How to pay less

Sign up for regular service. One-off cleanings cost more than the same work on a schedule.
Ask whether chemicals are included before comparing monthly prices.
Keep the pool covered when it's not in use to cut down on debris and chemical use.
Compare at least two or three quotes for the same scope. Pros on Job Hound never pay for leads, so no lead fee is built into their price.
