Pool service in Friendswood

TDLR says a Residential Appliance Installer License holder may install or replace pool pumps, motors, heaters, underwater lights, GFCIs and automation on the load side of the control center. If the equipment needs a new or upgraded circuit, only a licensed electrical contractor with a master electrician may offer that work. Ask a pool company which license covers the job before it opens the panel.

HomeGuide's September 2025 national figures put a pump motor repair at $50 to $300 and a replacement at $150 to $800. A pool fence or enclosure on a single-family lot isn't covered by the state's apartment and HOA pool-yard law, so ask the city permit office what applies to your yard.

HomeGuide's September 2025 national figures put weekly or biweekly cleaning at $80 to $150 a month, and a first-time cleaning at $150 to $350. Pool maintenance is taxable in Texas, at a home or a business, even when a self-employed cleaner does it, so expect sales tax on the bill.

Before refilling a drained pool, ask Friendswood Public Works whether any watering limits are in effect. The full guide is on our Texas pool service page, and the Friendswood local guide covers permits and utilities.
