Better Care. Better Service. A Better Pool.
A Better Pool Service is proudly family-owned and operated by Clayton Williams and his wife, Melissa Williams, built on the values customers truly desire—quality over quantity, consistency over shortcuts, and clear communication you can trust.
Our story began long before Clayton officially purchased the business. A Better Pool Service was originally founded in 2006, and Clayton joined the team early on, working side-by-side with the original owner to help operate and grow the company. Through years of dedication, hard work, and proven leadership, Clayton became the right-hand man—earning trust from day one. When the previous owner was ready to pursue a new endeavor, he knew exactly who to pass the torch to and Clayton took over the operations in October 2016.
After taking ownership, Clayton did what he does best—he built a team he trusted. He brought in close friends and family who shared the same work ethic and commitment to doing things the right way.
Brenda Williams, Clayton’s mom, stepped in to manage day-to-day office operations, and improved customer relationships ensuring they always receive prompt, clear, and friendly support.
Ricky Timmons, Clayton’s lifelong best friend, became our Lead Repair Technician. From “preschool to pool school”, Clayton and Ricky have truly grown up in the pool industry together, and today they are two of the most tenured and knowledgeable pool repair professionals in all of North Dallas.
Shelley Timmons, Ricky’s mom, supports the business by adding another layer of customer service — maintaining the customers filter clean schedules, building quotes for equipment needs and repairs to ensure the pools are running smoothly—adding yet another trusted family connection to the team.
Later, Clayton brought in his neighbor and friend Chris Sharrett to help oversee service technicians and field operations, strengthening consistency and accountability across routes using his previous management history with Walmart to support the team and continue to improve operations overall.
Finally, Clayton’s wife Melissa Williams joined the business in 2025 to oversee all operations and strategic growth plans.
Melissa brings over 16 years of experience helping grow Topgolf from 3 US locations to a Global brand, with leadership and experience across sales, operations, product development and deployment, process optimization, logistics management, project management, business planning, and strategic execution. Her background allows A Better Pool Service to operate with a new and improved structures, systems, and forward-thinking strategy of a much larger organization—while still delivering the personal care of a family business.
Today, as we enter our 20th year of service, A Better Pool Service is thriving. We’re not focused on being the biggest pool company—we’re focused on being the best pool company. That means familiar, friendly faces you can trust, reliable and consistent service, and honest communication from the field to the office.
When you choose A Better Pool Service, you’re choosing a team that treats your pool like it’s their own—and customers like family.
Better Care. Better Service. A Better Pool.
