Andrew Spear, owner

Experience competitors can’t replicate overnight.

The Pool-Doctor of Erie is locally owned and operated by Andrew Spear. Andrew has renovated and operated commercial pools since 1983, working with local and state authorities, and has served Northwest Pennsylvania’s residential pool owners since 1996.

His engineering background gives the company an edge: identifying and selecting the best-suited equipment for every job, installing it properly, and diagnosing and repairing any type of equipment in the industry. Every technician attends annual training on the latest equipment and installation techniques.

A Cathedral Prep and Penn State Behrend alum and former Villa boys’ basketball coach, Andrew runs the crew the way he coached: work harder, achieve your goals.

Our promise: clear answers, honest repair-versus-replace guidance and communication you can count on. That is what “Expect the Best” means.
