7 phases from zero to booked

This isn't a vague "tips and tricks" PDF. It's a real launch roadmap with specific steps, real prices, and actual timelines.

1

Plan Your Service Area

Week 1

Weekly maintenance, monthly membership cleanups, openings/closings, or repairs? Map your target neighborhoods, research pool density, and set your 20-account 90-day target.

2

Get Licensed & Insured

Week 1โ€“2

LLC, EIN, Certified Pool Operator (CPO) license, general liability, and which states require a contractorโ€™s license for pool work. Complete checklist with costs.

3

Chemicals & Testing

Week 2

Chlorine, pH adjusters, algaecides, stabilizers, shock โ€” what every pool needs weekly, how to read test results, and how to build chemical cost into your service price.

4

Equipment & Tools

Week 2

Telescoping poles, nets, brushes, vacuum heads, test kits, chemical storage โ€” complete equipment list with prices. Professional starter kit: ~$2,000.

5

Build Your Routes

Week 2โ€“3

How to cluster accounts by neighborhood, build efficient weekly routes, use route software, and price your stops so every day is worth $500+ in recurring revenue.

6

Get Found

Week 3โ€“4

Google Business Profile, Facebook neighborhood groups, door-to-door scripts for pool communities, HOA partnerships, and seasonal promotion timing for openings and closings.

7

Grow & Systematize

Month 2โ€“6

Add equipment repair and sales, seasonal opening/closing packages, automation system installs, and hire a route tech so you can run the business instead of every pool.
