Our philosophy is to use the best processes, materials, and tradesmen at the lowest sustainable cost to ensure pools are built properly and we will be here to build your next one. Hive was established 10 years ago by second generation pool builder, Robert Foster, Hive is stable, debt free, constantly creating top quality pools and continually gaining a larger share of the market. Everyone at Hive is here because we enjoy designing and building pools - it’s more than just a means to an end for each of us. We love having happy and excited customers and strive to achieve that on every project. From design through to project completion, Hive uses cutting edge software and processes to ensure your dream pool turns out exactly as envisioned. Our award-winning 3D design process is always appreciated by customers. We have designed and built our own software to track and coordinate all the phases of construction, inspections, and materials. All these factors make Hive one of the premier pool builders in the Tampa Bay area.
"Entire process was well organized and Ben & his team took the time during design to help us pick features and elements that no only look great, but perform and add to the enjoyment of our pool and outdoor area. During design - we could see realtime changes made to the computer rendering and get a great look at how the finished product would turn out. During construction, our project manager kept us abreast of everything and the crew worked hard, were respectful to our property and family & completed the job within the communicated timeline. We get so many compliments on our pool and definitely recommend Hive to our friends and families."

The best tile for your in-ground pool depends on your style preferences and budget. If you're seeking an elegant look and don't mind a higher price tag, glass tiles might be ideal. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are popular choices among homeowners for a balance of affordability and durability. Consider what's most important to you to select the perfect tile for your pool.
Pool tile deep cleaning costs can vary, but it's a worthwhile investment to restore your tiles' appearance and longevity. Techniques like high-pressure glass bead blasting effectively remove buildup and polish the surface, enhancing aesthetics and durability. Regular deep cleaning keeps your pool looking great and protects your investment in the long run.
Aside from tile, you have several other pool finishing options like plaster and aggregate finishes. Plaster gives your pool a modern look and is cost-effective but may require more frequent maintenance. Aggregate finishes offer improved texture and durability, enhancing your pool's safety and visual appeal. Consider these alternatives to find the best fit for your needs.
The lifespan of your pool tiles can vary widely based on the type of tile, installation quality, and maintenance. Generally, pool tiles last between 10 and 20 years. However, when properly installed and maintained, durable options like ceramic and porcelain tiles can last up to 100 years. Regular care ensures your tiles remain in great condition for decades.
Retiling your pool is a perfect time to tackle other home improvement projects. Since you'll be draining the pool anyway, consider replacing the vinyl liner, repairing any structural cracks, or upgrading your pool heater. By addressing these tasks together, you can enhance both the functionality and appearance of your pool.
Proper pool maintenance significantly extends the life of your pool tiles. By consistently cleaning, balancing chemical levels, and ensuring good water circulation, you preserve the strength and color of your tiles and prevent degradation. Taking care of your pool means your tiles stay pristine, and your pool remains safe and beautiful for many years to come.
