Our
History
Valley
Pools & Spas had somewhat humble beginnings, starting in Hilary and Bonnie
Berczyk's garage and home in 1974. Shown below is a timeline of Valley's
growth from a service-only business to a nationally-recognized, award-winning
company selling, installing and servicing all of the products we carry.
Today, Valley Pools & Spas is able to handle virtually any service need
from installing your pool, to delivering a new spa to servicing your filter
with our 18-vehicle fleet.
