If you've searched "pool cleaning cost" and found nothing but vague ranges or "call for a quote," you're not alone. Here's what pool service actually costs in La Porte, TX and the surrounding area, based on real pricing from Armon's Aquatics.
Weekly Pool Cleaning: $200 to $350 a Month
Most homeowners in La Porte, Deer Park, Seabrook, Kemah, and League City pay $200 a month for weekly pool cleaning. That includes one visit a week: brushing, skimming, basket cleanout, and chemical balancing.
Pools that need more attention, larger pools, heavy tree cover, or homes that use the pool often, typically move to twice-weekly service, which starts around $350 a month.
Prices vary based on pool size and condition. A company that quotes the exact same flat rate to every pool regardless of size usually isn't looking closely enough.
Green Pool Cleanup: Starting at $599
If your pool has turned green from algae, that's a separate, one-time job, not part of a weekly plan. Our Green-to-Clean service starts at $599 and typically clears a pool in 3 to 5 days depending on how bad it's gotten. See our green pool cleaning page for the full process.
Filter Cleaning: $125
A filter cleaning is a separate service from routine weekly maintenance, recommended every 3 to 6 months. It runs $125 and keeps your system working efficiently so your water actually stays clear between visits.
Equipment Repairs: Priced Per Job
Pump and heater repairs don't have a flat rate because the jobs aren't the same size. A pump repair might run a couple hundred dollars; a heater repair costs more. Any legitimate pool company should look at the actual problem before quoting a price, not just name a number over the phone.
Why Some Quotes Are Cheaper
You'll find pool services advertising lower weekly rates. Before picking the cheapest number, ask what's actually included: is it a real weekly visit or a "we'll get to it when we can" schedule, are chemicals included in the price, and is it the same technician every time or whoever's available that week. A lower price that means inconsistent service usually costs more in the long run once you're dealing with algae, stained plaster, or fixing avoidable equipment damage.
