As a family-owned business, establishing a strong brand identity that communicates reliability, quality, and exceptional service is equally important.

For Claffey Pools, the goal is to become the only place their customers turn to when they’re in need, and based on its robust portfolio of beautifully crafted pools, it is well on its way to achieving that. EXPANDING BEYOND THE FAMILY VISION Paul Claffey, the founder of Claffey Pools, originally hailed fromWisconsin.As a mason by trade, he faced the challenges of cold winters, which limited his work opportunities. Seeking better prospects, Paul moved his family to Texas, where he continued his work as a stonemason for several years before deciding to start his own company in 1987. As it began growing, running the business became a unified family effort. His youngest son, Brian, worked in the field. Meanwhile, his daughter, Shelly, assisted with administrative tasks. The eldest sibling, Charlie, who had just graduated from Texas Wesleyan with a finance degree, brought a vision of growth and corporate structure to the company. Together, the family’s unique skills and shared values created a strong foundation for Claffey Pools, and over time, Paul’s children bought him out of the company as part of a 10-year succession plan. That leaves us with the current Claffey Pools, which has seen some positive changes over the years. The company initially focused on constructing inground gunite swimming pools and spas, which remained their primary business for many years. 3 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 06 CLAFFEY POOLS
