What a Pool Service job looks like in SideWRK.
The pool service job as the app lays it out — your own cost sitting on it, and the estimate your customer approves from their phone.
Everything a pool route needs — in one app
Per-visit & repair billing
Bill the weekly service at your rate, then itemize the extras — green-to-clean, filter clean, salt cell, pump or motor swap — each as its own line with your private cost behind it.
Before / after photo proof
Snap the pool before and after on the same job. The customer sees the difference on the estimate and invoice — and you have a record if anyone ever questions the work.
Customers approve from their phone
Text a branded link for any repair over the visit. The customer taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount — so the pump swap is authorized before you order the part.
Get paid your way
Take a card or Apple Pay in the app, and the money goes to your own Stripe account on its normal payout schedule. Jobs flip to Paid the moment the balance hits zero.
Real profit, not just revenue
Every chemical and part carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees — so the Money tab shows what each stop and each repair actually nets you.
Chemical & service record
Your business name, logo, and license print on every estimate and invoice, alongside the chemicals added, the service performed, photos, and a logged approval for every repair.
Pool Service
The work this app was built around.
Estimate. Invoice. Get paid.
SideWRK runs the business side from your phone, on the job.
Bill the weekly visit, quote the green-to-clean and the pump swap on the spot, snap before/after proof, and get paid — a card or Apple Pay tapped right there in the driveway — with your real profit on every pool.
From service stop to "paid" in three steps
Log the stop
Add the customer and pool, then add the visit and any extras — chemicals, a filter clean, a repair — with a before/after photo.
Send it
Text a branded invoice or estimate. For repairs, the customer reviews the photos and taps Approve — authorization logged automatically.
Get paid
Record the payment however it came in; the job flips to Paid and your real profit lands in the Money tab.

Pool Service FAQ
Is SideWRK good for a one-person pool route?
Yes — it is built for the solo operator. Log the weekly stop, quote a repair on the deck, snap before/after photos, and get paid from your phone, without the crew-and-dispatch software the big platforms push.
Can I bill the weekly service and a repair on the same job?
Yes. Bill the weekly visit at your rate, then add itemized extras — green-to-clean, filter clean, salt cell, pump or motor swap — each as its own line, with your private cost behind it for true profit.
How do customers pay me?
Any way you like. Take a card or Apple Pay in the app, send a payment request against a handle you already use, or take cash and record it in a tap. Card money settles into your own account and SideWRK never takes a cut of it.
Can customers approve a repair from their phone?
Yes. Send a branded link with the photos; the customer taps Approve and it is logged with their name, the time, and the amount — so the repair is authorized before you order parts.
How much does it cost?
SideWRK is $19/month, with every trade and every feature included. It starts on the free plan: five jobs a rolling year, no card, and no expiry. Paying lifts every limit — $19 a month, or $190 a year.
