Platinum Poolcare, founded in 2007 by industry veterans James Atlas and Terry Smith, specializes in all aspects of pool design, construction and renovation with added focus on specialty aquatic features such as waterfalls, lazy rivers, rock water applications, statuary and other luxury waterscape amenities. The non-union company also provides installation and maintenance services for its customers.
Platinum Poolcare has serviced and constructed pools at hundreds of high-end residential properties throughout the greater Chicagoland area as well as in Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana.
