Hi folks,

Does anyone have experience with the pool service industry (cleaning + repairs/maintenance)?

I am looking at the space and would appreciate thoughts on what to look out for in this industry.

Thanks!

I'm working on developing a platform to, on one side, recruit pool owners through an elevated service offering (through technology), instead of buying routes from current service providers (which would reduce the cost of acquisition), and once acquired offer customer service, payments, pool status, upsell offerings, etc. to customers, while maintaining an increased level of service

We have one pool service opportunity under contract. The biggest hurdle for other buyers was finding skilled staff to replace the owner's son who was temporarily acting as a pool technician but did not want to own the business. Current buyer came from the home service industry and was able to hire seceral technicians easily, making hiring skills a key differentiator.
