THE WELL KNOWN STORY OF CRESTWOOD POOLS
we’ve always listened to our customers, and good thing we did!
If You Build It, They Will Come…
Dear Future Crestwood Fan,
A unique idea from a customer was the spark that led to the creation and evolution of Crestwood Pools, the Ultimate On-Ground Pool manufacturer.
In 1986 an above-ground pool owner looking to replace his rusted out metal wall pool and damaged liner came into our family’s Swimming Pool manufacturing and retail facility in Vestal, NY. We have been the premier pool builder in our area since 1961. Upon reviewing our quote for the replacement items, the customer came up with a ‘light bulb’ idea. He was employed by a company that made wooden silos, that has since become one of the leading custom laminated beam manufactures in the world. His idea was, “I’ll just build a 24′ diameter Silo, 4′ high out of Pressure Treated Wood and buy a liner and other necessary components to make a pool from you”.
In the early 1970’s, we stopped selling above ground pools due to the inherent problems associated with the typical metal wall above ground pools, such as rusting, instability, etc. We shifted our focus to building only custom built in-ground vinyl lined pools, which provided superior materials, quality and workmanship resulting in a long-term trouble free product for our customers.
When the customer presented his idea, we immediately could see the many benefits of using the proven design of a Silo or Barrel to construct a pool above ground that would stand the test of time and natural elements, without the common look and problems associated with typical above ground pools. With our family’s knowledge of proper pool construction and materials, we knew there was a market for a quality On-Ground Pool using the Silo concept as the base structure.
We began to purchase the walls and “Silo Hoops” to hold the boards together and we created the first complete pool display. By placing the pool next to our busy parkway location, people saw the pool, and immediately started to inquire about this unusual Silo looking pool. Inquiries quickly turned to sales and as they say “the rest is history”.
During the early years of constructing these original pools, we frequently made adjustments and improvements to overcome some installation challenges. We finally turned the “Silo” concept into a purpose designed On-Ground Pool system. Drawing on over 125 years of combined knowledge in the swimming pool and construction industries we perfected the Crestwood Pool. With some revolutionary ideas and innovations that were huge improvements over previous above ground pool products, we finalized all of our components, applied for a patent, incorporated and established Crestwood Pools, Inc. in 1989.
We were amazed at the popularity and rapid sales of Crestwood Pools with virtually no advertising or promotion. Our only exposure was the original display pool. We decided to make Crestwood Pools available to other like-minded swimming pool dealers who shared our commitment to selling only top quality pools with excellent utility, performance and stability. Our dealer network has been growing steadily since then with thousands of satisfied Crestwood Pool owners in the USA and other countries. Since that humble beginning, Crestwood has become the standard to which all others are compared and although others have tried to copy Crestwood Pools, our premier product has never been duplicated.
I look forward to serving you,
Rich Vultaggio

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
on Wooden Above Ground Pools
What is a wooden swimming pool?
For years, pools were being made out of concrete, metal, plastic, fiberglass and several other energy-inefficient, and not aesthetically pleasing materials. We were a pioneer in the wooden swimming pool movement. Our family knew that if a swimming pool was made out of wood, it would eliminate the need of swimming pool heaters, and thereby greatly lower customers’ electric heating bills. That’s just one big perk. Customers tell us that wooden above ground swimming pools are the most naturally beautiful, that it’s easier to show their home when selling than when they had an inground or fiberglass above ground pool, and that their neighbors keep suggesting, “Let’s have the party at your house!” Plus, wood is a renewable energy source, so you’re helping the environment!
What type of wood are wooden swimming pools made of?
Pressure treated wood wall above ground pools are an attractive, safe and long lasting alternative to the standard metal wall above ground pool. Crestwood & EZ-Do Pools uses only the finest Grade 1 Southern Yellow Pine in all of its pools. This stringently graded type of lumber is not only the most easily and completely treated wood available, but also, selected from the best parts of the tree. Only boards that meet strict guidelines for knot size and quantity, limited amount of wane (bark remaining along the edge of the board), grain consistency and structural integrity can be graded as #1. Although only #1 Lumber is used, Crestwood & EZ-Do Pools acts as the final inspector monitoring the moisture content, bowing, crooking and surface appearance.
What is the best above ground pool?
It’s not as much a question of the size of our 7 round above ground pools, or even our 3 oval above ground pools, rather it’s a question about the size of your yard or lot, as well as any unique characteristics of your property, such as hills, cement patios or wooden decks. If you call Rich at 607-786-0010 with the dimensions of your property, he’ll use his 30+ years of experience to determine which pool sizes are best for you. One more thing to consider is the size of your average swimming party. Whether you have kids or plenty of friends, or both, you’ll want to take that into consideration when choosing a pool size so swimmers aren’t too crowded.
