Cody Pools and CEO Mike Church Honored as 2025 Builder of the Year

Cody Pools, a name synonymous with exceptional residential and commercial pool construction in the U.S., has made headlines by winning the coveted 2025 Builder of the Year award from the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA). This award comes as a recognition of both the firm’s and its President and CEO, Mike Church, remarkable commitments to excellence, innovation, and leadership within the pool building industry.

Since its establishment, Cody Pools has consistently pushed the boundaries of design and construction in the pool industry. Founded in Texas in 1994, the company has successfully constructed over 70,000 pools across the nation. Concurrently, it has developed a reputation for superior craftsmanship, customer service, and continuous improvement, earning accolades from diverse industry experts.

Mike Church has been at the helm since 2003, guiding the company through impressive growth from a modest 19 employees to a robust workforce of nearly 450. Under his vision, Cody Pools expanded operations not just in Texas, but across the entire nation. This growth was accomplished through strategic acquisitions of like-minded companies, including California Pools & Landscape in Greater Phoenix, A-Quality Pool Service in Tampa, Platinum Pools in Houston, and American Pools & Spas in Orlando. Such moves have helped the company to solidify its position as the nation’s leading pool builder.

“This honor belongs to every member of our Cody Pools family,” said Mike Church when accepting the award. “Our success is rooted in our culture of collaboration, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding service and craftsmanship to our clients.” Church emphasized that it’s the passion of the team that fuels the company’s growth and success.

The PHTA’s award is not the only commendation this year for Cody Pools. The company’s portfolio also boasts 20 prestigious PHTA International Awards of Excellence in 2025. These awards highlight the most beautiful and innovative pool, spa, and hot tub designs globally. California Pools & Landscape secured an impressive 15 awards, while Cody Pools earned three awards, confirming its reputation as an industry leader in design and innovation.

Cody Pools has consistently been recognized by Pool & Spa News as the #1 Pool Builder in the Nation for 13 consecutive years from 2013-2025. Its growth and success can be attributed not only to outstanding leadership but also to a commitment to exceeding customer expectations.

The achievements of Cody Pools and recognition of Mike Church as Builder of the Year serve as a testament to the power of dedication and visionary leadership in the business. The PHTA’s President and CEO, Sabeena S. Hickman, remarked, “This award celebrates the spirit of excellence and leadership that makes our industry stronger. Cody Pools’ commitment to quality and innovation inspires every builder to dream bigger.”
