About Guardian Pools
Six decades of keeping South Florida pools clean.
Founder William J. Adams started Guardian Pools in 1964 with one truck and a promise: show up when we say we will. That's still the whole business model.
On the record since 1964
Don't just take our word for how long we've been doing this — it's a matter of public record. Here's the actual paper trail.
Guardian Pools' original fictitious-name registration, filed with the Broward County Circuit Court by founder William J. Adams.
Fort Lauderdale News, October 22, 1964
“The best Swimming Pool Service is not the most expensive” — an early Guardian Pools ad, originally based at 2311 SW 31st Street, Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lauderdale News, 1965
“Swimmin’ Fun!” — by 1968 Guardian Pools had moved to 340 S. State Road 7 and expanded into pool toys, chemicals, and supplies alongside maintenance and repair.

Pool service is a low-drama business until the technician doesn't show up. Guardian Pools has spent 62+ years building routes, routines, and relationships across Broward and Palm Beach County around the opposite habit: showing up, every scheduled visit, whether it's a single backyard pool or a 200-unit condo association.
We're a Florida-licensed pool contractor (FL DBPR License #RP0024455) and Broward County-licensed (Broward County Contractor License #78-1179-PM), fully insured for residential and commercial work. Our commercial technicians are also CPO Licensed, the credential Florida DOH inspectors expect on staffed public and semi-public pools. That licensing isn't just paperwork — it's what lets property managers, HOAs, and homeowners hand us a pool and stop thinking about it.
What "We Show Up!" means in practice
- Set weekly or bi-weekly routes, not "whenever we get to it"
- Real technicians who know your equipment, not a rotating cast
- Straight answers on repairs — what needs fixing now vs. what can wait
- Documentation for HOAs, condo boards, and property managers on request
Who we serve
Our primary focus is commercial properties — HOAs, condo associations, hotels, restaurants, and municipal pools — along with resurfacing and remodeling for those same properties. We haven't stepped away from residential service, either: backyard pools are still on our routes across Broward County and Palm Beach County. See our full service area for every town we cover.
