Boys with a vision
Welcome to the Northeast’s largest Fiberglass Pool Supercenter located in Cinnaminson NJ. Artistic Pools began it’s journey into Fiberglass Pool distribution back in April 2003. Since that time we have grown from a small pool depot into a massive Supercenter. This post will take you back in time and show exactly how Artistic Pools transformed an ordinary grass lot into the countries finest Fiberglass Pool distribution center. We will also highlight how this business model catapulted Artistic Pools into becoming San Juan Pools single largest Fiberglass Pool builder in the country now selling and installing 100 plus San Juan Pools each and every year.
Humble beginnings…2003. We received our very first San Juan Fiberglass Pool in April 2003. Of course we didn’t own a crane, have an office building or future customers at this point. Just a single Fiberglass Pool on an empty lot…but you know what we had a vision.
Our drive and our Mission took off very quickly. In just our first year in business we installed 12 pools. The following year we doubled our business and hit the 24 mark. For many years we remained one of the leading San Juan dealers in the country installing roughly 40 to 50 a year while distribution started to take off as well. Since 2016 Artistic Pools hit a serious growth spurt and now install 100 plus pools a year. We are moving around 200 pools a year out of this place so the need for efficiency became apparent thus the Depot Restoration process.
Let’s move ahead to 2019 where Artistic Pools has the only dirt, mud, grass, weed free distribution center in the country. WHAT… you see I’m very organized and extremely OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE when it comes to organization and Cleanliness. I’m a Capricorn right? Things need to be clean and as a homeowner that will be spending thousands of dollars on a new pool you want it to look pristine like it just came off the showroom floor. Well we did just that here at the SUPERCENTER. It was let’s say a three month project. We removed 25 Pine tree’s on the property and began the process…
Road base to stabilize the land
We brought in roughly 800 tons of road base to stabilize the property to eliminate any and all erosion of the facility. We also installed railroad ties around entire property with a French drainage system to capture all water run off. Once the entire property had road base installed we brought in approx. 700 tons of 3/4 inch stone for drainage for under the pools. The final Stage was laying industrial 20 year weed fabric around the entire property to eliminate any dirt, mud or contaminates on your new San Juan Pool. Check out the photo’s of the process at the end of the post…IT’S AWESOME!
What make’s our Supercenter so special unlike the competition…
Mark Peditto (President) and Crane Operator
When it comes to a distribution center Artistic Pools has the experience. Over the past 15 years we have delivered and handled more than 3,000 fiberglass swimming pools and Installed over 750…Check out our install Map to back up this claim. San Juan based out of Lakeland Florida brings truckloads of pools to our distribution facility every single week. We utilize our own crane here to handle our pools and utilize our own trucks and trailers to deliver to the jobsite. Why is this so important… because there are no delays bc we handle and facilitate all the logistics from our Cinnaminson NJ Supercenter.
Storing your San Juan Fiberglass Pool here at the Supercenter
Most fiberglass pool Companies store their Pools right side up. Why is this a big NO NO? For one your pools Gel Coat is being exposed directly to the Sun. This can cause premature fading and or damage from the Sun. Also rain water is constantly filling your Fiberglass Pool shell without any backfill material. Not a great idea. Here we store every single pool upside down so the pool remains in showroom condition like it was the day it was built. And of course with our new drainage fabric system not a single speck of dirt will ever get on your pool. So no need for extensive pressure Cleaning or harmful Chemicals to remove those stubborn stains here.
Pre-Building your San Juan Pool at the Supercenter
Here at Artistic we take pride in the fact that all of our Pools are Pre-outfitted before it arrives to your location for install. What exactly does tis mean to the consumer and for the builder. We Pre Stage all of our pools on a Rack system specifically designed for cutting and outfitting your new San Juan Pool. Usually a week before your scheduled install date we cut and outfit your pool with a Skimmer, 2 Drains, 2 to 4 led lights and therapy jets if applicable. This is timely process that you do not want to rush on the Jobsite. Every hole that is cut needs to be grinded on the backside to ensure a good fit for each fitting. This is a step that most will overlook bc they are doing on site and rush through most of the time. Most Fiberglass Pool manufacturers send their pools out without any cuts or fittings installed bc each and every Pool is unique for the install. Keep in mind all fittings require Silicone to be installed. Doing this process on site does not allow sufficient time for the Silicone to cure thus causing costly problems and unnecessary leaks to occur. Rest assured that when your pool arrives to your location from our Supercenter your pool is instantly ready for water.
Delivering your Pool right Side up
Let’s face it each jobsite is unique in itself and the one thing Artistic Pools prides itself in is the Right Side up delivery Method. Every manufacturer delivers their pools upside down…they’ve done this for many years. Why is this a problem? Think about this for a moment. Let’s say we are delivering a 45 foot Fiberglass Pool to the front of your house. Is there enough room to take it off the trailer and Flip it over into the right side up position on the Street with your neighbors Bentley sitting there? Ha Ha. It’s a daunting task and in most cases very stressful to a new homeowner that just paid 60k to see this monster being flipped over in the street in most cases with the wrong equipment to do so.
This has never been a problem for our customers bc every single Fiberglass Pool ever delivered has been in the rightside up position, pre-Built and ready for our 1 day Install Process. Loading right side up is not for everyone bc knowing proper loading techniques took time and practice that has been perfected over the past 15 years.
Special Alum adjustable Spreader Beam
We also invented a specific Aluminum bracing system that is installed on every Single pool so there is zero flex on the coping when Flipping and Handling your Investment! Just know when choosing Artistic Pools…You’ve made the right choice!
