Our History:
As the "hands-on" technical leader of the company, Scott learned all aspects of swimming pool design, construction, maintenance and repair while working for another local pool company during his college years. By 1993, he had formed and was running that company's entire maintenance operation.
In 1994, Scott and his lovely bride Heather chose to blend their talents and passions and formed Denscot. Initially working from their home, they now run operations from a repurposed 1853 farmhouse at 269 New Milford Turnpike, between Litchfield and New Milford, Connecticut.
Scott obtained his APSP Certified Building Professional and Certified Service Technician certifications, and became licensed to perform all pool-related services in western Connecticut and eastern New York. As the company grows, he continues to provide his employees with the same level of advanced training that he received.
Homeowners praise Scott and his leadership team for their extensive depth of knowledge, and for their courtesy and patience when answering questions for homeowners. Heather's office management and retail team scores high praise for the tidiness of Denscot's Retail Center, and the helpfulness of the staff.
