Ivan Suarez, owner of Malibu Pools, sat down with Michael Miller, publisher of Miami’s Community Newspapers, for a conversation about pool design, backyard renovations and giving back to South Florida. The interview was published Oct. 30.
Suarez said his family’s construction background shaped his career. He described how the company grew from pool servicing into construction, renovations, retail stores and franchising. He also talked about reinvesting in the business, offering dependable customer service and keeping long-term relationships with customers.
For homeowners thinking about a backyard upgrade, Suarez said the design process starts with understanding what the owner wants and how the family lives. The discussion covered custom pool shapes, updated finishes, patios and outdoor spaces meant to fit the home.
Water safety was a major focus. Miller and Suarez discussed adult supervision, protective barriers, door alarms and swimming education. Suarez said he sponsors children’s swim lessons and wants to expand access to them in underserved communities.
