swimming pool industry, Alton Dempsey brings unmatched experience, leadership, and grit to every project. A fourth-generation builder, construction runs deep in Alton’s blood. His great-grandfather worked in commercial construction, his grandfather helped build the iconic Peace Bridge, and his father was a head supervisor on major highway and bridge projects. That legacy shaped Alton’s work ethic and pride in craftsmanship from day one.

Originally from Buffalo, New York, Alton got his start in 1996 working with successful builders before launching his own company in 2003, driven by a desire to build something of his own—and to be present for his young son.

In 2007, Alton became a single father and continued growing his business while raising his son on his own. Just two years later, the 2009 recession hit hard, slowing the entire industry. But Alton didn’t quit. He pushed through the tough times, and by 2012, business picked up and never looked back.

In 2025, Alton expanded operations by opening a second location in Ringgold, Georgia—bringing his custom pool expertise to even more homeowners across state lines.

Alton is also a proud U.S. Army National Guard veteran, having served since 2002. The discipline, perseverance, and leadership he developed in the military continue to guide his approach to business: no cutting corners, no “good enough”—just excellence, precision, and full follow-through.

In 2019, Alton married his wife Julie, a dedicated speech-language pathologist who shares his values of compassion, service, and resilience. Together, they’ve built a life rooted in faith, family, and purpose.

Now based in Charleston, Tennessee, Alton lives with his wife Julie and their two rescue dogs, Mya and Koda. He’s also a proud father to his son AC, born in 2003, who’s now building his own future—just like his dad did.

When Alton takes on a project, he sees it through—because that’s who he is, and that’s how he does business.
