About Us
A Local Pool Company,Not a Franchise
Point of Pines Pools & Service was built on a simple idea: homeowners deserve pool service that shows up, does the work right, and communicates clearly. That's what we do — every week, across Pinellas County.
Our Story
Built one backyard at a time
Point of Pines Pools & Service is locally owned and operated right here in Pinellas County. We specialize in residential pool maintenance, water chemistry, equipment service and repairs, and new pool surface startups — the work that keeps Florida backyards swim-ready year-round.
Because we're local, our name is on every visit. We don't hide behind a national brand or a ticket system. When something matters to you about your pool, it matters to us — and you can reach the person responsible.

Meet the Owner
The kind of company I wanted to hire myself
I started Point of Pines Pools & Service after experiencing firsthand how frustrating it can be to find a pool company you can truly rely on. As a pool owner myself, I went through everything from national companies to one-man operations, and the experience was often the same — different people showing up, inconsistent service, and promises that weren't always kept.
I knew Pinellas County deserved better.
I didn't start Point of Pines with the goal of becoming the biggest pool company in town. I started it to build the kind of company I wanted to hire myself: local, dependable, trustworthy, and committed to doing what we say we're going to do.
I'm a native Floridian, a Pinellas County resident, a husband, and soon-to-be dad. This is the community my family and I call home, and I take a lot of pride in serving the people who live here.
“For me, success isn't about having the most pools on a route. It's about being the pool professional my customers know they can count on.”

How We Work
What you can expect from us
CPO certified professionalism
Certified Pool Operator training means your water chemistry and equipment are managed to recognized industry standards — not guesswork.
Pools are all we do
We're not a lawn company or a handyman service. Residential pool care is our entire focus, and it shows in the details.
Communication is the product
A clean pool is the baseline. Knowing what was done, what your water needs, and when something needs attention is what makes service feel professional.
Pinellas County, period
We work exclusively in Pinellas County. Our routes stay tight, our service days stay consistent, and our reputation stays local.
