We serve Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, Nassau and Fairfield counties in NY and CT. Pools of Perfection started as a swimming pool service company about twenty years ago on the north shore of Nassau County. From nothing, the company grew to become a premier service and construction company that was regarded for providing the highest level of swimming pool care to prominent homeowners throughout Long Island. Intense and courteous service and excellent communication were the cornerstone of our growth. Many of our original customers are noted on our testimonial page.

In 2006, Pools of Perfection sold its Long Island service division in order to focus entirely on design, construction and service in Westchester and Fairfield Counties and the Hudson Valley Region. Nassau County is now serviced by Pools of Perfection of Long Island, Inc.
