If you own a pool or spa and live in Orange County how do you find a company to hire for your pool and spa cleaning service?

 Google Pool and Spa Cleaning Orange County

You could perform a Google search on the term “pool and spa cleaning Orange County” and see what happens. You can find Beachside Pool Service this way,  as you’ll see we do show up on the first page. However, you will find another 3,780,000 results. No way! While some of these results are relevant, a lot are not, and it can be tedious to sift through the bad and good. While many of us rely on Google, it may not provide the best approach.

 Check Yelp for Pool and Spa Cleaning

Since Google may not be your best bet, then why not try Yelp? While you will quickly find Beachside and see our outstanding reviews with a search of pool and spa cleaning companies that service Laguna Beach and the surrounding areas, you will also see an additional 820 listings. Some of these competitors are friends of mine, and I know they do good work, but I can only GUARANTEE that with Beachside, you will be 100% satisfied, because only with Beachside is my reputation for quality and business integrity at stake. So, yes, Yelp can be very useful, but it still may be difficult to find the perfect provider.

 Interview and Check References

If you have spent time and effort searching Google and Yelp to no avail, here’s some advice that may help. If you want to find a reputable company you can trust to provide quality service you need; then you should interview these companies as if you were hiring an employee. Your pool/spa service company should be your partner in maintaining the value and condition of your pool or spa. If the company does not have time to talk to you on the phone or in person, they do not have time to service your pool properly.

Ask how long have they been in business. Pool cleaners notoriously come and go quickly. You do not want to waste your time with a business that does not have integrity and credibility. These along with superior customer service skills are the cornerstones of a successful business. A successful business has longevity

Ask for references. A reputable company will be more than happy to provide a list of satisfied customers.

 Check Insurance and Licenses

Do not even consider hiring a company that is not licensed and insured. Your pool and spa cleaning company needs to be insured for several reasons:

•  Insurance protects the investment in your equipment.       In a worst-case scenario, their insurance covers you against damages.
•  Insurance protects your personal liability. If the technician is injured on your property and the company is not insured, you could be liable.

You don’t need a special professional license to clean pools in Orange County. However, you want your pool and spa cleaning company to be licensed. If mechanical or structural repairs become necessary, an unlicensed company will subcontract out the work. You will have no control over the subcontractor, however you can be liable if they are not paid. This is not a good situation.

 Ask for an Estimate and Review the Contract

A reputable pool cleaning service will give you a free estimate for service or repairs. This estimate should be truly free, with no obligation. If a pool and spa cleaning company wants to charge you for this initial consultation, then immediately mark them off your list. Ask to see a copy of the service contract. You should know exactly what services you will receive for the money you pay. If the contract is not in writing, or is not easy to read and understand, then decline to do business with the company.
