About Lower MI Pools
Family-owned, community-driven, and committed to building pools that bring families together.

20+
Years of Experience
Meet the Owner, James Glass
For James Glass, pools are more than a business. They are a lifelong passion rooted in family, hard work, and craftsmanship.
What began as a 10 year-old boy tagging along to job sites with his dad has grown into a dream turned reality. Those early days spent learning the trade, watching projects come to life, and seeing families enjoy their backyards sparked something in James that never faded.
Although James spent much of his adult life building a successful career as a master mechanic, his heart always remained in creating beautiful outdoor spaces. Pool installation is more than a job to him. It is the dream he has worked toward for years.
Today, with over two decades of hands-on experience, James has helped transform backyards across Lower Michigan into personal retreats where families can relax, celebrate, and make lasting memories. He is personally involved in every project, from the first design consultation to the final walk-through, making sure every detail meets the high standards he would expect in his own backyard.
When he is not building pools, James enjoys spending time with his wife, their two children, and caring for their hobby farm. Family is at the center of everything he does, and that same care and dedication carries into every pool he installs.
For James, this business is not just about pools. It is about building spaces where families come together.
