Owning a pool comes with many responsibilities. From keeping it safe, to maintaining water levels and cleanliness, a pool can take up a lot of your free time. For many people, the maintenance can become tedious, but because pool owners are not professionals, they may miss certain problems that can become bigger issues down the road. Thankfully, a professional pool cleaning service can help eliminate these worries and allow you to really focus on enjoying your pool.
Let’s take a closer look at why you should have your pool professionally cleaned on a regular basis.
A Pool Cleaning Service Saves Money in the Long Run.
While you may think that cleaning your pool bi-weekly, monthly or weekly is going to cost you a lot of money, in the long run you’ll be saving money. Professional pool cleaners like the staff at Lone Star Pool Services & Maintenance know the red flags when it comes to pool problems. They can detect issues when they begin and fix them so they don’t become larger, more expensive problems down the road. When you take on pool maintenance on your own, you run the risk of missing these red flags and spending more money as your small problem gets bigger.
Professionals Are Thorough
If you clean your pool by yourself you may think you are hitting all the spots. But, you may not be caring for your pool in the best way. When you choose Lone Star Pool Services & Maintenance, you can count on our staff hitting every spot of your pool. We work on a 23-point service plan that is detailed here. Besides basic pool cleaning and vacuuming, we also take care of chemical analysis and maintenance as well as pool equipment maintenance and service reporting. We email you status reports on your pool as well as any photos of issues we discover.
Consistency
When you take on pool maintenance on your own you may slack off every now and then. That’s not the case with professionals from Lone Star Pool Services & Maintenance. You can count on us to service your pool on the same day each week. We remind you of your appointment via email as well. We have plenty of staff on hand, so you don’t have to worry about missing an appointment.
Avoid Using Unnecessary Chemicals
Keeping your pool’s chemicals balanced is a science. Although you can test your water and try to maintain the right level of chemicals, it’s not easy. You run the risk of not getting the right chemicals or not putting in the right amount. A professional knows exactly what your pool needs. Having your pool cleaned professionally will assure that the right chemicals are being used and that you’re not wasting your money on things you don’t need.
Keep up pool’s value
A pool can add value to a home, but only if it’s maintained properly. No one wants to buy a home with a dirty pool they can’t use and will need thousands of dollars to repair. By keeping up with maintenance and service you are adding value to your home and helping to maintain the value of your pool.
Save on tools
Chemicals are not the only things that will cost you a lot of money when you have a pool. There are many tools that professional pool cleaning companies use that are costly. Hiring a company takes that cost away from you. Although you’ll be paying a company to do the work, you won’t be spending money on equipment you’re unlikely to use that frequently and don’t have room to store.
Things to look for when choosing a pool service company
Once you’re sold on professional pool service, there are things you should look for before choosing a company.
Transparent Pricing & Contracts
Know up front what your contract includes. What types of service are you getting? How often is your service? Is the price locked in? These are all questions to ask before signing any pool cleaning contracts.
Licensed and Insured Workers
Pool service companies should be licensed and insured if they are going to be working on your property. If the company cannot provide you with this type of information you may want to think twice about signing a contract.
Ask for references
While you can certainly read online reviews, you should also ask for references. Any company that is good at what they do and has returning customers will gladly share their reviews with you. If a company is reluctant to share references, you should think twice.
