Pool Maintenance

Year-Round Care for Your Coastal Investment

The Outer Banks presents distinct challenges for pool owners—salt air, shifting sands, seasonal occupancy, and the occasional hurricane all require specialized knowledge and proactive maintenance. Our comprehensive service packages are designed to protect your aquatic investment through every season, ensuring crystal-clear water and optimal functionality whenever you're ready to dive in.

Seasonal Transitions Made Simple

Pool Openings: As winter gives way to the promise of warmer days, our thorough opening service prepares your pool for the season ahead. We remove and store protective covers, reassemble equipment, balance water chemistry, and perform comprehensive system checks to ensure everything runs perfectly from day one.

Winterization: When the vacation season winds down, our meticulous winterization process protects your pool during the off-season. We carefully balance chemicals, lower water levels, drain equipment, install freeze plugs, and secure high-quality winter covers—preventing costly freeze damage and minimizing spring cleaning requirements.

Cover Services: Our team handles every aspect of pool cover management, including installation, removal, cleaning, and proper storage. We work with all cover types, from standard tarps to safety covers and automatic systems, ensuring proper fit and maximum protection.

Storm Preparedness & Recovery

Living in hurricane territory requires special consideration for pool owners. Our hurricane preparation services secure your pool environment before storms arrive, while our post-storm cleanup teams quickly address debris, water quality issues, and equipment assessment. We'll have your pool back to pristine condition rapidly, minimizing downtime and preventing long-term damage.
