Pool & Spa Service: Openings, Closings, Liners & Repairs

Spend your summer enjoying your pool — and let us handle the rest.

Pool & Spa Works does far more than build beautiful pools — we keep them running flawlessly season after season, so you get all the fun with none of the worry. With more than 30 years of service experience and fully stocked vans ready to roll, we handle pool openings and closings  liner replacement, equipment repair and upgrades, and saltwater system service across the southwest Chicago suburbs. Give our office a call early and we'll get you on the schedule that works for you.
Pool Opening & Closing (Winterizing)
Kick off summer with a carefree, professional pool opening — or protect your investment with proper winterizing when the season winds down. When we close your pool for winter, we blow out all your lines and pull the water from your equipment so freezing temperatures can't cause expensive damage. Call early to grab your spot; spring and fall fill up fast!
Replacement Liners (Inground & Above-Ground)

We install more replacement liners than anyone in the southwest area — and a fresh one can make your pool feel brand new. Because our season is short, we move quickly: come in and pick the color and design you love, and we'll professionally measure your pool for a perfect fit and keep you posted so we stay on schedule. Ask about upgrading to a thicker 27-mil liner for the same price as our standard 20-mil.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why is professional pool winterizing important?
Proper winterizing protects your investment. We blow out the plumbing lines and remove water from your equipment so freezing temperatures can't crack pipes, pumps, filters, or heaters over a long Illinois winter.
