About

We put our 70 years of experience behind everything we design, build, restore, and maintain.

Our Story

Incorporated in 1949 as Carter Construction, we were (and continue to be) pioneers in the South Florida pool industry. In 1962, then manager, Ike Eikevik purchased and changed the name of the company to Ike’s Carter Pool and Maintenance. 70 years later we’re still crafting one-of-a-kind pools and backyard living spaces for the most discerning clients.

Our Promise

More than just a pool company, we design, build, restore, and maintain the most elegant and exciting aquatic environments that fit our clients’ coveted lifestyles. Founded in 1949, we have been setting swimming pool design and technology trends in South Florida for the past 70 years and counting. We enhance homes with immersive pieces of art, which incorporate fine waterscapes into the surrounding terrain and architecture. We strive to provide the perfect blend of beauty and function, to satisfy the most discerning tastes.

70+ years of delivering exceptional customer service.

After using an independent pool contractor for years, we finally switched to Ike’s. The pool, developed a stain that the old contractor simply shrugged his shoulders over. Ike’s responded immediately, and over the next two weeks, sent a full court press of technicians to get the pool back to normal. We got what we paid for and now in excellent hands with Ike’s. I highly recommend them for their response, their service and their professionalism.

The best pool builder, contractor, service & Maintenance and supply company in the state! I have done business with them for the last 25 years or more. They are solid and here to stay! You can take that to the bank

Ike’s built our 47′ pool and maintains the pool as well. They did what they said and continue to do as they promised. I would recommend them without concern. They will deliver. If you have concerns, call Gary the owner and he will call you back. Like I said, you want what you paid for, call Ike’s. You want BS and being short changed call someone else.”
