Jonas McCullar has spent nearly twenty years — since 2006 — inside the pool trade in Tennessee, where he was born and raised. Gunite shells. Plaster chemistry. Liner measurement. Equipment hydraulics. The kind of knowledge that only accumulates one pool at a time, over hundreds of pools, in the same climate and the same clay soil his customers’ pools sit in.

Nashville Pool Renovations is what that experience built: a company aimed at the pools that already exist. Middle Tennessee has decades of aging inground pools — great bones, tired surfaces — and Jonas saw that the owners of those pools were being underserved by builders who’d rather sell a new dig than rebuild what’s there. Renovation isn’t our department. It’s our whole business.

Away from the job sites, Jonas and his wife Kelsey are raising four kids — which, he’ll tell you, makes managing five renovation crews feel like the easy part of the week.

Operations run through Carson McCullar, who keeps every project’s crews, materials, and schedule moving in the same direction — the unglamorous discipline that separates a three-week renovation from a three-month one. Add the specialist crews around them and every NPR project draws on more than fifty years of combined pool expertise.
