Why we publish the checklist
I have a pool at my own house and I look after it myself, so I know exactly what the weekly job is and where people cut it short. That is why we publish the list of what we do on every visit — you can hold us to it, and you can ask anyone else for theirs. If something on the pad is failing, we tell you before it strands you, and if a shell is past washing we say so instead of selling you another wash.
What we actually do
Weekly routes, and the jobs in between
Pool Care LA is a family-owned pool service working out of Studio City. We keep residential pools and spas running across the Foothill communities and the Los Angeles neighborhoods next to them — weekly, all year, because pools here never get a closed season.
There are two ways to work with us. The Maintenance Membership is an ongoing weekly route with the same checklist every visit. The individual services are one-time jobs for when something has gone wrong or something has just been built.
What we deliberately do not sell is a one-off routine cleaning. A single clean on a pool nobody is looking after is a photograph, not a fix. If a pool is in that state, what it needs is a recovery first and a route afterwards.
What we mean by communication
The part that is hard to put on a website
- You should not have to stand at the gate to know we came — the visit leaves a record.
- Bad news early beats good news late: a scaling cell is visible weeks before it strands you.
- Repair before replace, and say which is which. Most pool equipment fails in one part.
- A quote is a number, not a range you find out later.
Every pool company in Los Angeles says it communicates well. The word is meaningless until you attach something to it, so that list is what we attach.
It also means watching the pad and not only the water: pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems, automation controls and pool lights.
How we got here
Four years on the same routes
A family business that grew by keeping the pools it started with.
2023
Started with one van and a handful of pools in Studio City. The routes were built around a promise nobody else would put in writing: the same checklist on every visit.
2024
Added repair work: pumps, heaters, filters and salt systems. Diagnosing before replacing turned one-off calls into weekly customers.
2025
Renovation followed — acid washes, resurfacing and tiling — so a pool that had gone too far did not need a second company.
2026
Thirty-five communities, four people, and the same routes running by day of the week.
Before you hand anyone a gate code
How to check us — or anyone else
Four checks worth doing on any pool company, ours included.
Ask what happens when something breaks
Not whether they repair — everyone repairs. Ask who diagnoses it and whether you see the part cost.
Ask what is included in the price
Chemicals and filter cleans are where most of the difference between two quotes hides.
Check the licence and the bond
Licence #970493, classes C-53 and C-61/D-35, and a $25,000 contractor's bond with Philadelphia Indemnity. All public — typing the number in takes thirty seconds.

Questions about working with us
Are you a family-owned business?
Yes. It is also why the referral program exists: most of the people we service arrived through someone they already knew, and we would rather reward that than buy the same customer through an advert.
Where are you based, and does that matter?
Studio City — 4121 Radford Ave, Ste. #214. It matters because we run routes, not a radius. The office tells you where the routes start; the service areas page tells you where they go.
Do you service commercial pools?
Our published services are written for residential pools and spas. If you have a commercial or HOA pool, tell us about it and we will give you a straight yes or no rather than a maybe.
Can I switch to you from another pool service?
Yes, and the quote form has a question for exactly that. If you are mid-contract elsewhere, check your notice period first. If the pool has drifted while you were deciding, the first job may be a recovery rather than a normal visit — we will tell you that before we start, not after.
What do you not do?
One-time routine cleanings, and pool construction. We maintain, recover, repair, resurface and remodel pools. If you are planning a build, the article on what to know first is written from the maintenance side of that decision, which is the side most people hear from last.
