About us

Elite Pools is headquartered at 300 East Lombard Street in the historic downtown section of the inner harbor of Baltimore, Maryland. Elite Pools is a family owned and operated company that has been in business since 1959. We build both residential and commercial inground pools and spas. Currently our business spans the Mid-Atlantic to include the Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington D.C. pool contractor market. We are proud members of both the Better Business Bureau with an “A+” rating and the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. With our own in-house licensed pool contractors, we are able to answer any questions that may arise. Our Elite professionals have over 100 years combined experience. Unlike many other pool builders in Maryland, Virginia or DC,, we believe in the “old fashioned way” in which we do most of the work ourselves. We have established dedicated relationships with our pool subcontractors to create a team atmosphere. We build each and every pool as if we are building for family. We stand behind our work and back it with a lifetime forever transferable pool shell and underground plumbing warranty. Our primary goal is to make sure your custom swimming pool will be an asset to your home and a great source of pleasure for you and your family for many years to come.

The Elite pools team are wonderful to work with. They are with you every step of the way. There was never a concern that my dream pool wouldn't turn out to exceed my expectations.

The idea of putting a pool in our yard was an overwhelming proposition to say the least. Mike, the owner, and his team from Elite Pools put us at ease and made it a positive, enjoyable, and even exciting experience. Their vision for the project was spot on. Their partnership, responsiveness, and proactive approach to informing us of the path forward made us feel at ease throughout the length of the project. Mike was at our house often throughout the process to ensure everything ran smoothly. We would highly recommend Elite Pools to anyone considering a new pool, or even maintenance on an existing pool. Thank you Elite Pools for a job well done!

Elite pools was an excellent pool contractor. The scope of the project was well defined prior to start and the company even provided feedback on where they envisioned us wanting to expand the project after beginning (which we eventually did expand to include most of their suggestions).

Elite installed our in-ground salt water pool about 9 years ago and they did an amazing job. We worked directly with Mark and he stepped us through the entire process and helped us create the best free-form design for our space and our budget. Unfortunately, over the years, we didn't maintain the seals around the coping and water made its way under the coping stones and behind the tile causing accent tiles to pop and stones to loosen. We needed to have the coping stones reset and decided to change our accent tiles. Dustin provided a ton of tile options and did a great job managing the effort. It looks like a brand new pool.

Elite pools were fantastic in building our in ground pool in Elkton MD. The owner took a personal interest in the pool, found a spouting crab fountain for us, and the pool is of the highest caliber and gorgeous. We are in year 3 now and the quality of construction and parts has held up admirably. Highly recommended.

Amazing. Building a pool is a significant and scary endeavor, reading online and BBB reviews for pool companies seems to be an endless list of sketchy companies that miss deadlines, race to milestone payment points and then don't come back for weeks or just have horrible quality. Mike and his team at Heritage Elite exceeded our expectations at every step of our project. From the extensive work to design our pool, having our pool properly zoned with our spetic system, gaining all necessary building permits to meeting the construction schedule at every point in the project Heritage Elite was a pleasure to work with. If you are considering a pool or hardscape project I would highly recommend calling the team at Heritage Elite. We are finishing our 3rd season with the pool and transforming our backyard was the best decision we ever made and I thank Mike for making it a reality.

In fairness to Elite, they were picking up in the middle of a project. But they were paid accordingly. It required very detailed management on my part to stay on top of them to get the job done. My primary contact left the company during the build but oddly continued on as my POC. Once he left I had to go to the owners to get anything done. While they did eventually come through it was not without significant effort. I do believe they can do a good job, and my build was somewhat complex with the odd variables, but I struggle to give them an A or a B. A score like that would imply that I would use them again, and I'm not certain that I would.

This has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The salesman Jay Schreider was careful not to over-promise and made sure we met with the owner to clarify the details of our project. The owner, Mike Shaffrey, spent many hours with us discussing and planning the intricacies of the build before we were even under contract. We negotiated a very fair contract and have no regrets. Mike has been involved in the oversight through the entire job and always available by phone or email whenever we had questions. Mike's years of experience was invaluable when he was able to help us design a way to put 10 lbs pf stuff in a 5 lb bag. However, the one who Mike has relied upon to really pull it together on a daily basis has been Dustin. Dustin couldn't be more agreeable and attentive! He has never failed to address an issue or question in a timely manner. The professionalism and patience displayed by all has been almost shocking. A+
