Our Journey – From Local Experts to Valley Leaders

Where It All Started

SPEAR was founded in the 1990s with a simple vision: bring honest, expert pool service to San Fernando Valley homeowners. What started as a small, family-run operation has grown into the region’s most trusted pool maintenance and repair company. Through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to quality, we’ve earned the loyalty of hundreds of clients.

Today, SPEAR serves residential homeowners and commercial properties across LA County with the same passion and integrity that defined us from day one. We’ve invested in training, equipment, and technology to stay ahead of industry standards. But our core mission hasn’t changed: deliver reliable, transparent, professional pool service that exceeds expectations every single time.
