About this Business
Profitable seasonal pool service with a perfect 5-star rating, serving an affluent Hartford market of 14,000 pools—most still untapped.
The business launched in 2022, became profitable in 2024, and brought in $289,147 in revenue with $37,866 in cash flow last season. Customers love the honest service and 5-star experience—this team doesn’t just clean pools, they help owners understand them. It’s all about making pool ownership easier and less stressful.
The current owner is retiring and has been full-time in the business, recently focusing more on sales, networking, and building relationships than on daily service. A hands-on new owner who’s ready to be involved and visible in the community will be best positioned to grow. The business is run from home, with two full-time and two part-time team members during the busy season. There’s a solid team in place and systems ready to go.
Marketing has been light—mostly digital and some door hangers—but the franchisor encourages more local outreach. There’s big potential in connecting with realtors, local businesses, and getting involved in community events. With the right hustle, a new owner can grow fast.
The sale includes three full sets of pool service equipment (vacuums, pumps, tools), three leased vehicles (transferable), and about $6,000 in plumbing parts and chemicals. It’s a turnkey setup with a growing customer base, strong brand backing, and a wide-open market. Inquire now for more details. Expect NDA by email.
Growth opportunities
This Hartford-area franchise sits in a strong market with around 14,000 pools, but only a small share are being serviced today. The business has earned a perfect 5-star rating and a solid reputation, but growth has been limited by light marketing. A new owner who’s active in the community can make a big impact by connecting with local realtors, businesses, and neighborhoods. There’s plenty of room to add techs, grow the customer base, and increase seasonal profits.
