ASP's Successful Expansion in Pool Construction
Two years after introducing construction services, ASP - America's Swimming Pool Co. is witnessing remarkable growth in pool installation and renovation projects. Franchises have successfully completed nearly $10 million worth of new pool builds, helping homeowners realize their backyard dreams.
Jimmie Meece, the Brand President of ASP, shares, "Our construction program is one of the fastest-growing areas of our business. Homeowners desire resort-style experiences in their own backyards, and our ASP teams are committed to making that happen."
In January of the previous year, Bram Schad took on the role of Director of Pool Construction to help advance this initiative. With two decades of construction experience and prior ownership of an ASP franchise, Schad is dedicated to equipping franchisees with the necessary tools and training for providing comprehensive service—from custom pool builds to ongoing maintenance.
Transforming Backyards into Luxurious Retreats
Schad notes a shift in homeowner perspectives; backyards are increasingly seen as extensions of the home itself. Current design trends emphasize multifunctional spaces that offer both family fun and wellness benefits. Features in demand include sleek rectangular and infinity pools, spillover spas, tanning ledges, outdoor fire bowls, and maintenance-friendly materials like artificial turf.
Moreover, many homeowners are inclined to remodel or upgrade existing pools, integrating smart and energy-efficient elements such as LED lighting and solar heating. "Investing in backyard transformations can rival high-end resorts," Schad states. ASP is empowering clients to visualize their projects with advanced design programs like Pool Studio, which provides detailed 3D renderings before any construction begins.
The Evolution of ASP's Resources
To enhance its construction program, ASP has cultivated partnerships with notable industry players, including Latham and Universal Rocks. These collaborations have led to new resources and add-on opportunities within ASP’s offerings. Looking ahead, ASP plans to introduce an advanced Pool Construction tool on its website, designed to guide homeowners through the initial planning stages while connecting them with local ASP franchisees eager to assist in realizing their pool aspirations.
