Our History
Windermere Pool Services is a premier family owned pool cleaning company offering pool cleaning, maintenance, education and repairs throughout Orlando and Central Florida, including Bay Hill, Dr. Phillips, Gotha, Lake Buena Vista, Metro West, Ocoee, Windermere and Winter Garden. We are licensed and insured to service residential swimming pools.
Where It All Started
Our company was founded in 1987 and set up in heart of downtown Windermere. Back then, the population of Windermere was approximately 1,600 people (yes, one thousand six hundred!). Orange groves were everywhere and the airport on Maguire Road was standing tall. Since that time, Windermere Pool Services has undergone ownership, location, and name changes — all moving us toward the premier, service-focused, family owned organization we are today.
In 2005, we made the decision to close the busy retail side of our business to redirect our focus and specialize in cleaning and repair services. We decided to devote all our experience, knowledge and energy solely to giving you the best quality service possible.
Our superior service and well-trained service technicians caused neighborhoods to confidently refer to our company for top quality service. And expertise in our trade combined with the natural growth in the area allowed us to quickly become the premier swimming pool service company we are today.
Family Focused
Windermere Pool Services is owned and operated by Joe & Jenny Burns of Maguire Road, in Ocoee (the center of the company’s operations). Originally from the United Kingdom, Joe, Jenny and their four children — Sam, Josh, Hannah, and Danny — relocated to Florida in 2004 where they met the previous owners Howard and Peggy Haire. Joe went into the swimming pool industry after 24 years in banking incorporating his strengths in the importance of customer communications and his near obsession with the quality of service while Jenny, who was in banking and administration, brought her extremely detail oriented personality. When Jenny says something will be done by Thursday, it will probably be done on Wednesday.
Our Valued Customers
Our company has grown to several Orlando communities including Bay Hill, Dr. Phillips, Ocoee and several more. Our goal is to ensure our clients receive the best quality service possible. While we are often asked to expand our service area to new locations, we have remained true to our belief that serving a small area gives us the ability to better focus on giving you the best quality of our service.
We hope we will have the opportunity to serve you in the near future.
