What Best Pool Sysytems LLC does

Best Pool Systems LLC (DBA "Best Pool," also "Best Pool Service") is a family-owned pool services and outdoor living design-build company founded in 1981 and headquartered in Orange, California. The company serves residential homeowners and commercial properties across Southern California, including Orange County, Los Angeles County (south), San Diego County, and the Inland Empire. Its work is delivered by a field force of 11-50 employees using GPS-tracked service vehicles and CPO-certified technicians operating under California State Licensing Board contractor licenses (C-61/D-25, C-53, C-27, B General Contractor).

The business is organized around three core service lines: recurring pool service (residential and commercial), custom pool design and installation, and integrated outdoor living design-build. The service line is subscription-based for both residential cleaning/maintenance and commercial contracts covering HOAs, apartment complexes, hotels, and fitness centers, including water chemistry, leak detection, equipment repair, and compliance reporting. The installation line is project-based, with custom pools designed using an in-house 3D Design Center that allows clients to visualize projects pre-construction. The design-build line encompasses landscaping, hardscaping, fireplaces and fire pits, outdoor kitchens (priced from $2,000 to $50,000+), patio covers and pergolas, retaining walls, and outdoor lighting, integrating these elements with pool installations into unified outdoor environments. Equipment work leverages industry-standard components from Hayward, Pentair, and Jandy, plus automated chemical control systems.

Best Pool makes money through a mix of recurring monthly service contracts and one-time installation or design-build project revenue. Pricing is quote-based for projects, with disclosed item ranges from sub-$250 portable grills up to $50,000+ custom outdoor kitchens and luxury pool installations. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, driven by phone inquiries, website quote-request forms, content marketing via an educational blog, a referral program (Titan's Friend, 5% off), a first-visit promotion (10% off), and flexible financing options to broaden the addressable customer base for higher-ticket work. The company has earned a Top 50 national ranking from Pool and Spa News for concierge-level customer service, has been operating continuously for over 40 years under owner Jonathan Shaprio, and has no external investors, subsidiaries, or parent company.
