Pool Services Listings
The pool services listings on this site compile verified and self-reported service providers operating across the United States, organized to help property owners, HOA managers, and facility operators identify qualified companies for specific pool maintenance, repair, and inspection needs. Each entry is drawn from publicly accessible business registration data, state licensing databases, and provider-submitted profiles. Understanding how entries are structured, what they contain, and where gaps exist is essential before using this directory for any sourcing or vetting decision. For broader context on why this resource exists and what it covers, see the pool services directory purpose and scope page.
How to read an entry
Each listing entry follows a standardized format composed of 6 discrete fields:
- Business name — The legal or DBA (doing-business-as) name as registered with the relevant state authority.
- Service category tags — One or more classifications drawn from the service taxonomy defined in types of pool services explained. Tags distinguish between routine maintenance, chemical treatment, equipment service, safety inspection, and specialty work.
- Geographic service area — Expressed as a ZIP code radius, county, or named metro region. National franchises may list multi-state regions.
- License and certification indicators — Flagged when a provider has supplied documentation or when a license number has been cross-referenced against a named state agency database (see Verification Status below).
- Pool type scope — Indicates whether the provider services residential inground pools, above-ground pools, commercial pools, saltwater systems, fiberglass shells, vinyl liner pools, or hot tubs and spas. Not all providers cover all pool types.
- Contact method — Phone, web form, or email as submitted. Contact details are not editorially validated beyond format checks.
Entries are sorted alphabetically within geographic region by default. Filtering by service category or pool type reorders results dynamically. When two providers share identical service tags and ZIP coverage, the entry with a verified license indicator appears first.
What listings include and exclude
Listings include:
- Licensed contractors and pool service companies operating in at least one US state
- Sole proprietors and small operators registered as legal business entities
- Franchise locations of national pool service brands that have submitted location-level profiles
- Providers offering at least one of the service types catalogued in this directory, from pool cleaning services through pool leak detection services
Listings exclude:
- Individual handypersons or unlicensed operators, regardless of years of experience
- Equipment retailers who do not offer installation or maintenance services
- Providers operating exclusively outside the United States
- Companies with an active disciplinary action recorded by a state contractor licensing board at the time of indexing
- Pool builders and new construction contractors whose work does not include ongoing maintenance or service contracts
The directory does not function as a referral service. Inclusion in a listing does not constitute endorsement of any provider. For guidance on evaluating individual companies independently, see how to verify a pool service company and how to choose a pool service company.
Commercial vs. residential listings: Commercial pool operators in most US states fall under distinct regulatory frameworks — the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a reference standard, and state health departments enforce their own versions. Listings tagged as commercial-capable reflect a provider's self-reported ability to serve facilities subject to those standards. Residential listings are not assumed to carry commercial competency.
Verification status
Listings carry one of three verification status designations:
- Verified — License number confirmed against a named state licensing authority database (e.g., the California Contractors State License Board, Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation, or equivalent agencies in states that license pool service contractors). Confirmation was performed at the time of initial indexing.
- Self-Reported — Provider supplied license information, but the number was not independently cross-referenced at indexing time. The raw data is displayed as submitted.
- Unverified — No license information was submitted or available. The provider may operate in a state that does not require a specific pool service license, or documentation may not have been supplied.
As of this directory's last structural update, 34 US states maintain some form of contractor or pool-specific licensing requirement that can be cross-referenced programmatically. The remaining states either rely on general contractor registration or have no state-level pool service license requirement. State-by-state regulatory details are covered in pool service regulations by state and pool service licensing and certification requirements.
Verification status is a point-in-time indicator. Licenses can lapse, be suspended, or be revoked after indexing. Independent verification before engaging any provider is the user's responsibility.
Coverage gaps
The directory has known geographic and categorical gaps that reflect the underlying data sources:
Geographic gaps: Rural counties in the Mountain West and Great Plains regions are underrepresented. States with low pool density — defined here as fewer than 50,000 registered residential pools — account for a disproportionate share of listings with no verified providers in a given county. Alaska and North Dakota have the fewest total listings of any US states in this index.
Service category gaps: Pool safety inspection services and pool equipment inspection services are underrepresented relative to cleaning and chemical services. Providers offering these inspection-specific functions frequently hold certifications through the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) or National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF), but those credentials are not always surfaced in state licensing databases, creating indexing blind spots.
Pool type gaps: Listings for pool service for fiberglass pools and pool service for vinyl liner pools are thinner than those for standard plaster inground pools, as fewer providers explicitly tag these specializations in submitted profiles.
Gap corrections are accepted through provider-submitted profile updates. Submission instructions are available on the contact page.
