Here’s What Our Customers Say About a Worry-Free Winter
Chris and Elroy did a fantastic job when they closed my pool. They truly care about doing a professional job and did not leave until they were 100% happy making everything was done perfectly. I had another company for 25 years and they did a good job but not as good as Chris and Elroy. I look forward to seeing them in the spring.
They did a fantastic job. Thank you to Jeanine for coordinating and to Alvaro and his team for a job well done.
The tech Austen was great. Extremely knowledgeable.
Paul Romanelli & Son Pool Service provides excellent service! They are always timely and do an amazing job keeping my pool clean and well maintained. The office staff is wonderful, friendly, and very accommodating. Jeanine is an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend this family-owned pool company for all your pool service needs. You won't be disappointed!
Always on time. Always reliable. Overly communicative. Great service provided. Nice people.
This was my first pool season using Romanelli Pools for both opening and closing. It was a great experience both times, great communication and awesome work by the team. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a new pool service company.
Great team! Chris and Alvaro were very professional, patient, well prepared. They communicated very well and answered all of my questions.
Every single crew from Romanelli pool company has been terrific. So polite and efficient and thorough. I highly recommend them. Jeffrey and his crew today were so good and nice. Thanks.
Good communication, kept me posted, and job well done.
Austin and Joe P were excellent! The pool is closed. Thank you!!
Very reliable company, great service, always show up when they say they will, pool is always clean and clear. Would highly recommend!!
I have been extremely pleased with Romanelli & Son. I have used them for pool school, to open and close my pool, and help with a filter cleaning. As a first time pool owner, I'm extremely grateful to have a friendly, professional, and fairly priced company to help me. They communicate, show up on time, and really go above and beyond. I highly recommend them! Austin in particular has been fabulous!
This is our 3rd season using Romanelli & Sons pool service, including our switch to salt water. They are responsive, courteous and diligent. Our pool looks great. We are very happy with their service and highly recommend this company.
Had Austin and Joe P from Romanelli & Son Pool Service close the pool today. As usual, you guys did a great job!
Technician arrived on time (actually a bit early). He was seriously efficient and very pleasant. The service cost was totally acceptable. Excellent choice. Thank you.
I used this company in May for my opening and throughout the season for maintenance. Today I had my first closing with them which I expected to be canceled due to horrible weather. But they showed up on time and did a wonderful job cleaning and closing my pool to have it ready to go next season. I could not be happier with the service I have received from them.
Sylvia was excellent and did not try to take advantage of my desperate state to get my pool cleaned and functioning. I was given sound advice and a speedy appointment. I will be a customer for life. Just because of how she dealt with me and gave me my estimates and upfront cost. Plus their prices are manageable and reasonable. My technicians were also wonderful, helpful and courteous. All around great experience!!
Professional, knowledgeable, and very respectful employees. Jeanine is such a wonderful woman so helpful and understanding.
Romanelli have been fantastic to work with. They show up exactly when they say they will, communicate clearly when they're on the way, and consistently deliver top-notch work. My pool equipment is non-standard, but they always take the time to understand it, troubleshoot properly, and make sure everything is running perfectly. They also walk me through what they've done. Thanks to them, my pool is always pristine. I plan on being a customer for life.
Nate and Martin closed my pool and were great and efficient!
Austin &Nate closed my pool today. They did a great job. Cleaned up and it’s because of service techs like Austin & Nate I continue to use Romanelli & sons.

TOTALLY recommend this company. I was away and my pool turned a nasty green. Within five days the water is crystal clear. They were very kind on the phone, sent a picture, they were there the next day and then came today to power vacuum it. I appreciate how quick they were and on time. Communication was AWESOME. Thanks Again!!!
I have used this company for over 30 years. They have always been responsive, reliable and professional and they do great work. Justin recently found 3 tears in our liner that were causing leaks, and successfully patched them. He did a great job as always.
Michael was absolutely the best. He was quick, precise, professional and above all did the job like a real pro!! I would recommend this company to everyone!! Thank you.
Justin and Martin are the best. My pool fountains are now controlled on our iPhones. My wife is happy so our house is happy. Thank you. Joe
Andre and crew did great work. Very efficient and helpful with pool service.
Tech was great. Nice. Polite. Friendly. Did a great job. He was a pleasure to be around.
