About Larrys experience in pools and hot tubs through installation, maintenance, and repair services

Five Decades of Real-World Pool & Spa Experience

For over 35 years, I built Pool & Spa into trusted name for swimming pools and hot tubs. From custom in-ground installations to above-ground setups, from routine maintenance to emergency repairs, I’ve seen it all and solved it all.

What started as a family business in 1988 has given me hands-on experience with thousands of pools and spas. I’ve worked with every major brand, dealt with unique seasonal challenges, and helped families navigate everything from chemical balancing mysteries to equipment failures.

Now, instead of servicing individual pools, I’m passionate about sharing this wealth of knowledge with pool and hot tub owners everywhere. My goal is simple: give you the insider expertise that only comes from decades in the field, so you can enjoy your investment with confidence.

No sales pitches. No hidden agendas. Just honest, practical advice from someone who’s been there.
