Some could figure out how to cut a yard but some cant figure out pool equipment and chemistry especially if they dont have someone with experience they can trust
Agreed! Pool service is definitely a great business to get into. Started my business last March in northern FL. Invested about $30k total between education, equipment, vehicle, and 20 accts to start. Made my initial investment back in 7 months. Havent spent a dollar on advertising. Profit margins are great! Lots of work, but if you have the drive and work ethic you will succeed!
@jojack1273 you sound like an unhappy pool tech that works for another company and doesn't own a business. I only needed to spend about $4k to get into the business. I chose to buy a smaller truck, so I wasn't doing service in a 1 ton diesel. That truck was $11k, around $4k for equipment, education and licensing. When I fist started I bought 10 pools for $8k. After the first couple of months, I made enough money to buy another 10 pools for $6k. It's been a grind for 10 months. It's not easy work but very rewarding and profitable if you stick with it!
Couldnt agree more about the poor service guys. The guy that just shocks and brushes instead of figuring out whats causing the algae. Its more expensive for the customer as well doing it that way
Dude your crazy. In memphis area 40 a week is a steady week without getting burnt out. A guy i worked with had 80 at one point . the dudes wife called the owner and asked him if he was trying to off her husband. A friend of mine just went into business and is charging 75 weekly and 90 for bi weekly. Whats the average in florida?
New pool are guys getting into the business every year, these guys charge $35 a week and the homeowner will take it every time, even if the pool is not safe to swim as long as it looks good, that’s all they care about 😂😂😂
Liess yeah a couple well-established well to do guys who had jobs for decades telling all of us oh yeah it's a great idea. Its not a good paying job its slave labor rates 10$ hr. Just wait n see after costs. And then go ahead and try to raise rates see what happens.
Relax there dawg, sounds like ur in an over saturated area. Plus, it’s good paying if you’re doing P4P! It’s not hard to out compete some boomer that doesn’t know how to target this new generation of people. Pool cleaning have small margins, the only reason you have them is so you can bag there repair work with high margin. Plus you can build a pool route and sell it.

Depends on what area of florida. North vs south, very different rates. I'm in NE Florida and average $180 a month. The cheapest pool I have is $155 (small Screened salt pool). Most expensive is $360 month (huge salt pool with attached 12k gal spa). Chems included.
Started my route from zero in May 2022. Gross income was over 100k in my first full year working 3 days a week!
Can i message you? i am on the verge of starting a route
Seem like I can’t message direct in RUclips. You have an email? Or i can ask here
@@cheexiong1083 ask away

I think you mean if you got more than 30k lying around you will succed. Has nothing to do with work ethic or sacrifice

Hey Buddy, I'm contemplating starting a route from scratch in Orlando, I'd appreciate a few moments of your time to get your thoughts.
@@iskormvach sure thing, just got done with service for the day. What questions do you have?

Aloha David. Did you get your hands on the new power vac? Seems like a compact version. Thank you.
I’m a pool guy ! Well over 100k a year if you are good at the 3 following, business management, sales/marketing and most importantly humble work grit
So I do outdoor work but how hard is servicing 30-40 pools a week. I am 50 and always done physical work just never done this.
Easy. You can do 70 a week if your 50 and in good shape. 👍
