What National Pool Partners does

National Pool Partners (NPP) is a Tampa, Florida-based rollup platform that acquires and integrates regional residential pool service operators across the Sun Belt, currently operating a network of 20+ local brands in Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Founded in January 2021 by Hal Denbar (Patriot Pool & Spa) and Eddie Skehan (T&D Pool & Spa) with CEO Augusto Titarelli, the company serves approximately 18,500-19,000+ residential pool accounts weekly, including 11,000+ in Florida, 5,500+ in Arizona, and 2,000+ in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Each acquired brand retains its local identity and leadership while NPP layers on centralized technology, procurement, HR, marketing, and safety infrastructure.

The core offering is recurring weekly pool maintenance (water testing, chemical treatment, debris removal, equipment checks), supplemented by repair, remodeling, and construction services that introduce project-based, higher-margin revenue. The underlying technology stack consists of proprietary software that automates routing, scheduling, and customer management, migrated to scalable cloud platforms under the leadership of Sr. VP of IT Ryan Abud. NPP also publishes free industry tools, such as the Pool Industry Inflation Calculator, and produces content via the Pool Chasers podcast, using these channels as both M&A pipeline generation and customer marketing assets.

NPP's business model is a subscription-recurring service model at the customer level combined with an aggressive M&A rollup at the corporate level. The company launched with over $200 million in committed capital, targets acquisitions of pool service businesses with $1M+ EBITDA, and has a stated ambition of reaching 100,000 pools across the Sun Belt. On January 26, 2026, NPP was acquired by CERTUS Pest, transitioning the platform to new ownership while continuing to operate its network of local brands.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Associa: Associa is the largest U.S. community association management company. It is NPP's channel partner for community/HOA pool care under the Associa Advantage partnership, and it represents the buyer/customer side of the B2B community pool services opportunity.
• Certus Pest: CERTUS Pest is the parent company that acquired NPP on January 26, 2026, and operates a national pest control platform with overlapping home services customers. It is the corporate parent providing capital, shared services, and cross-sell opportunities for the NPP platform.
• POOLCORP (Pool Corporation): POOLCORP is the largest wholesale distributor of pool products in the world. It is an infrastructure/ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, but its scale and pricing dynamics directly shape the input costs and equipment availability for NPP's local brands.

Broad incumbents

• Authority Brands: Authority Brands is a home services franchise platform spanning multiple trade categories. It represents the broader home services consolidation playbook that NPP's PE backers and CERTUS Pest apply, making it a relevant incumbent comparable for platform strategy.
• Leslie's Pool Solutions: Leslie's is the largest U.S. specialty retailer of pool supplies and offers adjacent service offerings. While primarily a products retailer, it competes for the same residential pool owner customer wallet and benefits from similar Sun Belt demographics and recurring consumption patterns.
• Neighborly (formerly Dwyer Group): Neighborly is a holding company for home services franchises across categories including plumbing, HVAC, and cleaning. Its franchise-based consolidation approach to fragmented home services is structurally analogous to NPP's roll-up of regional pool service operators.
• Terminix (Rentokil): Terminix is a national home services leader where NPP CEO Augusto Titarelli spent two decades. It is a broader incumbent offering recurring pest and home services through a similar branch-based, M&A-driven growth model that informs NPP's operational playbook.

Direct peers

• Premier Pools & Spas: Premier Pools & Spas is one of the largest U.S. pool construction and service companies, with regional locations across Sun Belt and other states. It offers the same combination of new pool construction, remodel, and ongoing residential service that NPP's local brands provide.
• American Pool: American Pool is one of the largest commercial and residential pool management companies in the U.S., operating across multiple states with a similar regional roll-up model. It is the most direct comparable to NPP in scale, customer profile, and recurring service revenue model.
• Poolwerx: Poolwerx is a global pool service franchise network offering residential maintenance, repair, and equipment services. Its franchise-led roll-up structure and recurring weekly service contracts mirror NPP's subscription-driven residential pool service model.
