About Our Company…
Royal Pools of Chattanooga has been building and renovating high-quality in-ground swimming pools, spas and water features since 1998. Founded by pool industry expert David Galloway, the company’s emphasis has ALWAYS been on QUALITY.
In addition to new construction of Gunite and vinyl liner swimming pools, we also offer complete pool renovations and remodeling, which includes such upgrades as replastering, retiling, deck resurfacing and equipment upgrades.
About Our Founder David Galloway…
David got his first exposure the swimming pool business way back in 1981, when some local Chattanooga pool industry experts helped him build his very first swimming pool. David worked for several different companies until 1998, when he decided to become an independent swimming pool contractor, and start Royal Pools of Chattanooga.
From the beginning, he founded Royal Pools, David knew he wanted to get away from the low-cost / low-quality / “cookie-cutter” swimming pools, and instead focus on innovative and challenging swimming pool designs. That’s why he invests so much time with training and education on advanced technology and features such as glass tile, Hydrazzo finishes, and the stunning “infinity edge” or “vanishing edge” water feature.
David’s many decades of experience in the swimming pool renovations arena have turned him into something of a regional expert in the remodeling of “problem pools.” For both commercial and residential situations, David is a resource many homeowners and business owners alike reach out to for help in making their Waterscapes better than new again.
David is a licensed Tennessee Contractor (#43933). and a member of the Chattanooga Better Business Bureau. His dedication to customer satisfaction is readily reflected in his long-lasting A+ with the BBB.
