Pool Care Specialists

Pool Care Specialists handles pool service work out of Flower Mound, Texas. Doug runs the operation and takes on repairs, equipment swaps, and regular upkeep for residential pools and spas. The crew handles heaters, pumps, filters, controllers, lights, and leak fixes, along with algae treatment and new installs like waterfalls or automation setups. Shane handles weekly visits for some customers while Blake and Nathan pitch in on bigger jobs.

Customers call them for pump leaks that show up suddenly, filters ready to fail, algae blooms that turn water green, and heaters that need replacement or replumbing. Doug has diagnosed leaks with photos for quick quotes, fixed broken pressure gauges after hours, and cleaned out black and green algae with daily checks until the water cleared. He has also swapped entire equipment pads with new pumps and filters, upgraded old controllers for Wi-Fi control, and replaced pool lights that had sat unused for years. Outcomes include pools back in service the next day or within a couple days, with lower repair costs than expected on some leak jobs.

They respond fast, often the same day or next morning even on late calls, and show up on time for the work. Quotes come in clear and beat other estimates in the area, with fair pricing noted across multiple jobs. Doug and the team work in Flower Mound and nearby spots, answering questions during visits and explaining fixes without pushing extra work. They keep hours flexible enough to handle emergencies like freezing temps or heat wave leaks.

“Doug and his team are awesome! They installed a new spa heater for us. Did an amazing job with the new plumbing and walked me through all the functions on the new heater. They even gave me tips to help keep my salt cell last longer. Would highly recommend their services for all your pool needs!”

“Pool Care Specialists have been our pool repair team for 15 years. I called Doug late on Thursday with a pump leak issue, and he had it repaired by Friday AM. Two years ago, they also modernized our controller with Wi-Fi access. They also got us through the Snowpocalypse.”

“We had a pool filter that was on its last legs. We called Doug and he responded promptly, visited the same day, and gave us his recommendations. Doug came out quickly to install our new filter, which was leaking, and we are now set. I would highly recommend this company for your pool care needs. We will definitely use them again in the future.”

“Doug was very responsive for fixing a leak in my pool pump. He gave a quote using photos, came on time and fixed it. He gave some good advice on pool repair for spring. Photo is before repair.”

“Could not be happier with the work done by Pool Care Specialists!! They were extremely responsive, answered all our questions (we had a lot!), and worked quickly and efficiently. They replaced all our equipment (pump, filter, and booster pump) and it looks and runs great. I would definitely recommend them!”

“My pool and spa had black and green algae that I was not able to manage any longer. I contacted Pool Care Specialist and they immediately addressed the problem and arrived almost everyday to monitor the problem until it was totally resolved. I'm thankful to have them now weekly maintaining my pool and spa. A Great Team of Professionals!”

“Doug is always great. Has helped with numerous repairs over the past couple years. New heater installed being the most recent.”

“I feel very fortunate to have found Pool Care Specialists and I highly recommend them! Shane is my weekly technician. He does an excellent job and explains everything to me, which I appreciate. I also had some needed repairs done by Doug and I have received the best service and care. I rate them 5+++!”

“I needed a quick assessment and fix, and Doug was ready and able to meet the challenge at a great price. Every other pool service company in this area has been deleted from my contacts. Pool Care Specialists are superior to all! Thank you!!”

“Epic service in a pinch! I accidentally broke off my filter’s pressure gauge after hours with temps below freezing, and Doug was able to get me a spare in less than 20 minutes for a fair price! He also gave me solid advice on how to easily remove the old threaded insert without damaging the filter cartridge housing. I was able to get my pool back up and running quickly with no leaks. Thank you, Doug!”

“Doug and his team are fantastic to work with. Last summer my pool sprung a leak during the big heat wave. Doug was able to diagnose the issue quickly. We decided to wait until winter to get it fixed. This repair could have been more than $3K, but their approach to finding and fixing the issue enabled them to get in and make the repair for ~$500. I was blown away. That's integrity! I highly recommend them!”

“Outstanding Service and Expertise! I’ve been using Pool Care Specialists for weekly maintenance on my pool and spa, and I couldn’t be happier with their service! Recently, they installed a cutting-edge poolside tech system that automates all my pool themes and routines, making everything super convenient. They also upgraded my setup with a PAL LED lighting system that syncs perfectly with my automation system and even connects to my Spotify music. The result has been incredible, and I’ve received numerous compliments on the system, even from a competitor! The team is always professional and thorough—especially Doug and Nathan, who I typically work with. Their expertise and attention to detail have made maintaining my pool a breeze. I highly recommend Pool Care Specialists for anyone looking for reliable maintenance and top-notch installations.”

“Doug did a great job disassembling and replumbing our old pool heater. His response to my initial inquiries were timely and his quote for the job was the best of 3 estimates I received. He was also prompt in arriving at our home when he said he would and very knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done. My husband and I were very pleased with his service and would definitely use Pool Care Specialists again.”

“We called Doug in a panic when our pool was filled with algae and was green. Doug came out same day for a quote and Blake started working on the pool the same day! Blake worked on the pool for two day and it looks brand new again! They truly went above and beyond and I am so thankful for them! They were thorough, professional and very knowledgeable! Also, very fair pricing. Thank you Doug and Blake!”

“Doug does an amazing job and has a tremendous passion for personal service. He is committed to making sure everything is just right. He is honest with his evaluations and will not recommend a repair or service that is not necessary. He is very reasonable and timely. I highly recommend Pool Care Services and specifically Doug for any of your pool service needs.”

“Outstanding service, care, and attention. I started by emailing them and their response was very timely. We received an in-person inspection that was followed-up with a quote which was very transparent & only included what we absolutely needed at that time. We had moved into a home where the pool was pretty much abandoned and we are first time pool owners, so our tech, Doug, was getting into a lot with us! Doug is continuing to work with us, make necessary repairs, and teaches us along the way. He understands everything and explains it well. We know we will enjoy this pool forever. A little maintenance, upkeep, & TLC will go a long way.”

“Excellent and comprehensive service from start to finish. Knowledgeable, compassionate, and experienced service professional who did a great job. I had my old pump, plumbing, electrical & pool light replaced. The pricing is fair and transparent. I’m very thankful for the quick and awesome service! Doug really cares about his customers and performs excellent work. He explains the process and answers all of your questions. Very happy with Doug and his great work!”

“Our pump was leaking and Doug took great care of us. We called another pool company in Flower Mound (Clear Choice) and the prices they quoted us were ridiculously high, not fair or even reasonable. Thanks Doug for your great work!”

“Pool Care Specialists did a phenomenal job!! Provided exceptional service and were very professional. Even answered all my nagging questions given that I had never dealt with pool lights. It was a tough job replacing the pool lights, which never worked since we moved in and probably hadn't been replaced for over 10yrs. It was missed during inspection when purchasing house, lesson learnt. I am located in Flower Mound and cannot recommend them highly enough. Do yourself a favor and reach out for a quote if you are in the market for any pool needs. I look forward to enjoying the pool at night, thank you!!”

“I called Doug to get an estimate on installation of a pool waterfall pump. Doug came out that day. He gave me a reasonable estimate, arrived when he said he would arrive and his work was great. I will definitely use Doug again for my pool maintenance. I highly recommend.”
