The Franchise vs Local Decision
Pool Scouts is a national franchise. While they may offer consistent branding, the actual service quality depends entirely on the local franchise owner and their hired technicians.
When you hire a franchise, you're often paying for corporate overhead, marketing costs, and franchise fees that don't improve your pool care. And you rarely get the same technician consistently.
With Jerico's Pools, I'm the owner, and I'm the one servicing your pool. No middlemen, no rotating staff, no corporate overhead. Just quality pool care from someone who stakes his reputation on every visit.
