About Us
I Treat You the Way I Would Want to Be Treated
It's as simple as that, nobody likes being treated like they're just another customer.
Just as you’re selective about who you allow into your backyard, I’m just as discerning about the clients I work with. Earning your trust and respect is my top priority, as I’ll be working in your private family space.
There’s nothing quite like diving into a crystal-clear, refreshing pool when Sacramento’s temperatures soar into the triple digits—it’s invigorating, relaxing, and a source of endless fun.
However, that experience quickly turns unpleasant if the water is dirty or the chemical balance is off—not just for you but for the health of your pool as well.
As a fully licensed and bonded California contractor, I am legally authorized to perform repairs over $500, ensuring protection for both you as the customer and myself as the contractor. In fact, I estimate that only about 10% of pool service and repair companies, like Darren’s Pool Services, are properly licensed for installations such as pumps, filters, and control panels. To protect yourself, always verify the credentials of the company you hire.
I’ve spent most of my life working around pools, though I did take a five-year detour into law enforcement back in Great Britain. Ultimately, I decided I liked my odds better in the pool business—less risk of being shot or stabbed!
