How long has Craft Master been working in Hickory?

Craft Master Pools & Spas has been serving Hickory and the broader Catawba Valley for years from our Sherrills Ford home base. Hickory is part of our core service area — not a market we drive to occasionally — and you'll see our completed projects throughout the area.

Do you handle permits and inspections in Hickory?

Yes. Every project is permitted through the City of Hickory / Catawba County, and we manage the entire permit submission, plan review, and inspection scheduling from start to final. Permits are part of the contract — not an add-on you have to chase.

Which neighborhoods in Hickory do you work in?

We've built pools, decks, and full outdoor living programs in Hickory neighborhoods including Oakwood, Cliffdale, and Country Club. If your neighborhood isn't listed, we almost certainly serve it — the list above is a representative sample, not an exhaustive boundary.

What kind of warranty backs a Craft Master project?

Every Craft Master build is backed by our written warranty program. We cover the workmanship and coordinate any manufacturer warranties on the equipment, finishes, and structural components. Specific terms are walked through in person at contract signing so you know exactly what's covered.

Pool Builders & Outdoor Living in Hickory

Custom pools, spas, patios, and complete outdoor living for Hickory homeowners.

Hickory is nestled in the Catawba Valley foothills with stunning mountain views and a revitalized downtown. Known for furniture craftsmanship and a welcoming community spirit. Craft Master Pools & Spas serves Hickory and the broader Catawba Valley with custom swimming pools, integrated spas, pool renovation, patios and decks, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas and pavilions, retaining walls, and yard drainage — nine specialty services delivered by a single crew under one accountable project lead.

Hickory yards range from established in-town properties to larger semi-rural lots that easily accommodate full outdoor living programs. Gentle foothills slope and mature trees often shape the pool environment. Lake Norman proximity and waterfront orientation shape many of the projects we design here — view corridors, shoreline setbacks, and slope toward the water all factor into where the pool can sit on the lot. Catawba Valley properties frequently feature generous lot sizes, mature trees, and gentle slope that can be used to create terraced pool environments. Every project starts with a site walk so the design responds to what the lot actually gives us — soil, slope, sun, existing trees, and any HOA or jurisdictional design guidelines — rather than a template forced onto the property.

Permitting in Hickory runs through the City of Hickory / Catawba County, and we manage the entire submission, plan review, and inspection process as part of every build. Construction planned for Catawba Valley's full four-season climate and the freeze-thaw conditions that demand properly engineered shells and decks drives how we sequence construction and detail the deck, coping, and waterline — the same details that keep older NC pools out of trouble years down the road. Hickory's foothills setting and lake access make for some of the most striking pool sites in our service area.
