Profile Draft
- https://www.jpspoolstgeorge.com/ - Google Business listing - Verification notes: Address 925 North Westridge Drive, St. George, UT 84770. Founded 1989. Site states "as many as 26 technicians working full time" and "over 550 pools maintained year-round" in Washington County. Owner name not published on the public site.
Johansen's Pool Service is the largest of the locally rooted pool-service operators in Washington County, and one of the oldest — in business since 1989 from an office on North Westridge Drive on the west side of St. George. The company self-reports up to 26 full-time technicians and a year-round maintained book of 550+ pools, which would make it one of the higher-volume single-location pool operations in Southern Utah.
Service mix runs the full pool-and-spa stack: weekly maintenance, pump and filter repair, heater service, automatic-cover installation and repair, UV and ozone systems, solar, leak detection, and chemical balancing. The 550-pool route count is the headline operational fact: at that scale the company functions as a small infrastructure business rather than a one-truck operation, which has implications for service consistency (multiple technicians per route, formal scheduling) and for pricing (route density allows competitive per-pool pricing).
Thirty-six years of continuous operation in St. George is itself a strong verification signal. The address is a real Utah business address rather than a P.O. box, the 435 phone is a longstanding St. George prefix, and the service area is Washington County–focused rather than the broader-but-thinner regional footprint that some larger pool operators publish.
The trade-off worth flagging: at 26 technicians, this is no longer a single-owner-on-the-truck operation, and the "locally owned" label needs to be checked against ownership structure (private owner, partnership, or possibly a private equity rollup of regional pool companies, which has happened to multiple operators of this size in the broader Southwest).
Unresolved Questions
- Confirm legal owner name(s) and ownership structure (single owner, partnership, holding company).
- Confirm whether Johansen's is still independently owned or has been acquired by a regional/national pool roll-up.
- Confirm pool construction licensing (vs. service-only licensing).
