One of the pool builders making waves right in our own backyard is Thomas Pools & Spas. Recently voted one of the best pool companies in Modesto by the Modesto Bee, the 20-year-old firm has cemented its reputation throughout the Central Valley for its custom swimming pools. We go one-on-one with Todd Thomas, owner of Thomas Pools & Spas to find out what put them on top and why they've become the first name for inground pool construction in Modesto, CA.

On this episode of Pool Magazine podcast we have the distinct pleasure of chatting with Keith Zars, owner of Keith Zars Pools, they’re consistently rated as one of the top pool companies in the country and certainly the local leaders in their hometown of San Antonio, TX. We take a sneak peek at one of their latest over-the-top resort-style residential pool projects and chat with the Zars about what it takes to run a top-rated pool construction company and why his firm has been so successful.
