About Ozzie Kraft

In a city known for spectacle, Ozzie Kraft has built a reputation on something far rarer: substance. For generations, the most respected homeowners and custom builders in Southern Nevada have trusted us—not for flash, but for results that last.

Now in our third generation of family ownership, Ozzie Kraft stands among the 40 oldest private businesses in Las Vegas. Longevity alone doesn’t set us apart—it’s how we work. Many of our core team members have been with us for over 20 years, bringing unmatched experience and commitment. And unlike others who rely on a rotating cast of subcontractors, we keep everything in-house. Our own experts oversee every stage, every detail—so you get consistency, clarity, and no surprises.

We’ve earned 60+ national and international design awards, but what we value most is trust. Nearly 100% of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients. We don’t need to advertise — our pools do the talking.

So no, we’re not the cheapest option. But if you’re building a pool that’s meant to last — in both design and structure — there’s no name more proven in Southern Nevada than Ozzie Kraft.

The Legacy That Shaped Us

When second-generation builder Kevin Kraft took over in the 1980s, he brought a sharper design eye and an unshakable commitment to quality, elevating the company’s reputation to national acclaim. That tradition continues today with leadership recognized by Watershape University and the International Watershape Institute (IWI)—the industry’s leading organizations for education, certification, and professional excellence. These credentials represent advanced technical knowledge, superior construction standards, and refined design expertise that define every Ozzie Kraft project.

Our Roots in Las Vegas

Ozzie Kraft was the first licensed pool contractor in Las Vegas, founded in 1942, when the city was still finding its footing. In the decades since, we’ve built a reputation that no marketing campaign could buy — because our work has always spoken for itself.

From the fountains at Caesars Palace to glass-bottom innovations to private backyard retreats in The Ridges, MacDonald Highlands, and beyond, we’ve shaped some of the most iconic waterscapes in the region. Our work has been featured on HGTV, in national publications, and recognized globally — but our foundation remains local. Las Vegas is our home.

The Ozzie Kraft Leadership

Why Choose Ozzie Kraft

Choosing a pool builder isn’t just about price — it’s about trust. At Ozzie Kraft, we’ve spent over 80 years earning that trust by building pools and outdoor spaces that impress. We don’t outsource the important parts. We don’t cut corners. From design to construction, everything we do is handled in-house by professionals who care about the details. That’s why the most respected homeowners and builders in Las Vegas continue to choose Ozzie Kraft — decade after decade.

Here’s what that choice means — and what truly sets us apart:

1. Proven Legacy, Real Trust – we’re the first licensed pool contractor in Las Vegas, building here since 1942. Today, we’re one of the 40 oldest private companies in the state — still family-owned, still hands-on, and still trusted by the most exacting clients.

2. Industry-Recognized Leadership – our leadership is recognized by Watershape University and the International Watershape Institute (IWI), the industry’s foremost authorities in education, certification, and professional excellence. These credentials represent advanced expertise in engineering, hydraulics, design, and construction—ensuring your project is guided by professionals with elite technical knowledge and hands-on mastery.

3. Featured in National Media – our work has been featured on HGTV and in major national publications — not because we chase the spotlight, but because excellence tends to get noticed. And when your name carries that kind of weight, every project becomes a reputation piece.

4. In-House Crews – we don’t outsource the core of your project. Our plumbing, steel, and tile crews are in-house, ensuring tight quality control from day one. And when subcontractors are involved, an Ozzie Kraft supervisor is always on-site to manage the details — and protect your investment.

5. Built on Referrals – we don’t run flashy ad campaigns. Nearly 100% of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals — a testament to the quality of our work and the relationships we build.

6. Experts in the 600 Sq. Ft. Pool Law – Southern Nevada’s new surface-area restriction is changing how pools are designed — but it doesn’t limit what’s possible. We’re specialists in maximizing form, function, and luxury within 600 square feet. Small footprint, big impact.

7. Awards Matter – with 60+ national and international design awards, we’ve proven our creative edge. But more important than accolades are what our clients say: the job is done right, the experience is seamless, and the result looks even better than the rendering.

8. Higher Standards, Not Lowest Bids – yes, we cost more than the average pool contractor. That’s intentional. We do the things others don’t — plan deeper, supervise more tightly, and build with longevity in mind. Because in our world, cutting corners costs more in the end.
