Pool Service
America is a South Florida based company intent on leading the
professionalization of the swimming pool service and repair business.
The company, one of the largest of its kind in the area, and a prescreened member of the selective ServiceMagic professional network, offers weekly or more often maintenance services
(professional water chemistry testing, water chemistry maintenance,
and cleaning), repair services, and equipment installations for both
residential and commercial customers in Miami-Dade and Broward
Counties.
The Pool Service America Difference:
A Culture of Service, Honesty, and Decency - In the end, everything a
company does is driven by its culture. At Pool Service America, we
maintain, and continually endeavor to improve upon, a culture
encompassing a passionate commitment to excellent service, absolute
honesty, and decency.
No Voicemail Policy - We do not use voicemail, nor any pesky phone
menu system. When you call, you speak to a person. Calls only go to
voicemail outside of normal business hours (Monday to Friday 8 to 5)
or on the rare occasion that all of our incoming lines are in use.
Professionally Supplied Collared Uniforms - As part of an overall
effort to maintain a professional image, we contracted with Aramark to design professional,
high quality, collared uniforms. This is in sharp contrast
to our would be competitors which frequently show up in flip flops
and a t-shirt. When one of our associates is on your property, you can
rest assured that he will be in a professional looking uniform.
Highly Experienced In-House Repair Crews - We have some of the best
pool mechanics in the industry, frequently with 10 or more years of
pool repair experience. Additionally, we utilize in-house notification
alert systems to proactively reach out to you when a repair needs to
be made in an effort to catch issues early before they become more
inconvenient, if not more costly.
Licensed - Pool Service America is fully licensed with the State of
Florida (CPC1457683). Many would be competitors operate without a license. Working
with a licensed company, like Pool Service America, offers consumers
certain protections. In fact, a principal purpose of state licensing
requirements is to protect consumers.
All Chemicals Are Included - We test for all five chemicals, adding
chemicals as necessary without charging any additional amounts for
added chemicals. In the United States, according to PK Data, the
average person taking care of his own pool spends $282 on chemicals
alone. Presumably this amount is much higher in Florida. Read more
about why this makes us different on our
Services page.
Criminal Background Checks - According to the Bureau of Justice, if
recent incarceration rates remain unchanged, an estimated 1 of every
15 people will serve time in a prison during their lifetime. Although we cannot quote specific statistics, we believe
that this ratio is signficantly higher within the pool service industry. At Pool Service America, we
perform criminal background checks to minimize risk to your family and property.
Quality Control - We utilize proprietary quality control systems, including issue resolution tracking and response systems and regular
random field inspections with compensation and employment stability consequences to the respective associate.
Service Consistency - With our in-house policy called "A Tuesday Pool Is A Tuesday Pool", we reject the generally mediocre industry standard of inconsistent service days. Our policy is that a Service Technican must service a pool on its scheduled day, unless management approval is obtained. Failure to comply with this policy has immediate compensation and employment stability consequences to the assigned Service Technician.
Extensive Ongoing Training - We hold regular training sessions, at least monthly. Additionally, we encourage associates to obtain their CPOŽ (Certified Pool Operator) designation as soon as possible after beginning employment with us. Assisting with this objective, we are among an elite group of pool service and repair companies nationally that have an in-house CPOŽ Instructor. Many of our associates have this CPOŽ designation, which makes us a true rarity in the industry (most pool service companies have zero or one CPOŽ designated employee) and is emblematic of our strong commitment to excellence. Why trust the health of your family and friends, not to mention valuable surfaces and equipment, to amateurs, when you can instead hire pros?
GPS Tracked Vehicles - We utilize sophisticated GPS (global
positioning system) tracking, which tells us where our vehicles are at
and where they have been by triangulating satellite signals. This
helps us assure that your pool is serviced appropriately, and to
control speeding and other safety issues, helping us be good corporate
citizens.
Competitive Associate Pay and Benefits - Pool Service America is an
industry leader in providing competitive associate pay and benefits.
It is our objective to provide a respectable living, with a solid
"first world" benefits package, for long-term career oriented
individuals. How does this benefit you? It does so by allowing us to
attract honest, hardworking individuals with good attitudes to care
for your pools.
Nextel Radio Dispatched - Our associates are equipped with Sprint
Nextel Instant Connect technology cellular telephones, frequently
referred to as radio phones or walkie talkie phones, which enable us
to instantly communicate with them in the field to answer questions
you may have regarding your service.
Generously Staffed - We endeavor to maintain staffing levels in excess of that
necessary to service our customers, including the ability to smoothly manage circumstances
that arise. People get sick, take vacations, etc. Unlike our generally understaffed competitors, our
staffing levels are designed to be sufficient to maintain
service, such that you never notice a difference.
Buying Power - Pool Service America is a significant buyer of
equipment and supplies within the swimming pool industry. As such, we
are able to negotiate highly competitive wholesale prices, which in
turn allows us to offer more competitive prices to our customers.
General Liability And Worker's Compensation Insurance - Many would be
competitors carry no liability insurance and/or worker's compensation
insurance. If someone is injured, you may find yourself to be the only
deep pocket available to sue. As a legitimate company, with normal
corporate practices, Pool Service America carries substantial general
liability and worker's compensation insurance.
Community Involvement - Pool Service America budgets and expends a
portion of its revenues to fund community initiatives with a particular interest
in swimming safety for children. Drowning is the
second-leading cause of injury related death among children from age 1 to
14. We intend to make a difference. |
