Why Regular Pool Maintenance Matters
Proper seasonal service isn’t just about opening or closing your pool—it’s about extending the life of your equipment and keeping your family safe. Many costly repairs can be avoided with regular checkups and proactive care during each transition. Skipping pool maintenance leads to cloudy water, clogged filters, broken seals, and worse—often requiring expensive intervention.
At HandymanDetroit.com, we emphasize long-term care. Our technicians assess everything from water chemistry to pump efficiency so your pool isn’t just usable, it’s optimal. Whether you need help preparing for guests, managing pets near your pool, or handling heavy debris in fall, we’ve got you covered.
Custom Seasonal Pool Plans Available
We also offer custom seasonal maintenance packages that go beyond the basics. Choose a plan that fits your schedule and pool type. Some of our clients prefer monthly visits in peak season, while others just need reliable open/close packages every spring and fall. Let us know what works best for you—we build our service around your home’s needs.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Last-minute pool openings often lead to scheduling delays and missed swim days. Likewise, winter closings done too late can lead to freeze damage and algae buildup. Our team is local and responsive—serving homes all over Metro Detroit quickly and professionally. We even provide reminders each year so you never miss your window.
If you’ve been managing your pool yourself and are tired of the guesswork, let us take over. With years of experience and the right tools, we’ll save you time, stress, and costly mistakes.
