Sarasota · Lakewood Ranch · Since 2014
Hoffman Pool Services is a family-run weekly pool route across Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch. Same hands, same routine, same number you’ve been seeing on the trailer for 12+ years.
Years on the route
Started one pool, April 2014. Same route ever since.
Word-of-mouth
Every customer started as a referral from a neighbor.
Truck, one phone
No call centers, no franchise sub-contractors.
Sarasota-born
Owner-operated by a Sarasota native and lifelong firefighter.
What we do
Most Sarasota pools need the same thing — someone reliable, every week, with the same hands. That's the whole job.
Brush, vacuum, skim, empty baskets, scrub the tile line. Your pool gets the same routine on the same day every week. Most homes take 30–45 minutes.
Test and balance the water on every visit. Chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, salt cell, stabilizer. Adjusted on the spot — no second visits to fix what we found on the first.
Where it started
Hoffman Pool Services is owned and operated by Cy Hoffman — born and raised in Sarasota, a former beach lifeguard, and a part-time firefighter at Station 10 on Fruitville Rd.
The business started in April 2014 with a single pool. Twelve years later, the route stretches across Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch — and it’s never been advertised. Every customer came from a neighbor watching the trailer pull up week after week.




The work
A real Sarasota pool from the route. The difference one cleaning makes when the chemistry is right and the brush + vacuum get done properly.

Where we go
Twelve years of weekly routes through the same neighborhoods. If you're inside this map, the truck has probably already passed your driveway.
Downtown Sarasota, Palmer Ranch, University Park, Bee Ridge, Gulf Gate, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, and the surrounding Sarasota neighborhoods.
All Lakewood Ranch villages — Country Club, Greenbrook, Esplanade, Polo Run, Mallory Park, Lorraine Lakes, Summerfield — plus the surrounding LWR area.
Why hire us
No different sub each week. The same person who knows your pool last week is the one cleaning it this week.
12+ years of weekly visits. The schedule doesn't slip — same fire-station discipline applies here too.
Algae, chemistry drift, equipment whining — flagged on the visit, before they turn into the call you didn't want to make.
If the pool needs something, we tell you. If it doesn’t, we tell you that too. No upsells, no scope creep.
Some pools on the route have been with us since the first month. That's how this business actually grew.
Local water, local algae blooms, local storm patterns, local quirks. We grew up here.
Send us your address and pool size. Most quotes go back the same day.
