Orinda’s hillside neighborhoods, mature tree canopy, and mix of mid-century and custom estate homes create pool maintenance conditions that demand real expertise. In neighborhoods like Sleepy Hollow, Glorietta, and the hillside areas near the Orinda Country Club, pools often sit under significant shade from mature oaks and bay trees; which reduces evaporation, changes how chemistry behaves week to week, and creates conditions where algae can establish quietly if chemistry slips. Older pools built in the 1960s and 1970s, common throughout Orinda’s established neighborhoods, also have their own maintenance considerations that require genuine familiarity with the equipment.
Summit Pool & Spa brings that familiarity to every property we service. We’ve seen what can happen when a pool that looks clean on the surface isn’t actually chemically balanced, and we make sure that’s never the case for our customers. Every visit includes a thorough water test, chemistry adjustment, and a same-day photo report so you always know exactly what’s going on with your pool.

When we first hired Summit we thought our pool was just fine but looks can be deceiving. Even though the water looked fine Brad tested it and found the chemical balance to be at an unhealthy level for us and the kids to be swimming in. So thankful that we switched to Summit and now have a clean and healthy pool.
They are on time each week and conduct a thorough pool service including water test, chemical balance, wall and tile brush, leaf cleanup, and vacuum. When completed, I get an immediate email report. The service technician is courteous and respectful of the surrounding landscape.
Yes, and this is one of the most important things we tell new customers. Water can appear perfectly clear while being chemically out of balance in ways that are unsafe for swimming and damaging to your pool’s surfaces and equipment. We test chemistry at every visit and adjust based on actual readings, not appearance.
