A family company

Pools built the way they should be.

For two decades, First Class Pools and Spas has designed and built custom pools across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Martin counties — one family, one name on every contract, one promise that the work is done right.

Founder John Scott started the company after years of watching larger pool companies over-promise and under-deliver. Today, we design and build pools the old way: with patience, craft, and a written warranty on every job.

What we build

Signature features, built to last.

Full Capabilities

Infinity & Vanishing Edge

Dramatic water-level edges that visually merge your pool with the horizon — engineered for South Florida lot lines.

Integrated Spas

Spillover spas seamlessly designed into your pool — raised, flush, or hidden, with programmable jets and temperature.

Fire & Water Features

Sculptural fire bowls, sheer-descent waterfalls, and deck-jet choreography that transforms a pool into a nighttime landscape.

Sun Shelves & Baja Steps

Shallow tanning ledges for loungers, built-in umbrella sleeves, and barrier-free entry steps — perfect for families.

Smart LED Lighting

Phone-controlled RGB lighting, perimeter landscape illumination, and underwater color choreography for after dark.

Outdoor Kitchens & Cabanas

Full poolside kitchens, shaded lounge cabanas, and hardscape patios — so your pool becomes a room, not an add-on.

All Projects
"They built us a pool that feels like a five-star hotel — except we never have to leave."
— The Marchetti Family · Boca Raton, 2024
Our approach

A process built on patience, not shortcuts.

01 · Discovery

Listen first.

We sit down in your yard, not a showroom. We talk about how you live, how you entertain, and what your pool needs to become.

02 · Design

Custom, never copied.

We draw your pool to match your yard, your home, and your taste — with detailed plans and transparent pricing before a single shovel turns.

03 · Build

Done the old way.

One project manager. One written contract. One crew that cares. We build slowly and carefully because a pool is forever.

04 · Live

For the long run.

Every pool is delivered with a written warranty and a direct line back to our team. We're here long after the water is in.

Transformations

From dated to dream yard.

Before
After
Villa Bianca · Boca Raton

A tired 1990s pool, reimagined.

We removed the dated kidney shape, re-engineered the deck, and designed a rectangular infinity-edge spa-pool with a sun shelf and integrated fire bowls.

After
The Atlantic · Delray Beach

Empty lot to coastal retreat.

A full hardscape build — pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, LED landscape lighting, and custom travertine deck — finished in four months.

John Scott, Founder
Meet the founder

Built by a family. Run by hand.

John Scott started First Class Pools after years of watching big pool companies cut corners and treat customers like job numbers. He set out to run a company where the owner still answers the phone, where contracts mean something, and where every pool leaves his name on it.

Two decades later, we're still a family business. Still built one pool at a time. Still the pool builder our clients recommend to their neighbors.

— John Scott Founder & Owner
From our clients

Trusted across South Florida.

They treated our backyard like it was their own. Every detail, every day. The pool is the heart of our home now.

The Marchetti FamilyBoca Raton · 2024

We met with four builders. John was the only one who actually listened. The finished pool is better than we could have drawn.

David & Linda R.Delray Beach · 2023

Honest, on time, on budget. Three things you almost never get in one contractor. We can't recommend them enough.

Where we build

Proudly serving Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade & Martin counties.

We stay local because great pool work requires showing up — not just at the design meeting, but every day of the build. Our service area is tight for a reason.
