Leisure Craft Pools
Leisure Craft Pools was founded in 1972 by Michael Kohlhas as a provider of renovation services to owners of in-ground swimming pools. Services include tile, plaster, concrete, plumbing and maintenance for the residential and commercial markets. The company has enjoyed steady growth over the last three-plus decades, with revenues doubling after a three-year period between 2001 and 2004, when concrete and service divisions were added.

Today, the firm employs 34 people, including four members of two generations of the
Kohlhas family. Michael remains president and his wife, Judy, works in human resources. Their children, Jeffrey and Laura, are chief operating officer and vice president, respectively.

The firm places a premium on employee training while continually reinvesting in new
equipment.

Leisure Craft pools contributes to area community organizations, including the WBFO, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
