6. How Did We Pick These Five?

Fair question, given we put ourselves at the top.

We looked at how long each company has operated in Northern Virginia, what their public ratings say, whether they focus on maintenance or construction, and how their reviews read. Companies that specialise in renovation are on this list because renovation is a real need. They're just not who you call for weekly service.

Nobody paid to be included, and we don't take referral fees from anyone here.

7. What Should I Ask Before Signing Anything?

Five questions that sort the serious companies from the rest.

• How many pools do you service weekly?

• Is anyone on your team CPO certified?

• What happens if my pool turns green?

• Are you licensed and insured locally?

• What exactly is included each visit?
