How to Choose the Best Pool Cleaning Company for Your Needs

Last year, pool installers estimated a 200% bump in sales from the previous year, 2019. It's no secret that pools are one of the hot money items that many homeowners want.

Building a pool is the first step, but how do you care for it after? Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs are all necessary with cleaning needing to be done regularly. Be honest with yourself and if you don't have the time to complete these tasks, hire the pros.

Read on to learn how to choose the best pool cleaning company.

Customer Reviews

The best pool cleaning company in your area will have the reviews to back their services up. Pool company websites should have testimonials listed for you to read. You can also check popular review sites, Google being the main one. If there are also sites for most major areas that give a top rated list, like Expertise.com.

It's not uncommon for a company to have a few bad reviews, but if the bad outweighs the good, you'll want to move on to another business. It's also a good idea to check how a company responds to their negative reviews, if at all.

Ask your neighbors, friends, and family if they have any referrals to offer you.

Compare Fees

If you need to clean your pool, but don't have time to do it yourself, hiring a pool cleaning company is the best option. You won't want to leave your pool dirty as it can have negative effects.

Look at several companies to compare fees and find one that fits within your budget. Opting for the cheapest company might not be the best choice as price often reflects the quality. Know the prices in your area and be skeptical if one is far below the going rate. Here in Las Vegas it is next to impossible to do a pool for $100 and be profitable. If something sounds too good to be true it probably is. What these types of companies typically do is take on more customers than they can handle. They might be fine for a few months but what tends to happen is that they start to get unreliable and start skipping visits. If possible, find a company that notifies you after they’ve serviced your pool. If the company doesn’t have a system to verify each visit then be skeptical as to why that is. 

Think about your needs and balance the cost with the quality of service. Is it more cost effective to pay $100 and not know if/when your service company came or is it worth it to pay a few dollars more per visit and know exactly when they were there every week? You'll want to get the most out of what you are paying for.

Customer Service

When looking for a pool cleaning company "near me," you'll find all of the contact information available for each business. A quick phone call or message can tell you a lot about the customer service of a swimming pool cleaning service. Do they answer the phone? Are they friendly and courteous? Are they willing to answer all of your questions or are they impatient?  

This might not seem like a major hiring factor but it is important to work well with a company especially if you opt for weekly services.

Tools and Products

A lot of pool cleaning companies also provide pool maintenance. Before hiring a company for either reason, it's important to know what tools and products they offer.

You'll want your pool to be free of low-quality chemicals and cleaning products that are bad for your skin. Make sure the company you choose uses safe chemicals and is willing to explain what they are and why they’re using them. 

Cleaning Packages

The best pool cleaning company offers different cleaning packages that allow you to pay only for the services that you need. Find a company that offers cleaning, maintenance, and repairs.
