A solid work ethic and desire to positively contribute to the community are the driving forces behind Premium Poolsmith, a Southlake-based pool service company owned by Will Smith and Devon Thompson.
The team places a high priority on quality customer service, which means being accessible to new and existing households, providing prompt responses to repair and maintenance requests, and going the extra mile to do little things that can make a difference in a client's day.
“We always want to leave things better than we found them and treat the homes as if they are our own,” shared operations manager Janice Seydel. “Will has been known to bring an empty trash bin back up the driveway or straighten up a bit around a pool. He still helps train our new employees so that they can learn our philosophy of great customer service.”
With years of experience in the industry, Thompson and Smith lead a team of professionals that specialize in providing high-quality pool care through weekly cleanings and maintenance, along with repair services and inspections. Their team also works with local builders to provide intensive 30-day start-up care required for new and re-plastered pools, which includes removing dust and debris from the pools and stabilizing the water chemistry.
Because the company is locally owned and operated, Thompson and Smith works with each customer to make sure their pool is in top shape throughout the year. With the intense Texas heat that comes with the long summer months, it's recommended that pool owners implement year-round care, such as weekly cleanings, replacing pool filters regularly, and testing the water to make sure it's balanced.
However, if a surprise issue arises that needs to be addressed quickly, Premium Poolsmith takes the time to identify the problem, whether it's algae growth, a clogged pump or a broken piece of equipment.
“We are small enough that we know every customer by name, and we have a relationship with our customers, but we are big enough that if somebody’s truck breaks down, it doesn’t mean a customer gets skipped that week,” Seydel said. "We may be just another pool company, but at the end of the day, we keep our commitment and pride ourselves on being qualified, prompt, and reasonable. We strive to be the best pool company out there."
As a second-chance employer, Premium Poolsmith provides an opportunity for those recovering from addiction to reenter the workplace in a caring, structured environment. Thompson and Smith work with each staff member to make sure their road to success is clear, especially since they personally understand what someone in recovery goes through.
“Will built this company after being in addiction recovery for several years and, because of that, we definitely have a heart for giving gainful employment to people who are really working at turning their life around,” Seydel explained. “Whether someone is simply joining our team or in recovery, we want this to be a place where people can grow.”
