The Full Pool Closing is our standard winterization. Add a pre-close cleaning visit if your pool needs attention before it goes under the cover.

  • Blowing out and plugging pool lines

Best for Dirty Pools

Closing + Pre-Close Cleaning

$649
any pool · in-ground or above-ground

A dedicated vacuum and cleaning visit before closing day, so your pool winters clean and opens easier in spring.

Everything in the Full Pool Closing, plus:

  • One scheduled cleaning visit before the closing date
  • Vacuuming when conditions allow
  • Additional skimming and brushing
  • Debris removal
  • Water testing and preparation before winterization

Vacuuming depends on adequate water clarity, water level, and functioning equipment.

Add-ons

Add any of these to either package when you book. Each is priced on top of the package.

  • Winter cover installation, $75: we anchor and tension your hard (safety) cover, or set your tarp and fill the water weights.
  • In-ground pool cleaner removal, $100 each: we pull, drain, and store your automatic pool cleaner for the winter.
  • Attached spa, $75: the spa is winterized along with the pool.
  • Cartridge or DE filter cleaning, $75: a full filter clean before the equipment is put to bed.
Conditions
  • Vacuuming is not part of the Full Pool Closing. If the pool needs it, add the pre-close cleaning visit.
  • Excessive debris, heavy leaf removal, green pool cleanup, equipment repairs, replacement plugs, replacement fittings, and additional visits are not included.
  • Additional charges may apply for unusually difficult covers, inaccessible equipment, excessive water removal, or pools requiring more than standard preparation.
  • Vacuuming depends on adequate water clarity, water level, and functioning equipment.
  • Customers must provide access to the pool, equipment, electricity, and water.
  • Winter covers must be available and in usable condition unless a new cover is purchased separately.
  • No closing package includes equipment repairs or guarantees against damage caused by pre-existing equipment issues, structural defects, cover failure, severe weather, or improper water levels after service.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a pool closing cost?

There are two packages, and the price is the same for in-ground and above-ground pools. The Full Pool Closing is $499 and covers the complete winterization with standard chemical balancing and winterizing chemicals included, plus a light cleaning (skimming and baskets). The Closing + Pre-Close Cleaning is $649 and adds a scheduled vacuum and cleaning visit before your closing date. Add-ons: winter cover installation (hard cover or tarp with water weights) $75, in-ground pool cleaner removal and storage $100 each, attached spa $75, and a cartridge or DE filter cleaning $75.

When should I close my pool?

In our area, most pools should be closed between mid-September and mid-October. Closing before the first hard freeze protects your plumbing and equipment from damage.

What happens if I do not winterize my pool?

Skipping winterization can lead to frozen and cracked plumbing lines, damaged pumps and filters, and severe algae buildup. Repairs from freeze damage can cost thousands of dollars.

Do you provide the winter cover?

Cover installation is a $75 add-on on either package: we anchor and tension your existing hard (safety) cover, or set your tarp and fill the water weights. If you need a new cover, let us know and we can source one for you at a competitive price.

How long does a pool closing take?

A standard closing takes about 2 to 3 hours. This includes draining equipment, blowing lines, and adding chemicals, plus installing the cover if you add it.
