Why a Puravida Outdoor Living custom pool?

NEW JERSEY CUSTOM SWIMMING POOL AND SPA BUILDER

Learn What Makes Us Unique

“Pura vida”, is a way of life. It is welcoming, it is a celebration of life, and it is about focusing on what is important in life. Puravida means spending time with the people you care about, enjoying the simplicities in life, such as nature and great food, and taking time to relax. Puravida Outdoor Living was born out of the desire to create an outdoor space for families and friends to gather and partake in what it means to live “pura vida,” right at home.

Puravida Outdoor Living is licensed and fully insured!

As with all contractors you allow on your property, you should ensure that your swimming pool professional is a registered business with the State of New Jersey, is licensed, and fully insured.  Puravida Outdoor Living is fully registered, holds a New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor’s License (HIC# 13VH11729400), and maintains ample general liability and workman’s compensation coverage. While there are no legal requirements at this time to operate as a swimming pool professional, one should look to hire a professional who makes the commitment to obtain certifications from PHTA, the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance.  Puravida owners Chris Rauschenbach and Sam Folaron are heavily involved in NESPA, the Northeast Pool and Spa Association, a division of PHTA.  Both are board members of the local chapter and both hold certifications.  Chris has earned the Certified Pool Builder designation while Sam holds the Certified Service Technician designation.  Both certifications require continuing education to ensure that they are keeping up with changing standards and state requirements.  Chris and Sam also ensure that all employees are attending safety courses, educational classes, and product trainings to upload the highest level of service to their customers.
