Pool service in Plano

HomeGuide's national guide, dated September 22, 2025, prices regular service at $80 to $150 a month, roughly $960 to $1,800 a year. A first cleaning of a neglected pool costs $150 to $350. Repairing a pump motor runs $50 to $300 and replacing one $150 to $800. The Texas Comptroller treats pool maintenance as a taxable service at homes and businesses, and the household-services exemption does not cover a self-employed cleaner, so a quote without tax is incomplete.

What to ask a Plano pool service

• Is the visit weekly or every two weeks, and are chemicals included in the monthly price?
• Is sales tax shown on the invoice?
• Who handles a failed pump or heater, and under which TDLR license?
• What does it cost to open or close the pool? HomeGuide's national range is about $300 to $550.

TDLR splits pool electrical work three ways:

1. A Residential Appliance Installer License (RAIL) holder may install or replace pumps, motors, heaters, underwater lights, GFCIs and automation on the load side of the control center.
2. A new or upgraded line circuit can only be offered by a licensed electrical contractor with a designated master electrician.
3. A dealer or manufacturer, or someone they authorize, may repair pool electrical devices using same-type, same-ampacity parts.

So ask your Plano pool tech which license covers a motor swap, and bring in Plano electricians if the job needs a new circuit. Pool companies building or remodeling also fall under Plano's general contractor registration, listed at $100 a year in the city's January 2020 handout; confirm the current fee with Building Inspections.

Texas DFPS counted 88 child drownings in Texas in 2025, in places including backyard, apartment and community pools, and says a child should never be left unsupervised near water. Texas's pool yard enclosure law covers apartment complexes and property owners associations, not single-family backyards. For those pools, the fence must be at least 48 inches high, gaps underneath must stop a 4-inch sphere, and new enclosures built after January 1, 1994 cannot be chain link. Under the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Act, public pools and spas have needed anti-entrapment drain covers since December 19, 2008, and a single blockable drain needs a secondary device. Class A, B and C public pools and spas in Texas must also run under a trained, certified operator.
