With over a decade of experience in the pool industry, I’ve built my reputation around delivering dependable, high-quality pool care with a strong attention to detail and customer service. I specialize in servicing luxury residential properties and understand the importance of maintaining a pool that not only performs properly, but also looks pristine year-round.
My experience includes pool maintenance, water chemistry management, equipment diagnostics, repairs, filter cleanings, green-to-clean recoveries, and proactive equipment monitoring. I stay current with the latest industry technologies and best practices to ensure every client receives reliable, professional service.
I take a personalized, white-glove approach to every property I service, with a focus on consistency, communication, and long-term customer relationships. Homeowners trust me to protect their investment, maintain water quality, and keep their pools operating at their best with minimal hassle.
In addition to my years of hands-on field experience, I currently manage an active pool maintenance operation in Texas and California, allowing me to stay deeply involved in day-to-day service operations and evolving industry standards. My goal is simple: provide honest, dependable service and create an experience where clients feel confident their pool is being cared for properly every visit.

So happy I checked Thumbtack and found MLJ Pool Service. Manny and Fred have been amazing to work with. We just recently moved here, and inherited the previous owners pool service, which nickel and dime’d us and never got our pool/spa working properly. Fred came in day one, corrected the settings and my spa was immediately heating. He was extremely knowledgeable. I’m just thankful I checked this app and read their other ratings. Call them if you need your pool serviced.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process will probably be like many others with our world changing as we speak with COVID, we have to take precautions for our safety. I normally speak over the phone and set up an appointment with them to meet in person so we can go over what type of work is needed done for them.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've worked in pool stores and warehouses selling pool products, from there I gained a lot of knowledge from pool chemistry to pool equipment. I was given an opportunity to give a close friend a helping hand to clean pools then after he no longer needed me that's when I decided to start my own business in 2020, I have not looked back and loving it.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with all sorts of clients and I am looking forward to working with many more.
