Bart, Jakub, and their team have really been excellent. They installed a new liner and Salt Cell system for our pool after it was left in a terrible state of repair from the previous crew. Bart especially has been very supportive and went above and beyond to solve any issues we've had throughout the season. Highly recommended.

Excellent crew and ownerships. Very well trusted. Beyond suitable replacement for my past pool service team which lost their touch. What People for Pools promises, they deliver. Very very happy with this company. Highly Recommended

Jakub and Bart are fantastic. We have been using their company for several years now and they are always on time, friendly, honest and very easy to get ahold of whenever I need anything outside of the regular maintenance. The pool has been at its best and perfectly balanced and clean ever since we started using them. Thank you for being awesome!

I just received my new custom pool cover from People for Pools. They also closed my pool as they do every year. I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism Jakub and his staff provide us. He always has the right answer for technical questions associated with any of my pool equipment, I would recommend his company to family and friends.

Before you hire a pool builder in Ontario

Pool building itself is not a licensed trade, but the electrical work is, and the enclosure permit is mandatory.

Municipal pool enclosure permit

Required in essentially every Ontario municipality, usually before excavation begins. Bylaws specify fence height, gate self-closing and self-latching hardware, and how soon the enclosure must be in place. Enforcement is real and the liability if a child accesses an unfenced pool is severe.

Verify with: Your municipality's building or bylaw department.

ESA notification for pool electrical and bonding

Pool electrical must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor, and the metal structure must be bonded. This requires an ESA notification and inspection.

Verify with: The Electrical Safety Authority, esasafe.com.

Check People for Pools on the official register

Utility locates before excavation

Legally required. Gas and hydro service lines cross yards at unpredictable depths.

Verify with: Ontario One Call.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Excavation near a house foundation carries real risk. Confirm coverage amounts.
