Why Custom Matters More Than Ever

Think about it: your morning coffee order is probably customized. Extra shot, oat milk, half sweet. Starbucks says there are more than 170,000 possible drink combinations.  At Skillful Home Recreation in Portland, Maine, we believe the same holds true for custom pool tables, spas, and playsets— personalization makes all the difference.

Personalization is everywhere — and it feels good. It makes something small feel like it was made just for you.

But What If It Lasted Decades?

With home recreation, personalization isn’t about ten minutes of caffeine or a playlist that shifts tomorrow. It’s about choices that last years — even decades — in your home.

Olhausen Pool Tables

An Olhausen pool table is never “off the shelf.” Each one is built to order in the exact size, wood finish, rail style, and cloth color you choose. The result is a table that’s not only made for your game, but also for your home.

Bullfrog Spas

No two Bullfrog Spas are alike, thanks to the JetPak® Therapy System. You choose the therapy seats that fit your body best, arrange them the way you like, and even swap them out over time. It’s the most personalized hot tub experience available — and it evolves with you.

Rainbow Play Systems

Rainbow isn’t just a swing set. It’s an adventure that grows with your kids. Towers, slides, monkey bars, climbing walls, tunnels — with countless configurations, Rainbow Play Systems become a true custom play space for your backyard.

Why That Changes the Price

When something can be built in so many different ways, there isn’t one “number” that fits. And that’s not a downside — it’s the upside. It means you’re not boxed into someone else’s version. You get your own.

Our Pricing is Designed around You

Your home isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your pool table, spa, or playset shouldn’t be either. That’s why our pricing is designed around you — flexible ranges, honest expectations, and an easy way to find the number that’s right for your family.
