Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I charge for weekly pool maintenance?
The standard is $100–$150 per month for weekly service on a standard residential pool. That includes skimming, vacuuming, chemical balancing, and a basic equipment check. Filter cleaning is a separate add-on ($75–$100 per clean). Green pool recovery is a one-time charge of $200–$400 depending on severity.
How do I build a profitable pool cleaning route?
Density is everything. 20 pools in the same 5-mile radius at $125/month each is $2,500/month with minimal drive time. Spread across a city? Half that revenue gets eaten by gas and windshield time. Quote fast, lock in recurring clients in tight neighborhoods, and your route builds itself through referrals.
