Every year, the Northeast Spa and Pool Association recognizes builders, retailers and service companies that demonstrate proficiency in their crafts and high-quality customer service.

“We are excited to recognize how our members delivered for our customers this year, whether constructing a gravity-defying swimming pool, delivering world-class service week after week, or handling customers with ease during a supply chain crunch,” shared Chas Bogardus, president of NESPA.

The builder competition recognizes the design of specific projects. Here, 23 gold awards were given to 12 builders within NESPA’s territory of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and eastern Pennsylvania. Cipriano Landscape Design was honored with the Judge’s Choice Best of Competition Award, pictured above, for receiving the highest overall score.

Two companies received gold awards in the retail competition, which recognizes NESPA firms that deliver world-class in-store shopping experiences.

Awards in the service competition recognizes companies that demonstrate high-quality service, repairs and customer service. Golds went to three service firms:

• Integrity Pool and Spa, Lanoka Harbor, N.J.

• Lipari Pools, Bridgewater, N.J.

• Swimming Pools by Jack Anthony, Patchogue, N.Y.
