Best pool tech in Dallas
Our pool pump was a total mess and Joey diagnosed it fast. He's CPO certified and really knows his stuff. The pool looks better than it ever has. Highly recommend for anyone needing pool maintenance or repairs.
Honest, reliable, great work
I needed a bunch of small repairs done around the house — drywall, a leaky faucet, and some electrical outlets. Joey knocked it all out in one visit and charged a completely reasonable price. Genuinely a great guy.
27 years of experience shows
You can just tell Joey has been doing this a long time. He spotted issues I didn't even know about and walked me through everything. The pool equipment repair he did before summer saved us a lot of headaches. 5 stars.
Came through on short notice
Had a plumbing emergency on a Friday evening and Joey actually answered the phone. He came out, fixed the leak, and was gone in 45 minutes. That kind of service is rare. Became our go-to handyman immediately.
EPA certified — and it matters
Knowing Joey is EPA certified gave me real peace of mind when he worked on our pool equipment. He handled everything properly and explained every step. That level of professionalism is hard to find.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about my services, pricing, and how I work. Can't find your answer? Just give me a call.
For most residential pools in the Dallas area, I recommend weekly service during peak season (May-September) and bi-weekly service during cooler months. This includes chemical balancing, skimming, vacuuming, and equipment checks. Proper maintenance prevents algae growth, protects your investment, and ensures safe swimming conditions year-round.
Cloudy water usually indicates improper chemical balance, inadequate filtration, or early-stage algae. Green water typically means algae has taken hold, often due to low chlorine levels, poor circulation, or imbalanced pH. As a CPO certified technician, I can quickly diagnose the issue, shock the pool if needed, and get your water crystal clear again.
I believe in transparent, fair pricing with no hidden fees. Most jobs are quoted upfront after a quick assessment. Simple repairs like faucet fixes or fixture swaps have standard rates. Larger projects like pool equipment replacement are quoted based on materials, labor, and complexity. I always explain costs before starting any work.
Yes! I provide free estimates for most projects. For straightforward repairs, I can often give you a quote over the phone. For larger jobs or complex issues, I'll visit your property to assess the situation and provide a detailed written estimate. There's never any pressure to commit — my goal is to give you honest information to make the best decision.
I primarily serve Dallas and surrounding communities including Plano, Garland, Mesquite, Richardson, Irving, Carrollton, and Addison. For larger projects or ongoing maintenance contracts, I'm happy to discuss service in other nearby areas. Just give me a call and we can work something out.
Absolutely. I'm fully licensed to operate in Texas and carry comprehensive liability insurance for your protection. I also hold EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling and CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification for pool services. My 27+ years in the business means I've seen it all and know how to handle any situation safely and professionally.
Yes, I understand that some repairs can't wait. For urgent issues like major plumbing leaks or pool equipment emergencies, I do my best to accommodate same-day or next-day service. Call me directly at (214) 293-8857 for emergencies — I answer my phone and prioritize getting your home back to normal quickly.
I accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover). For larger projects, I may require a deposit upfront with the balance due upon completion. Payment terms are always discussed and agreed upon before work begins so there are no surprises.
