Those are in-ground prices; above-ground pools are $50 less on every package ($299, $399, and $549). An attached spa adds $75 to any package, and a cartridge or DE filter cleaning can be added for $75. Green or heavily neglected pools may need extra treatment, and we always tell you before performing any additional billable work.
Most pools in our area should be opened in late April or early May, once daytime temperatures stay above 70 degrees consistently. Opening earlier helps prevent algae growth under the cover.
A typical opening takes 2 to 3 hours. If the pool needs extra cleaning or equipment repairs, it may take a bit longer.
We clean and fold your cover and leave it on your property in a convenient location. We do not offer off-site storage at this time.
We recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours after the chemical shock treatment before swimming. This gives the chemicals time to circulate and reach safe levels.
