Pro Pool Inspectors

What Pro Pool Inspectors does

Pro Pool Inspectors (Professional Pool Inspectors LLC) is a Nashville, Tennessee-based private company that provides certified residential pool inspections, proprietary inspection software, accredited training courses, and marketing services targeted at the pool inspection vertical. Founded by Dennis Boyd when he separated his pool inspection work from his pool service business, the company serves homebuyers, real estate agents, home inspectors, and pool service companies across the Nashville metropolitan area, with software and remote training distributed nationally and globally. Inspectors hold the Certified Watershape Real Estate Inspector (CWRI) credential from Watershape University, and the company operates as an IACET-accredited continuing education provider.

The company's core technology is a proprietary mobile pool inspection application — described as the first and only dedicated pool inspection software on the market — which walks inspectors through a structured workflow covering fencing, deck area, surfaces, plumbing, filtration, sanitization, electrical systems, and accessories, then generates complete reports. The app is sold through a self-serve member portal at three pricing tiers: a one-time use option (up to three reports), a monthly subscription, and a yearly subscription with a 15% discount and unlimited reports. Training is delivered as a two-day Certified Residential Pool Inspector (CRPI) course (in-person in Nashville and remote with live instruction, awarding 1.3 IACET CEUs) plus a three-hour marketing course (0.3 CEUs); both include a trial version of the app, creating a funnel from certified graduates into paying software subscribers.

The revenue model blends one-time regional service fees (inspections, training) with recurring global software subscriptions and marketing services. The company does not train competitors inside its own service area due to conflict of interest. There are no disclosed funding rounds, and ownership rests with founder Dennis Boyd, who also receives royalties on all app subscriptions, with Matt Dubé serving as Director of Marketing & Sales.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• HomeGauge: Established home inspection software platform offering report templates and scheduling tools. Similar to Spectora, it competes for the same pool/home inspector workflow and could absorb pool-specific functionality over time.
• Spectora: Leading home inspection reporting software platform used by inspectors across the US. Competes directly with PPI's proprietary pool inspection app for the same buyer (inspection professionals), and its flexibility to add pool modules threatens the 'only dedicated pool app' positioning.

Others

• Inspectorio: Cloud-based inspection management platform for supply chain and product compliance. While not a direct residential inspection competitor, it represents the broader SaaS-enabled inspection market trend and could pivot into adjacent niches over time.

Broad incumbents

• WIN Home Inspection: National home inspection franchise providing pre-listing and buyer inspections. Similar to Pillar To Post, competes for real estate inspection mandates and could internalize or partner for pool inspection capability at national scale.
• American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI): Premier professional association for home inspectors in North America. Sets standards and offers training that competes indirectly with PPI's CRPI by certifying generalists who then offer pool inspection as an add-on service.
• InterNACHI: International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, the largest home inspector training and certification body in the US. Offers pool inspection training modules and certifications to a much broader inspector base, representing the generalist alternative to PPI's specialist training.
• Leslie's: Largest pool and spa supply retailer and service provider in the US. Could plausibly extend into pool inspections using its national footprint and existing customer base, representing a scaled, well-capitalized entrant threat to PPI's services business.
• Pillar To Post Home Inspectors: Largest home inspection franchise in North America with a national network. Competes with PPI for the same real estate transaction inspection dollar and could either build internal pool inspection capability or partner with/subsidize competing pool specialists.
• Watershape University: Pool and spa industry's leading education institution and the issuer of the CWRI credential PPI's inspectors hold. It is both a strategic partner and a broader competitor in pool/spa education, training inspectors across more disciplines than PPI.

Regional players

• ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company: National pool service franchise providing maintenance, repair, and renovation. Already targets the same residential pool owner base as PPI and could add inspection as a complementary service line using its existing technician network.
