About this route

This is a 258-account pool service route in Southwest Florida — 234 residential and 24 commercial — anchored in Cape Coral with strong density across Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, the McGregor and Iona corridors, Cypress Lake, and Pine Manor, plus supporting clusters in Lehigh Acres, Burnt Store Marina, San Carlos Park, Estero, and Bonita Springs. The book mix gives a buyer the predictability of a large residential foundation alongside the higher per-stop billing density of a commercial book. The route sits in one of Florida's highest pool-density markets — Cape Coral's canal-front and inland residential grid keeps daily routes tight, and Florida's year-round service calendar keeps revenue flat across all twelve months with no seasonal closures. The business is currently operated semi-absentee, with three full-time 1099 technicians running the daily service work and the owner overseeing administration, which gives a new buyer two clear paths forward: continue semi-absentee with labor in place, or step into the field as an owner-operator and capture the labor margin directly. Payment is well diversified across the book — roughly 30% on autopay, 40% paying by credit card, and the remaining 30% by check or alternative method — which keeps collections clean and cash flow predictable from month to month.

What's included

A complete account roster covering all 258 customers — residential and commercial — with contact details, service-day routing, current monthly rates, and per-property notes covering pump and filter specs, sanitizer type, chemistry preferences, gate or lanai access, pet considerations, and any account-specific scheduling notes. The handoff also includes each technician's working route sheet, transfer of any active service agreements in place with commercial property managers and HOAs, a customer introduction letter sent on your behalf, and a signed non-compete from the seller covering Lee County and the surrounding service area. The seller's existing 1099 technician relationships can be introduced and retained at your option — these are independent contractors rather than W-2 employees, so there's no payroll to absorb, no employer-tax obligation, and the transition is a contract assignment rather than a personnel onboarding. Three service trucks are available for purchase from the seller alongside the route, giving a buyer who wants a turnkey operation the option to acquire accounts, labor, and fleet in a single closing.

Transition support

The seller provides a two-to-four week ride-along structured to fit your intended operating model — full field walk-throughs and customer introductions if you plan to run the route yourself, or systems and back-office handoff if you intend to continue with the existing semi-absentee structure. Because the business already runs with three field technicians, you can retain the existing labor from day one and engage at whatever level you choose; the seller will personally introduce you to each 1099 tech and to every commercial property-management contact on the book. A 60-day account guarantee is included — any customer lost in that window for reasons unrelated to your service is replaced at no additional cost or credited against the purchase price. Phone and text access to the seller continues for 90 days after close, covering billing questions, equipment quirks, technician matters, and any account-specific situations that come up while you're settling into the route.
