Meet John Pignataro

President & Master Pool Construction Specialist

At the helm of Apollo Pools is President John Pignataro, an accomplished aquatic construction authority bringing over 35 years of specialized field experience to homeowners across Hillsborough County, FL. Grounded in a deep tradition of hands-on leadership, structural engineering excellence, and personalized customer care, John leads Apollo Pools as a premier family-owned and operated pool construction and renovation enterprise. His lifelong career in the swimming pool industry has established him as a trusted voice for residential property owners seeking custom-built swimming pools, structural restorations, and elevated outdoor living spaces.

John’s core professional expertise encompasses the entire pool construction and renovation lifecycle. From initial architectural layout and engineering design to excavation, shotcrete application, custom masonry, tile work, plumbing mechanics, and modern automation integration, John maintains comprehensive technical oversight on every job site. Recognizing that Florida's unique coastal geography, high water tables, expansive sandy soils, and severe weather patterns require strict construction standards, John engineers every Apollo Pools build to endure local environmental stressors while delivering decades of resort-style aquatic enjoyment.

More Than 35 Years of Direct Owner Supervision and Family-Owned Integrity

For more than three decades, John Pignataro has built Apollo Pools around a straightforward, client-centered operating model: direct owner oversight on every single project. Unlike larger pool construction conglomerates that pass homeowners through revolving doors of sales representatives, project managers, and third-party subcontractors, John personally directs each build and renovation. By eliminating middleman communication barriers, John guarantees clear client updates, absolute job-site accountability, transparent expectations, and master-level execution from initial concept to the final water fill.

John believes that building or remodeling a swimming pool should be an exciting and stress-free investment for any family. Under his presidency, Apollo Pools operates with a commitment to honest, transparent pricing and reliable communication, delivering detailed project estimates within a single week of consultation. Backing his firm's technical precision and material selection, John offers a lifetime structural warranty on pool builds, providing complete long-term peace of mind for Hillsborough County property owners. Honoring those who have served the community and country, John also provides dedicated discounts for seniors and military veterans.

Custom Pool Engineering, Comprehensive Remodeling & Outdoor Living Solutions

In addition to luxury new pool installations, John possesses extensive expertise in pool remodeling, structural resurfacing, and modern equipment upgrades. Over time, Florida pool structures can experience surface wear, outdated tile motifs, inefficient single-speed pump filtration, or settling deck pavers. John works directly with homeowners to redesign existing pool footprints, incorporating modern water features, energy-efficient LED illumination, salt-chlorination systems, sun shelves, elevated spas, and custom travertine or brick paver decking.

Beyond construction and remodeling, John ensures Apollo Pools delivers a complete end-to-end service suite, including routine pool maintenance, chemical balancing, water clarity management, and premium pool equipment supply. By combining advanced hydraulic design with high-performance water care products, John ensures that every pool built or restored by his team remains easy to maintain, safe for families, and energy-efficient to operate year-round.
