What a pool service price list is for
Pool owners shop by monthly price and by what an opening or a green pool cleanup costs. A price list with weekly plans and the common one-time jobs answers both, and makes your weekly price easier to compare with the company that leaves chemicals out.
What to put on a pool service price list
- Weekly plans and what each includes.
- Openings and closings.
- Green pool and filter cleans.
- Common repairs and diagnostics.
- Which neighborhoods you serve and when the prices take effect.
