Westwood & Hillsdale is a community that holds its contractors to a high standard. With charming small-town character, a walkable downtown, and strong Bergen County community bonds, homeowners here invest significantly in their properties and expect every trade partner to show up, perform, and deliver. The Pool Boss is the pool builder that meets that standard consistently. A third-generation firm headquartered in Wayne, NJ, The Pool Boss was featured on Bloomberg Television's "World's Greatest!" as the benchmark for custom pool design and installation throughout New Jersey.

What the Top Pool Builder in Bergen County Looks Like

When Bloomberg Television went looking for the gold standard in Bergen County pool building, The Pool Boss was the answer. What stood out most was not the finished product, but the process. Joe Gorga, who hired The Pool Boss for his own home, described the experience simply: "When they say they're going to be there… they come and they start your job." For Westwood & Hillsdale homeowners who have dealt with contractors who disappear between visits, that consistency is genuinely rare.

A Complete, In-House Build Process

What separates The Pool Boss from the competition is structural, not just stylistic. As a dedicated design-build firm, they carry the project from the drafting table to the final walkthrough without handing it off to outside crews. In Westwood & Hillsdale, that means Bergen County zoning compliance and active residential neighborhood coordination is handled by the same team that designed the pool, not a subcontractor seeing the property for the first time.

Each installation is shaped by original design work specific to the property and the homeowner's vision, executed by phase-specific construction specialists who are selected for their expertise rather than their availability. Throughout the build, real-time progress updates and technician photos keep Westwood & Hillsdale homeowners connected to their project from excavation day through final inspection.

Westwood & Hillsdale: Where Community Reputation Is Everything

Westwood Borough and Hillsdale Borough are among northern Bergen County's most tight-knit communities, where neighbor recommendations carry more weight than any advertisement and a contractor's local reputation is built one project at a time. Both boroughs maintain active construction departments that process pool permits according to Bergen County UCC standards, with required inspections at foundation, bonding, and final completion stages. Westwood's older residential neighborhoods include properties with mature landscaping and established drainage patterns that a responsible pool builder must evaluate before committing to a final design. The Pool Boss has built its Bergen County reputation exactly the way Westwood and Hillsdale homeowners would respect: by showing up when promised, communicating throughout the project, and delivering a finished product that the neighbors notice for all the right reasons.

Ongoing Care That Bergen County Families Rely On

The Bloomberg recognition was about more than building pools. It was about what happens after the last tile is set. The Pool Boss offers Westwood & Hillsdale homeowners a complete ongoing service relationship that protects their investment for the life of the pool:

  • Valet Pool Maintenance: Weekly service so Westwood & Hillsdale homeowners spend their time in the water, not maintaining it.
  • Long-Term Warranty Coverage: Backed by three generations of pool-building expertise, your investment is protected for the long haul.
  • Smart Pool Technology: Automation systems, energy-efficient equipment, and remote controls that bring your pool into the modern age.

The Bottom Line

For Westwood & Hillsdale families, summer is too short and the investment too significant to trust to a builder who treats your project as just another job on the list. The Pool Boss has distinguished itself as the premier pool builder in Bergen County by treating every installation with the attention it deserves. Chris Argenziano, owner and founder, captures the philosophy simply: "We treat these pools like they're ours."

Whatever your vision for your Westwood & Hillsdale backyard, The Pool Boss has the design talent, the technical expertise, and the operational discipline to bring it to life on time and without compromise.
