Buy a Puddle Pool Services Franchise

Puddle Pool Services is a mobile pool, spa, and water-feature maintenance franchise serving both residential and commercial customers across the United States. The business runs on a recurring-revenue subscription model, with franchisees providing year-round care including water testing, chemical balancing, equipment checks, and seasonal maintenance. Customers range from family households to HOA communities, apartments, short-term rentals, hotels, and gyms.

The model is home-based and route-driven, with each location typically starting with a single technician and a fully equipped service vehicle, so there is no storefront or storage to maintain. Franchisees run daily operations through a proprietary mobile CRM that handles scheduling, route mapping, client records, quoting, invoicing, and real-time technician tracking, while a central call centre feeds leads directly into the system.

Founded in 2018 by Mark Amery and franchising since 2022, Puddle Pools grew out of his earlier service-brand businesses in Canada before expanding into the US. The brand positions pool and spa care as an essential, year-round service, aiming to reduce the seasonality common to the category.

Why buy a Puddle Pool Services Franchise?

Puddle Pool Services sits in a resilient home-services category where pool and spa upkeep is largely non-discretionary for owners. The subscription billing model is built to generate predictable recurring revenue rather than one-off project work, and the home-based, single-vehicle setup keeps fixed overhead low for stronger unit economics.

For buyers weighing whether to buy a Puddle Pool Services franchise, the appeal is an established operating system: a proprietary mobile CRM, a 24/7/365 multilingual call centre that captures leads, and in-house marketing covering SEO, paid ads, and social media. New owners join with defined routes and protected territory rather than building from scratch, and the semi-absentee structure suits those who want to keep other commitments while a technician runs daily service.

Puddle Pool Services – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Puddle's six-phase training program ("University of Puddle") runs across six weeks, combining 14 virtual modules with an in-person week of in-field and classroom instruction, totalling 40 hours classroom and 40 hours on-the-job. Ongoing support includes weekly GSR coaching calls, monthly franchisee roundtables, in-field "Live Link" guidance from lead corporate technicians, a technician video library, in-house marketing and social support, and a 24/7/365 multilingual call centre that feeds leads into the proprietary CRM. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and CRM access the franchisor provides to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on local operators who are comfortable with technology and customer service rather than industry veterans, as no prior pool experience is required. Day-to-day success leans on route discipline, scheduling, and building recurring customer relationships, plus recruiting and managing technicians as the territory scales. It also fits owners drawn to a mobile, home-based business, and the semi-absentee structure can work for those keeping other commitments while a technician handles field service.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Puddle markets itself as one of North America's fastest-growing pool-service franchises and works with franchise-development group Franchise FastLane to support its US expansion. Founder Mark Amery has been featured on CBC's Dragons' Den and in BC Business coverage, adding visibility to the brand's systems-led approach, and the network emphasises strong five-star customer reviews. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, online reviews, and referral strength.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US is home to more than 10 million residential swimming pools, supporting steady demand for professional cleaning and maintenance. The US pool services market is worth several billion dollars and has grown consistently, helped by aging pool stock, dual-income households outsourcing upkeep, and water-quality and safety requirements. Because routine pool and spa care is largely non-discretionary, the category tends to hold up across economic cycles, though demand is more seasonal in northern markets than in the Sun Belt regions where Puddle has concentrated.
