*Based on typical Pool Solar System with free & clear access to collectors and equipment pad. Steep pitch roof, difficult to access & some light weight tile roofs shall have additional costs.
Price based on "bundling" clients in the same area on the same day at the same time.

NOTE: $20.00 surcharge for flat roof winterizations (blow out collectors with air).

$65.00 trip fee for special trips, not "bundled" with others.

This is not an appointment-based service. Service is based on doing several clients in the same area on the same day. We plug in the addresses into the GPS, go to the furthest out and work our way back.

We require free and clear access to the pool and pump areas. Let us know if we need gate codes or hidden keys.

Due to high demand, we will be offering (2) groups:

Group I
Winterization: October 1st – November 30th +/-
Spring Start: April 1st – April 30th +/-

Group II
Winterization: October 1st – November 30th +/-
Spring Start: May 1st – May 31st +/-

First come, first served. Please e-mail back “FREE AND CLEAR ACCESS GRANTED” to get your position. Those that grant free and clear access first will get placed into Group I; the rest into Group II.

Please be patient. This is a tedious process and needs to get done as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We serve Contra Costa, Alameda and Solano Counties. We schedule in groups; starting south, moving north, then east moving west. If we miss you on the first pass through, we will get to you the next time around.

After you are placed into a Group, keep an eye out for an e-mail stating when we will be in your area.
