Get matched with top swimming pool opening & closing service pros in Lake Forest, IL

"I needed someone to close my pool as an injury prevented me from doing the job myself. William (company owner) responded within 10 minutes of me requesting the service on Angi. We chatted about the pool, I sent him a couple pics of the pool and mechanicals. He provided a very fair quote right away. Based on his timeliness and professionalism, we scheduled the job. William and his crew arrived on time the next day and got right to work. Efficient, professional, and friendly. He knocked on the door to ask any questions he had during the closing. Start to finish, he and his crew had the pool drained, lines cleared, plumbing winterized and covers in place - all in about 90 minutes. Would have taken me all day! Responsive, professional, fairly priced, courteous - You can't ask for anything more from this service provider. BIG thumbs up for The Dolphins Pool Service!!!"

"Prompt, efficient and knowledgeable. Completed my pool opening and cleaned it up in two visits."

"They did a good job. They were very good and I've used them more than once. I would recommend them."

"There was a terrible storm overnight and my pool and spa looked horrific my pool was green and had a bunch of leaves and branches in it, I was hosting a big party for an engagement celebration the next day, so I was very stressed out, I had called other pool companies and received no response, when I reached out to Marco, he responded right away, was very empathetic to the urgency of my situation and he was able to come first thing in the morning and he made my pool look amazing! He’s a very honest and extremely professional person, I will only ever trust him to work on my pool from now on! He’s the best person you can ever hire to work on any and all of your pool needs! "

"Very happy with PJs Pools. Needed the heater fixed on our pool. They came out and had to order a part. Ordered the parts needed and had it fixed in a couple of days at a very reasonable cost. Heater is working great."

"Prompt, reliable and did a great job"

"We couldn't be happier with the work Elevation Pool and Hardscape did on our in-ground pool repair! From the very first phone call, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely knowledgeable. They quickly diagnosed the issues we had been dealing with for months — including a cracked shell, worn plaster, and some failing coping stones — and walked us through every step of the repair process in a way that was easy to understand. The crew showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and completed the job within the timeline they promised. The craftsmanship is outstanding — the plaster finish is smooth and flawless, and the repaired hardscape blends seamlessly with the existing surroundings. It's hard to believe it was ever damaged at all."
