From the time he was 13, Steve Ramsey spent every summer helping to build and service swimming pools for his grandparents and their pool business, Bud Lee Pools Service, that had been successfully up and running since the early 1960’s. When Steve graduated from high school, he began working full time for Bud Lee Pools. In 1996, Steve and his father Stan decided they wanted to continue on their own and opened Waters Edge Pools in Marysville. Steve’s father passed in 2000, and with the deteriorating health of his grandparents, Bud Lee Pools closed in 2007. Sadly they have now all passed, but their portraits proudly hang in the store today.
Steve’s work values were passed down through his family, and the Ramseys had a strong commitment to their industry. He learned to always commit to customers and commit to education. That is why all of the office staff, technicians, building crew, and store employees all work hard to achieve the highest level of customer service and satisfaction. Even though there is no “pool school” and education in the swimming pool industry is not easy, continuing education in the pool field is a priority for us. The staff attends trade shows, conferences, and factory seminars so we can keep up with the latest trends and equipment that have changed since Steve first started building pools. Accomplishments proudly hang in our showroom to show we take this pool business seriously!
Some things to be aware of when looking for qualified pool installation are credentials, qualifications, insurance, and workers compensation insurance. The staff members at Water’s Edge Pools are qualified in pool installation and service – We are fully insured and carry workers compensation as well. A pool is a big investment and we want to make sure you are at ease throughout the entire process.
Finally, we would like to welcome a FOURTH generation Ramsey to the team! Steve’s son Jarod has joined Water’s Edge Pools in the journey to continue the legacy of this family’s swimming pool profession.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family and the business we love. We hope to gain your business and trust, and look forward to making your dream backyard a reality!
