Pools and Spas
Have you ever had a dream so big and exciting that you woke up feeling drawn to the possibility of achieving it? The importance of dreams vary greatly from person to person and holds significance depending on the time and season it happens in someone’s life.
Built from the dream of a father, mother and two sons, Van Kirk & Sons Pools & Spas was created. We all know or have heard the challenges of being an entrepreneur. Starting your own family business takes courage, grit and discipline. From cleaning cesspools to building some of the most luxurious residential and commercial pools and spas, the Van Kirks started below the bottom. Their mastery was born underground.
Robert Van Kirk and Tim Van Kirk
“Every pool built is a fulfillment of our dream,” says Tim. That’s why if you need a top-notch pool developer, look no further than Van Kirk & Sons Pools & Spas, based in Deerfield Beach. Proof is in the numbers: They’re approaching their 50-year anniversary.
The motto is simple at Van Kirk & Sons Pools & Spas. “If you dream it, we design it and we build it.” Owners Bobby, Tim and Robert Van Kirk have spent their lives in the business founded by the family in 1975, watching it evolve over time. “Our expert knowledge provides customers with the assurance they’re looking for when they want to design their pool and turn their dream into a reality,” says Bobby. “We’ve seen it all and done it all.”
Minus the side hustles of their youth, building pools has been their only job. You know it the moment you shake Bobby and Tim’s calloused, rough and rugged hands. Their firm grip conveys decades of finished work and answers the wonder of what meeting one of history’s great sculptors or builders would be like.
Naturally, the family business grew as the next generation of Van Kirks went to work. Like his father Bobby, Robert Van Kirk learned the trade from below the bottom and 20 years later has emerged to help lead the company. Watching the industry turn into an artisan’s trade captivated Brian and Kevin Van Kirk, industry certified master designers. “We push the limits on design every day,” says Brian and Kevin. “We take great pride in creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs that exceed our clients’ expectations.”
Over the years, the Van Kirks have grown their family business into Florida’s No. 1 luxury pool and spa builder and are ranked in the top 10 within the country. Only doing business in south Florida, they credit their team of tenured professionals with years of experience working together. After building thousands of pools and winning hundreds of the industry’s awards, you may wonder what they have left to accomplish.
With technology ever advancing, pool building has evolved into outdoor living spaces where the Van Kirk team convert the entire backyard into a resort-like environment. Whether you’re looking for something modern and sleek or tropical and vibrant, their work is on the cutting edge. They create a tech infused paradise by using the most advanced technology to control state-of-the-art water features, dynamic lighting and fire bowls from the palm of your hand. “We want our customers to enjoy the presentation and performance of their living space,” says Robert.
Customers become long-time friends as they value building relationships during the journey of construction. The team of professionals communicate with customers, providing day-to-day updates on their project’s progress. “We work diligently to create satisfied customers,” says Tim. “We truly value every person that chooses to work with us. We don’t take that lightly.” Every customer works with an internal team that holds their hands throughout the process from the project’s design to the dig to its completion.
Always mindful of the founder’s story, the Van Kirks have a history of supporting the local community through charitable donations and hands-on involvement. They work with a half-dozen charities that support education, children, health and wellness and community development. While some people say giving is living, the Van Kirks do.
