Building a Thriving Pool Service Business: Insights from Matthew D’Aguanno

This episode turns to the part of the pool industry that gets overlooked: service. Matthew D’Aguanno brings nearly four decades of experience to how pool maintenance has changed and what expanding a service division actually takes.

Starting at 17 and hustling to pay bills, Matthew has grown CPC Pools from five openings to servicing more than 22,000 pools. He covers the importance of having a solid plan, the value of follow-up, and how his own invention, the VAC Daddy, changed the work.

For anyone considering a pivot into service or looking to grow one, Matthew explains why it can be a reliable revenue stream, particularly when the wider economy is unsteady. The episode also takes listener questions on common mistakes and maintaining consistent water quality.
