About Atlantic Pool Experts

A Brief History of Atlantic Pool Experts

Atlantic Pool Experts was founded by Albert Padgett Jr. After emerging from the Marine Corps in 1959, he got involved in the field of pool excavation, demolition, and pool installation and decided to start his own business in 1960. His son Allen Padgett is now running the family business, which has served families in New Jersey for over 63 years. Allen’s original company before he took over the business was Altantic Equipment Corp, which focused on pool removals. He put the two companies together to create Atlantic Pool Builders Inc for pool building services. Now, the companies together go by Atlantic Pool Experts to highlight their years of expertise.

A Tradition of Excellence

Albert’s son Allen came on board full time in 1980 after working with his father every summer since he was 8 years old. Their years of experience have made them the leading specialists in the pool industry. There aren’t many others who have such a large wealth of experience and a proven track record of success in the pool industry.

We don’t sell anything we don’t use ourselves.