Thank you Romanelli pool & thank you Anthony for restoring my pool to its optimal look! Anthony is a great service man who is easy to talk to and humble with his knowledge. I am more than happy with Romanelli pool services.
Anthony power-vacuumed our pool today. He was friendly, cordial, and very professional. The pool was left crystal-clear. Anthony also checked the water chemistry, and he reconnected a filter hose that had gotten loose. I would highly recommend Anthony and Romanelli Pool Service.
Had a green pool. Tried everything. Irbin came by and took care of us. We are on the way to a clear pool!!
I had a great experience with Romanelli Pools. The technician Dana was very qualified, professional and nice. She explained everything and gave great advice. I would highly recommend their service. Great job!!!
Matt is customer service at its best Thank you for the phenomenal job
I had an amazing experience with Randy. I finally feel at ease with a company that I can trust to help me with my pool!
Very happy with my first service. The tech was right on time, explained all and advised honestly. After trying with another company that was expensive and unreliable, really happy I called this company. Pool looks clear and power vac was great. Levels properly adjusted. Thank you. I am looking forward to more repair and maintenance!
I have had bad experiences with 3 companies before Romanelli. I finally feel like we can trust the company that is coming to clean our pool and balance our chemicals. Alfonzo has been a big part of this excellent experience. He has helped me navigate the issues I had opening our pool every step of the way and then has continued to proactively checked in with me to make sure everything is going well and that we are enjoying our pool.
Love Romanelli and sons! Andre did an amazing job! We’ve been using them for years
Martin and his partner were amazing! Very efficient and informative. Great at cleaning up the pool and putting things away in the garage!
My entire experience with Paul Romanelli & Son Pool Service Company, has been outstanding. I would without a doubt recommend this company. From my first contact with Jeanine, Silvia and Alfonzo, who aided in my selection of a new filter. To today's installation and opening by two fantastic employee's Daniel and Urban! Daniel who meticulously installed my awesome new filter. While Urban assisted, opened my pool, folded up and stored my loop lock, installed all accessories and chemicals. These were two exemplary kind, polite, skilled professional's.
The men were excellent. Austin and his associate did a perfect job of opening my pool. They were on time and quite considerate. Thank you!
The two technicians Austin & Nate were a pleasure and very professional. My whole experience opening my pool was seamless with no issues! Highly recommend!
Dana was just here to power vacuum our pool. It was the first time we had this service done. She did a great job. We works definitely use this service again.
Very professional, convenient online scheduling and great communication. The tech Bruce who was kind and patient. Great company.
Austin was excellent with my pool opening, Romanelli Pools is an honest company and there when needed.
I Always use Romanelli for anything pool! They are efficient, customer service is great and their crews are professional. Justin always seems to be on my jobs and he’s fantastic. Knowledgeable and never tries to sell you anything you don’t need. Thanks Romanelli.
A big thank you to Austin from Romanelli Pools for his fantastic service opening my pool! Starting my first season with Romanelli Pools, and the experience with Austin and the overall friendly demeanor of the team has been wonderful. Hoping for a great season ahead!
Always a pleasure working with these guys. Martin was professional and efficient! Highly recommend!!
Austin and his assistant quick resolved my problem highly recommend!
This is the first time I’ve used Romanelli to open my pool. I was very impressed at their availability updates. The service was excellent. I hope that they can maintain this level of service throughout the summer. Jeffrey was wonderful.! He’s very friendly with a no problem I can take care of it attitude
Great communication for scheduling our pool opening. Jeffrey and Austin were fantastic! They opened our pool without any hiccups, were extremely helpful walking us through the system as new pool owners, and troubleshooted all little blips that came up. Highly recommend them and the team overall at Romanelli pools!
Great customer service. Very easy to deal with. And good pricing. I get the weekly service all year so I don't have to think about it. My pool is spotless all year round because of this company.
Arrived on time per earlier text advisory. Worked quickly and well to close Endless Pool and haul hard cover over it for the winter. Will miss it until they reopen come Spring.
As a single Mom with a pool that I tried to take care of myself this year, I ran into some problems with the closing. Rangi in the office was easy to work with to get an appt that worked for me. Danny V and his helper came over to clean out my filter and were the best! They taught me some things I didn't know and graciously answered all my questions. I would recommend this company to all my friends. Will use them again for sure!
