Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Houston homeowners ask us about pool care — answered honestly.
How much does pool maintenance cost in Houston?
Weekly pool maintenance pricing varies by pool size, equipment, and condition. The Pool Guardian provides free, no-obligation quotes after a quick site visit. Text (832) 540-8440 and we'll give you honest, transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
How often should a pool be cleaned?
Most Houston pools do best with weekly service: skimming, brushing, vacuuming, chemical balancing, and filter checks. Weekly care prevents algae blooms and keeps your water ready to swim in all year — especially in Houston's hot, humid climate.
My pool turned green. Can you fix it?
Yes. Our green-to-clean process clears algae, restores water balance, and has most pools sparkling and swimmable within 3–5 days. The sooner we start, the faster (and more affordable) the recovery.
What areas of Houston do you service?
The Pool Guardian serves Houston and surrounding communities including Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, The Woodlands, Pearland, Bellaire, and Pasadena. Not sure if we cover your neighborhood? Just ask us — if you can see Houston from your backyard, we probably already serve you.
What does an acid wash cost?
Acid wash pricing depends on pool size, surface type, and condition. We always inspect first and quote upfront with no hidden fees. Request a free estimate and we'll walk you through it.
Do you offer one-time cleanings?
Absolutely. One-time cleanings are perfect before a party, after a vacation, or when you move into a home with a neglected pool. Many one-time clients love the results so much they switch to weekly service.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. The Pool Guardian is fully licensed and insured, giving you complete peace of mind when our family works in your backyard.
Can you repair my pool pump or heater?
Yes. We diagnose and repair pumps, motors, heaters, filters, salt systems, leaks, and more — and we upgrade equipment to modern, energy-efficient models when it makes sense. See our repairs & upgrades page for details.
Do you handle pool remodels?
Yes — from new plaster and tile to water features, lighting, and full backyard transformations. We're hands-on from design to finish, and we stand behind our work long after the water is filled. See pool remodels.
