Brett's Story

One guy.
Same person.
Every week.

Brett's grandparents had a kidney-shaped pool in Capistrano Beach. He started skimming it for them at age eleven, mostly because the water bugs fascinated him and he wanted an excuse to be in the backyard.

By high school he was the neighborhood pool kid. By 22 he was CPO certified. Tidewater Pool Co. opened in 2013, a one-truck, one-person company built around a single idea: the person who set up your service should be the person who shows up every week.

Twelve years in, Brett has never hired a tech, never sold the route, never sent a stranger to your back gate. He still does every visit himself.

"I don't subcontract. I show up. I know your pool, your pump quirks, your tile line, the leaf situation in October. That's the whole job."

Brett is here every Wednesday, rain, sun, holiday, doesn't matter. I've never had to call to ask where he is. That alone puts him ahead of every pool company I've used.

It's the same guy, every visit. He knows my pump, knows the spa is finicky, knows my lemon tree drops over the deep end. That kind of memory is priceless.

My heater started cycling weird and Brett told me "it's a $40 part, not a new heater", and he was right. The other guy I'd called wanted $4,200 for a replacement. I'd recommend Brett to anyone.

A photo and chemistry log shows up in my texts after every visit. I always know what happened in my backyard, even when I'm at work. Sounds small but it's the reason I tell every neighbor about him.

We bought a house in October. The pool was chemistry-soup green. Brett brought it back to crystal in three days, then took us on as a regular. Twelve years on a route and he still answers his own phone.

My sister referred me, my neighbor referred her, my friend in Aliso referred my neighbor. The whole street is on Brett's route now. That tells you everything.
