Values & History
PoolReady began as a family-owned, full-spectrum swimming pool and hot tub service company in the Hammond, Louisiana community. With over 30 years of experience, we've grown far beyond just being the "local pool shop," and now service pools throughout the south with the same southern pride and premium service you'd expect.
What sets us apart? Our commitment to quality and excellence sets us apart, as evidenced by our track record over the last several decades. We've serviced thousands of pools in the southern part of the country, with our home base in Louisiana. As one of our founding owners, Jared Pate is involved in all day-to-day operations and team management and only rests when your pool is sparkling blue.
Industry Performance
PoolReady is recession resistant. People who have pools have to maintain them and repair them when necessary in order to use them. We do not see big drop offs in business during economic downturns. And typically, those who have pools are in the upper to upper-middle income classes.
Because of the nature of our business, there are markets that have only limited business (indoor) 3-5 months each year. In these markets, however, it is necessary to both open and close pools. The business of opening and closing is very lucrative, and makes up for the lack of cash flow in the winter months. And, the franchisees in these markets get to spend the winter months in a more relaxed mode with their families. PoolReady validates very well with our franchisees who are located in these 4 season markets.
Training & Support
We have the best training program and support programs in the industry. Our trainer, who is a partner in the company, has owned and operated his own pool maintenance business for 15 years and has been in the industry for over 30 years. Our technical training and support team has over 80 years of collective pool building and maintenance experience. We provide classroom, hands on training at HQ, then another week of in field training in the franchisees market. Our franchisees have access to a team of 5 highly qualified and experienced pool maintenance professionals 7 days/week.
We market directly to pool owners and drive business to our franchisees so they can focus on managing their business, not managing their marketing. Our state-of-the-art technology platform handles everything from scheduling to invoice collection.
