Founded in 1986 by Ed and Gail Kessler, Pooltek Inc. is a family-owned pool service company based in Rockville, Maryland. The company began as a small operation out of the Kessler family's home in Bethesda, their mission being to provide exceptional personal attention and technical expertise to pool maintenance, setting them apart from common industry stereotypes. Ed Kessler's background as an aeronautical engineer instilled a unique analytical approach to the company, ensuring clients could trust their significant investments in pools to a knowledgeable team.
By 1999, Ed’s son Jeff took over operations, expanding Pooltek's services to include a broad array of offerings from comprehensive pool maintenance to renovation services such as tile, coping, plaster, and deck work. Later, Jeff's brother Kevin joined the team, helping to grow the business's service department significantly, now boasting a fleet of twenty-eight full-service vehicles, dedicated to meeting customer needs in the Maryland and Northern Virginia areas.
