Our Story:Matt is a second-generation pool builder with deep family roots in the trade. Raised inside the industry in North Jersey, he has built over 100 in-ground and above-ground pools, completed over 250 renovations and liner replacements, and opened & closed countless pools over the last 25+ years. Taught by his father who has over 50 years of expertise, Matt learned the importance of technique, integrity, and building relationships that last. He leads with honesty, skill, and the belief that every customer becomes part of the 9W Pools family.Born and raised in Saugerties, NY, Trevor comes from a hardworking Hudson Valley family with a reputation for quality. Through his former family business, he completed hundreds of barn and shed deliveries & installations. That experience shaped his approach of precise workmanship, clear communication, and a deep respect for the people and communities of Ulster and its surrounding counties.We build better pools for less - without cutting a single corner -
because quality is in our DNA.
