Introduction
Elite Pools is headquartered at 300 East Lombard Street in the historic downtown section of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. A family-owned and operated company in business since 1959, we build residential and commercial in-ground pools and spas. We service the Mid-Atlantic region, which includes the Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington D.C. pool contractor markets. We are proud members of both the Better Business Bureau (with an “A+” rating!) and the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. Our Elite professionals have over 100 years combined experience, and unlike many other pool builders in Maryland, Virginia, or D.C., we believe in the “old-fashioned way” of doing things, meaning we do most of the work ourselves. With our own in-house licensed pool contractors, we are able to answer any questions that may arise. We have established dedicated relationships with our pool subcontractors to create a team atmosphere. These relationships reduce errors in communication and result in projects that are completed on time and on budget. When you contract with Elite Pools to build your pool or spa, you will be dealing with professionals who believe in putting the customer first. Pool renovations are another one of our specialties; bringing new life to a pool, and an entire backyard, is what makes us stand out from the competition. At Elite Pools, we build each and every pool as if we are building for family and back our work with a “lifetime forever” transferable pool shell and underground plumbing warranty. Our primary goal is to make sure your custom swimming pool will be an asset to your home and a great source of pleasure for you and your family for many years to come.

I've been selling hardscaping and landscaping materials in this market for over 5 years and have seen jobs from a small walkway and patio to an Olympic sized pool with 6000 square feet of travertine and have dealt with some of the largest named Hardscapers and pool companies in the business. That being said, I have never come across a company like Elite Pools. The raw creativity that goes in to each an every project is incredible. The dedicated, hardworking crews are timely and efficient making it much easier for the customer to enjoy their backyard paradise sooner than later. Truly a pleasure to do business with. If you want your own paradise that you can escape to by only taking a few steps I would highly recommend Mike Shaffery and Elite Pools. You won't be disappointed. Sam Burk The Stone Store MD

Elite built our pool in 2012. Since then, we've enjoyed endless hours of fun and relaxation around the centerpiece of our backyard. We have had very little problems (mostly routine maintenance/usual wear related stuff) since completion. We interviewed many different companies before deciding on Elite and the major reasons we chose them came down to COMFORT, COST and overall VISION of our project. COMFORT: This company will not route you through "corporate" processes to get your project scheduled, maintenance completed or issues resolved. They are very personable and ensure you are satisfied with the work that was performed. COST: Elite was by far the most cost friendly company that we interviewed. They provided many different options that allowed the project to fit well within our budget. VISION: Elite used their many years of experience to guide our decision making concerning the numerous options you can be faced with while considering a pool project. My family and I went into the pool building process with a very skeptical mindset and Elite eased our concerns while making it a complete success.

We had an amazing client experience with Elite Pools, Mike S. and his team provided us with exceptional, high quality work, service and follow-up throughout the life of our project, (finished 30 + days ago). When we embarked on 'purchasing a pool", to us, it was more than just that, and Mike S. was able to provide us an architectural design based on our vision for our backyard. Their recommendations were completely aligned with our vision. We had complete pool work, a water feature, and full landscaping completed. Out backyard has gone through a complete transformation, and we couldn't be happier with the way it has turned out!! Everyone that sees our backyard is more than complimentary of the finished result...it is our oasis, our home away from home!! We have already recommended Elite Pools to our friends looking to redo / construct new or just have service provided to their existing pool, and would highly recommend them again! Thank you so much for providing us the value for our investment!!

We called several companies to help us with our pool plaster issue. We werent sure if it was a problem with the plaster itself or staining. Mike at Elite Pools was the only person/company that i spoke with out of probably 7-8, who gave me an honest answer, that my pool only needed an acid wash vs re-plastering. He could have recommended the more profitable option for him like those other companies did, but he gave me his honest opinion based on his experience, and then gave me a great price. His crew was able to come soon after we spoke, even during busy season, and Mike was there along with them to make sure it went smoothly. Not only that, but Mike has also gone above and beyond helping me get my pool going after his job was done. I highly recommend this company!

Elite Pools built my family an unbelievable pool!!! The owner, Mike Shaffery, was personally involved in every aspect of the design / build and delivered a pool that was beyond my wildest expectations. Even with bad weather during the build, Mike and Elite Pools were able to deliver my completed pool ahead of schedule. I have recommended Elite Pools to several friends / colleagues, etc. and each one has had a wonderful experience. I cannot say enough about them. If I needed to build a new pool, I would use them again, and I will continue to recommend them to family, friends, and colleagues.
