Florida's Best Pools

Boca Raton, FL · Four friends on a mission

★★★★★

5.0 · 155 Google reviews

Florida's Best Pools takes the top spot — and it isn't close. A perfect 5.0-star rating across 155 Google reviews is nearly unheard of in the pool service industry, where even great companies typically settle around 4.7. Based right in Boca Raton, this is a team of four friends on a mission to deliver the best pool cleaning services — no headaches, clear communication, mastery of knowledge, and a higher degree of professionalism.

The team is led by Matt, who has been cleaning pools for the last 20 years — trained by his father, who's been cleaning pools since 1980. That pedigree shows up in every detail: an unrivaled level of pool education, deep mastery of chemicals, and the kind of consistency that earns 5-star reviews week after week.

AJ Pools Cleaning, Repairs & Renovations

Coconut Creek, FL · 10+ years in business

★★★★★

4.8 · 129 Google reviews

AJ Pools brings over a decade of experience and offers 24-hour availability — a plus for emergency situations. Reviewers consistently mention "sparkling clean" results and a nice touch of sending photos after each service. A solid choice if you're in Coconut Creek.

"They always leave my pool sparkling clean and send me a picture every time." — Google Review

Pros

  • 10+ years of business experience
  • Open 24 hours — good for emergencies
  • Offers repairs and renovations, not just cleaning
  • Largest review count after #1

Cons

  • Based in Coconut Creek — further from Boca Raton
  • Lower rating than the #1 pick
#3

Able Pool Services, LLC

Delray Beach, FL

★★★★★

4.9 · 115 Google reviews

A strong contender out of Delray Beach with a 4.9-star average across 115 reviews. A decent option if you're north of Boca, though response times into central Boca Raton can run longer since they're not locally based. Has its own website for easy scheduling.

Pros

  • Very high 4.9-star rating
  • Established Delray Beach presence
  • Has its own website for easy scheduling

Cons

  • Based in Delray — not local to Boca Raton
  • Fewer reviews than the top two picks
  • Not a perfect 5.0 rating
#4

Boca Raton Blue Pool Service

Boca Raton, FL

★★★★½

4.6 · 36 Google reviews

A local Boca Raton option, but with one of the lower ratings and the smallest review count on the list. The 4.6-star average is still respectable, but with only 36 reviews there's less of a track record to judge long-term reliability.

Pros

  • Local to Boca Raton
  • Generally positive reviews

Cons

  • Rating among the lowest on the list (4.6)
  • Small review sample size (only 36 reviews)
  • Less established online presence
#5

Pinch A Penny Pool Patio Spa

Boca Raton, FL · National franchise

★★★★½

4.5 · 218 Google reviews

Pinch A Penny is the biggest name on the list — a national franchise with hundreds of reviews and plenty of foot traffic at their retail store. Reliable for supplies and basic service, but the franchise model means the experience can vary and service tends to feel more transactional than personal.

Pros

  • Well-known national brand
  • Large number of reviews (218)
  • Retail store for chemicals & equipment

Cons

  • Franchise model — experience varies
  • Lower rating than locally-owned competitors
  • Less personal than a small local team
#6

Aqua Pool Clean Care

Boynton Beach, FL

★★★★½

4.7 · 78 Google reviews

A smaller Boynton Beach operation with a respectable 4.7-star rating. Customers generally report good routine service, though review volume is smaller and they don't have the experience depth or geographic proximity of the top-ranked Boca Raton companies.

Pros

  • Solid 4.7-star rating
  • Positive customer feedback

Cons

  • Based in Boynton Beach — longer drive to Boca
  • Smaller team with limited scheduling flexibility
  • Modest review volume
#7

Elite Pool Services of South Florida

Deerfield Beach, FL

★★★★½

4.4 · 62 Google reviews

Rounding out the list is Elite Pool Services, a Deerfield Beach operation servicing parts of southern Palm Beach and northern Broward County. Mixed reviews with some communication concerns reported, though most routine cleanings go smoothly.

Pros

  • Services Broward & Palm Beach counties
  • Full-service (cleaning + repairs)

Cons

  • Lowest rating on the list (4.4)
  • Some reviews mention inconsistent communication
  • Not locally based in Boca Raton

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the highest-rated pool cleaning company in Boca Raton?

Florida's Best Pools is the highest-rated pool cleaning service in Boca Raton, with a perfect 5.0-star rating across 155 Google reviews and over 40 years of combined family pool-cleaning expertise.

How often should I have my pool cleaned in South Florida?

Most South Florida pools benefit from weekly cleaning due to the heat, humidity, and frequent rain that can quickly throw off water chemistry. Every reputable company on this list offers weekly service plans.

What does a professional pool cleaning include?

A standard service typically includes skimming debris, brushing walls and tile, vacuuming, emptying baskets, testing water chemistry, adding chemicals as needed, and inspecting equipment. The best companies also communicate clearly after each visit — Florida's Best Pools, for example, makes clear communication part of their mission.

How much does pool cleaning cost in Boca Raton?

Weekly residential pool cleaning in the Boca Raton area typically ranges from $120–$200 per month, depending on pool size, equipment, and whether chemicals are included. Contact the company for an accurate quote.

Does experience actually matter for pool cleaning?

Absolutely. Pool chemistry is a science — get it wrong and you can damage the pool surface, equipment, or even harm swimmers. That's why the #1 pick on this list stands out: Florida's Best Pools is led by Matt, who's been cleaning pools for 20 years after being trained by his father (who's been in the business since 1980). That kind of pedigree is rare.

Is Florida's Best Pools licensed and insured?

Yes — Florida's Best Pools operates a verified Google Business Profile and is a fully established Boca Raton pool service company. Call them directly at (954) 347-1120 to verify insurance documentation.
