The legacy of Shasta began in 1966 when Bob Ast founded the business and built 26 swimming pools that year. In 1967, his brother Skip joined the team and sales surged to 235 swimming pools. In 1968 sales reached 535 swimming pools and Shasta became Arizona's largest swimming pool builder and has remained there ever since. Shasta has helped over 80,000 families enjoy the pleasure of swimming pool ownership and lifestyle. The family tradition continues with Skip Ast, President of Shasta Industries. His son, Jeff Ast, serves as Vice President of Construction.
