Top-rated Pinellas pool company partners with Olympus Pools
Pools By Jordan plans to take over administration, customer support
LUTZ, Fla. – A highly-rated Tampa Bay area pool company is jumping in to help Olympus Pools thanks to a new partnership between the two companies and their owners.
Specific terms of the partnership were not disclosed, but Jordan Hidalgo, a general contractor who founded Pools by Jordan, a high-end pool construction company based in Pinellas county, has partnered with Olympus Pools to help assist and help restore the company to its pre-Covid standing.
“I saw what Olympus’s customers were going through on the news, but I also know the high quality of Olympus’s work and their capabilities. So, after weeks of negotiations, I’m happy to say we’ve reached an agreement, and we’re excited to get to work on sorting this all out,” said Hidalgo.
Hidalgo, who also runs a management consulting firm for pool companies called, The Pool Consultants, will have his team take over administration, accounting, permitting, purchasing and customer relations beginning Tuesday.
James Staten, who founded Olympus Pools will remain onboard and out front, running sales, field operations and business development.
“We’re each going to play to our strengths,” said Hidalgo. “There’s no denying a guy who built thousands of pools has got what it takes to make it in this business. Meanwhile, the vendors and some others in the media aren’t helping his attempts to right the ship. As a pool professional I can’t stand by and watch that happen without doing what I can for the clients and the builder. Every person should get what they expected and what they paid for, though it’s going to take some time.”
Olympus Pools, which was founded in 2010 by Staten, has generated more than $150 million in revenue over the last decade and completed more than 3,000 pools.
“What we experienced over the past year was a bit of a perfect storm, and frankly, we got behind and the timing of this agreement couldn’t have been better,” said Staten. “Between permitting issues, supply chain and material delays caused by COVID, and mistakes made while trying to scale too quickly, we found ourselves in a very challenging time; but I’m confident that Jordan and his team are going to add the extra horsepower Olympus needs to get things back on track.”
Customers can expect direct access to ownership, improved customer relations, and those who have been waiting for their pools to get started can expect work to begin sooner, thanks to the new partnership. Shared resources, equipment and subcontractors will rekindle the previously expeditious workflow. Additionally, subcontractors who were worried about getting paid can rest assured that Olympus is solvent and not going anywhere.
“Some things are going to happen immediately, and other things are going to take a little bit of time as we dig into things, but we’re ready to get all of these pools done as quickly as possible and work on rebuilding the positive image that Olympus worked so hard to achieve,” said Hidalgo.
The news of the partnership comes amid a flurry of recent work activity. Since May 10, Olympus Pools has completed the following:
- 26 Pools passed final inspections
- 18 pools have had concrete work completed
- 13 job sites have been cleaned up by cleaning crews
- 12 pre-grades were completed
- 11 pools had electrical work completed
- 11 pools had brick and tile completed
- 10 pools had plumbing work completed
- 4 screen enclosures have been completed
- 3 pools had plaster work completed
- 2 retaining walls completed
“I’m looking forward to putting this chapter behind Olympus and showing what our talented teams are capable of accomplishing together,” said Hidalgo.
