Scotty Payne sits down with homeowners, industry experts, and pool professionals to give you the straight story on buying, building, and owning a custom inground pool. No fluff. No sales pitch. Just honest conversations.
Every episode is built around the questions real buyers are asking — and the honest answers most builders won't give you.
Real clients sharing what the process was actually like — the decisions, the surprises, and what they'd do differently. Unscripted and unfiltered.
What does a custom pool actually cost in today's market? Scotty breaks down the numbers, the variables, and what drives prices up or down.
What actually happens from the first meeting to the first swim? Scotty walks through every phase of construction — what to expect and when.
The questions you should be asking every pool builder before you sign anything — and the red flags that most buyers miss until it's too late.
Freeform vs. geometric. Gunite vs. fiberglass. Spa or no spa. Scotty and his guests break down the design decisions that matter most.
Opening, closing, chemistry, maintenance — everything you need to keep your pool running perfectly, season after season, from the people who build them.
25+ years building custom inground pools across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
Scotty Payne brings over 25 years of personal industry experience to every pool he builds. He founded Scott Payne Custom Pools on a simple belief: that homeowners deserve straight answers, honest pricing, and a builder who actually picks up the phone.
