SPONSORED CONTENT Business Spotlight SPONSORED CONTENT The Pool & Spa Place Making Backyards Cooler for You F or the past 14 years, The Pool & Spa Place in Bethel Park has been taking backyards from yawn to awesome by fitting residents with custom in-ground and above ground swimming pools and spas. Kevin Roche and his brother, Ken, are second generation proprietors of The Pool & Spa Place. Having grown up in Bethel Park, the Roche family takes great pride in all things Bethel, and is proud to operate the family business in such a wonderful community. “Bethel Park’s been great to us,” said Kevin Roche. “I graduated from Bethel Park, played football and wrestled for the school district. Our dad was president of the booster club, and we’ve always been active in the community. We go out of our way to hire Bethel Park graduates who are home from college on their summer breaks, because that’s the time when they need work and we’re at our busiest.” Although The Pool & Spa Place has small-town pride and values, the services are as advanced as they come. The store offers advanced products like complete automation systems for your backyard – you can control everything from your pool heater to landscape lights and waterfalls from your smartphone. Also offered is a pretty unique “virtual tour” of your project before workers ever break ground. “When people decide that they want a pool, it’s hard for them to visualize what that pool will look like in their yard,” Roche said. “We can take the pool they choose and images of their yard to construct a 3D walkthrough of what the end product will look like from any angle. This has been a huge help to them.” And whether your yard is large or small, The Pool & Spa Place has a solution for you. From custom designed in-ground pools, to above ground pools to patio design and installation, The Pool & Spa Place can make your backyard dream a reality. What’s more, staff members not only install pools, they make sure their customers have the tools they need to enjoy their pools all season long. “The pools themselves carry lifetime warranties, and I’ve never known a steel-wall, in-ground pool to fail. Pools with polymer walls have the potential to last several lifetimes,” Roche said. “And we assess each homeowner’s yard to incorporate the best filtration system for them. If they have a lot of trees where leaves pose a problem, we can install the appropriate filter for that. We also offer maintenance services to our customers, which leaves all the work to us. And if we see a problem, we let them know and offer to fix it before it gets out of hand.” The Pool & Spa Place installs and services pools throughout the South Hills of Pittsburgh and Washington County. Employees retain annual certifications on chemical treatments and water chemistry so that you can be sure your pool will stay as sparkling as the day you first dove in.
