Sell My Pool Service & Repair Business

Recurring-service pool operators are among the fastest-appreciating home-services categories, driven by Sun Belt route density and PE platform demand.

Whether you sell for the top of the range or the bottom is decided months before you go to market. Route-based pool service businesses in the Sun Belt (particularly Florida, Arizona, Texas, and California) see aggressive PE-platform buyer competition. Route density and recurring-service revenue percentage are the two primary value drivers.

Frequently asked

Pool Service & Repair sale FAQ

How is my pool service business valued?

Pool service businesses trade at SDE multiples of 2.75–4.0x for owner-operator books below $1M SDE. Above $1M EBITDA, expect 4.5–6.5x — the top end reserved for route-dense operators with 60%+ recurring-service revenue in Sun Belt markets.

How does seasonality affect a pool service business sale?
