We Work for You

How We Do It

Mike the Poolman has been providing professional pool service and repair since 1995. Our approach is simple: reliable service, consistent technicians, clear communication and honest recommendations.


The Same Technician Every Week

Whenever possible, you receive the same pool technician on the same service day each week. That consistency allows your technician to become familiar with your pool, equipment and property instead of treating every visit like a first-time service call.

It also makes it easier to notice changes in water chemistry, equipment performance or other conditions before they become larger problems.


Background-Checked Employees

Our employees are background checked before they begin servicing customers’ homes. We understand that our technicians are entering backyards and working around your home, so trust and professionalism matter.


Service Reports and Communication

We use electronic service records to document our visits and keep customers informed.

Service reports provide useful information about your pool and help create a history of its water chemistry and maintenance.

If we notice an equipment problem or something that needs attention, we communicate it rather than simply leaving and hoping the problem goes away.


We Pay Attention to Water Balance

Proper pool care involves more than simply adding chlorine. We pay attention to overall water balance, including factors that affect swimmer comfort, pool surfaces and equipment.

When appropriate, we consider the Langelier Saturation Index as part of maintaining balanced pool water and protecting plaster, tile, heaters and other pool components.


We Also Repair Pool Equipment

Because Mike the Poolman provides both weekly pool service and equipment repair, our technicians are trained to recognize signs of equipment problems during regular service.

We repair and replace pool pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, salt systems, valves and other pool equipment. When a repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. When replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll explain why.


We Don’t Overload Our Routes

We deliberately limit the number of pools assigned to our service routes. Our goal is not to squeeze as many stops as possible into a technician’s day.

Keeping routes manageable gives our technicians the time they need to properly service each pool, communicate problems and provide consistent care to our existing customers.


Honest Recommendations

We don’t believe in selling customers equipment or services they don’t need. Our goal is to build long-term relationships by giving straightforward recommendations and taking care of the pool properly.

Sometimes that means recommending a repair. Sometimes it means telling you that your existing equipment is still doing its job and doesn’t need to be replaced.


Local Pool Service Since 1995

We’ve been taking care of pools in the Folsom and El Dorado Hills area since 1995. That experience has taught us that different communities can have very different water conditions, pool designs and maintenance challenges.

We use that local experience to provide service based on the actual pool and water conditions rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • I can't say enough good about Mike the Poolman.  When he came to my house to evaluate my pool issue, he first did a thorough review of my pool physically, looked at my pool controller settings, made several recommendations to me about how to take care of my pool better, and adjusted my pool controller settings right there on the spot for me!  Most importantly, he fixed my issue quickly and took great care in his work.  Mike's very friendly and reasonable in his rates.  Highly recommend!

  • I've had pools serviced in various places I've resided; Davis, Encinitas and Folsom; Mike The PoolMan (Mike Stinson) has been the best service provider that I've experienced. Mike's made complete repairs that most Pool Servicers won't touch. Mike is the complete service provider for regular maintenance, equipment repair/replacement and starting your pool back up after you've had it resurfaced! Mike's been outstanding and Victor has performed in an excellent manner with my weekly as part of Mike's crew! Thanks Mike!

  • I was made aware of Mike's pool company by seeing one of his service trucks in my neighborhood and thought to give them a call. I recently moved into a new home with a pool that had been neglected over the past few years, and needed advice on how to bring it back to life.

    Mike immediately got back to me and let me know he would personally stop by my property to give it a look. He let me know what was needed for repairs, and what wasn't necessary in the short term. He never tried to up-sell me, just gave me an honest answer and good advice.

    I ended up having Mike install a new filter and variable speed pump. The equipment purchase was made through him, and along with labor, the price was incredibly fair. After the install, Mike gave me a full rundown on the new equipment, and provided several suggestions and advice on maintaining the pool.

    All in all I was very pleased with his professionalism and service. Will be calling him again if needed.

  • I cannot say enough good things about Mike! We had him install a new pump and controller and he was upfront and honest every step of the way. He gave us lots of good options for our needs and the quality of work was top notch. Most importantly, I felt that Mike was one of the rare ones out there that truly knows his stuff. His expertise and friendly demeanor made us feel very comfortable with the whole project. We will definitely be calling Mike whenever we have our next pool project!

  • Julie EllingsonMeticulous Workmanship

    I am very happy with my experience with Mike the Poolman. He was responsive to my emails and went into depth to help me choose the rail ultimately installed in my pool.

    While there was a wait for the custom rail to be made and shipped to him, it was not an undue amount of time at all. Once he had the rail in stock, it was installed within a week. It was a quick, neat job from there and my father now has a good, stable means of support when exiting the pool. I highly recommend that you contact Mike the Poolman. He has good people working for him and is meticulous about making certain the job is done right.

  • We needed a hand rail installed in our older pool.  Mike was consistently very responsive.  He offered a fair price and was always punctual.  He was especially helpful when we ran into a challenge installing the hand rail due to the age of the brick surrounding our pool.  His quick thinking enabled us to get the much-needed hand rail installed.  I can't recommend him highly enough!