I've been a loyal customer for years. From opening and closing our pool to replacing our pool liner which came out great. Most recently we had our pipes, skimmers and jets replaced due to a leak. They were very professional and Pablo guided us through the process. We booked the job and a week later they completed the job in 3 days, just as promised. When it was done, you can't tell that the pool was worked on. I highly recommend them!
I had my pool opened and closed multiple times with this company. Jeffrey and his assistant Kevin, were very knowledgeable and worked very diligently to get the job done while answering all my questions. Great service along with great character. Thanks you.

Get my instant cover price →What happens during an Endless Pool Checkup?
An Endless Pool hides its own wear. The system is sealed and quiet, so everything looks fine right up until the day it doesn't, and by then you're paying for a repair instead of a tune‑up. The checkup is how we stay ahead of that.
Twice a year, Paul goes through the whole system:
- Replaces the cartridge filter media, so you're not pushing water through a loaded filter for another six months
- Replaces the Nature2 mineral cartridge that keeps your water sanitized with barely any chlorine
- Inspects the hydraulic motor and drive system for early signs of wear
- Checks the pump, heater and plumbing connections for leaks or strain
- Tests and balances your water chemistry
- Cleans the filter housing and the equipment around it
- Walks you through anything he finds, while it's still small
Paul has been installing and servicing Endless Pools on Long Island since 2001 and is a factory‑trained, Platinum‑status installer. He does these himself. You get the person who knows your pool, not whoever was free that day.
You can book the checkup directly
The bi‑yearly checkup is a set service, so there's nothing to quote. Pick your date and Paul will be there. Filter inspection, cartridge media replacement, and a full system once‑over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here on Long Island we close most pools between mid-September and the end of October.
Later is better for water chemistry, since cooler water means less chance of algae under the cover. But there is a real trade-off: from November the days are short, cold-weather closings take longer, and our calendar is tight. That is why closings from November 1 carry a $75 late-season surcharge.
The sweet spot is the first three weeks of October. Water is cool enough to winter well, and you get your pick of dates. If you need to go later than that, we will still take care of you, just book early so we can fit you in.
Closing a pool by yourself is a formidable task. But with perseverance, determination, and some careful planning, it can be done. Here’s a general overview:
Balance the water chemistry and add winterizing chemicals
Clean the pool and lower the water level
Remove ladder and handrails
Disconnect the filter, pump, and peripherals
Clean the filter and filter tank
Drain, dry and winterize the plumbing (blow-out the lines)
Turn off your heater gas valve
Place the multiport valve in the closed position
Install the winter pool cover
Put the pump, chlorinator, and salt cell away for the winter
Yes, you should shock the pool before closing it. Adding sanitizer will help control any bacteria or algae that may be lingering in the water.
We recommend raising the free available chlorine level up to at least 3 ppm at closing time.
Don’t even think of not closing your pool!
Pipes and lines can freeze and burst, you could get an algae infestation, your expensive filtration equipment will get damaged…all bad things!
If you don’t want to close your pool, please give us a call and let us handle it for you.
It’s best to schedule your pool closing at least a few weeks in advance, especially during the busy fall season. This ensures you get the date that works best for you and avoids last-minute stress.
Absolutely! As long as we have access to your pool and equipment, we can handle the entire process. You’ll receive a detailed checklist of everything we’ve done.
Clear a path to the pool and the equipment pad, unlock any gates, and keep pets inside while the crew is on site. Have your pool cover and closing accessories out and accessible. That is it. We handle the rest.
Yes! A properly installed pool cover will keep out leaves, dirt, and debris, protecting your water quality and saving you time during spring opening.
No problem! We specialize in custom pool closings and can properly winterize all features, ensuring everything is protected from freezing temperatures.
Your closing includes the chemical treatment needed to shut the pool down safely.
Our Winter Chemical Bundle goes further: enzymes, stain remover, polyquat algaecide and non-chlorine shock, dosed for the size of your pool as we close it. It is the difference between pulling the cover off clear water in the spring or a green mess that takes a week and a service call to fix.
Most of our full-season customers take it. At $159 for an in-ground pool it is about 20% off buying the four products separately.
We close pools in 83 towns across Suffolk and Nassau, from our shop in Bohemia. See the full list in Areas we serve. Not on the list? Call or text (631) 472-6275 and we will check your address.
