BUSINESS An Outdoor Oasis Awaits! Dave Miklovic started his career as most contractors do - working “from the ground up” beginning as a brick and block mason which led to jobs as a carpenter with the film studios in Southern California building sets, editing and sweetening bays. In the early 80’s he worked with his uncle building spec homes and commercial projects along with building swimming pools and installing fiberglass Dave Miklovic pools. Business Spotlight By Millie Drum In 1991 Dave became a licensed contractor and started his business Professional Design & Construction. The scope of his work expanded from new custom construction and remodels to luxurious backyard renovation that includes spa retreats, pools, concrete work, outdoor kitchens, patio covers, pergolas, waterfalls and water features. For residential projects, Dave offers his comprehensive design perspective that incorporates the indoor and outdoor lifestyle of his clients. Professional Design & Construction is a dealer for Viking, San Juan and Aloha fiberglass pools; all offering a wide variety of designs to fit every homeowner’s needs. Typically a fiber- glass pool can be installed in 3 to 4 weeks. The most rewarding part of Dave’s business is satisfying his clients, whether it’s remodeling their home or creating an oasis in their backyard. Free estimates and financing is available.
