After more than three decades of building in-ground gunite and vinyl-lined pools, founder and company president Ben Tipton is confident that customers call Tipton Builders, Inc, when quality is more important than price and When Only the Best Will Do, as the company's motto states. A large part of the company's success is attributed to its long-term employees who take enormous pride in the pools they have built. This also applies to the service department, which offers routine cleanings, seasonal openings and closings, and repair and renovation of older swimming pools.
