The team behind Pool Guard Insurance

We are a specialty agency that writes one trade — commercial pool service and construction contractors — under the Wexford Insurance, LLC umbrella. This page is who we are and why we built it.

Why Pool Guard Insurance exists

Pool Guard Insurance is a specialty brand of Wexford Insurance, LLC, built for the people who build and service commercial pools. We are not a general agency that happens to write a pool account now and then — we write the pool-contractor trade specifically, and we place it with carriers that actually want the class.

The insight the brand is built on is simple: a pool service company and a pool construction company look almost nothing alike to an underwriter. One runs recurring routes, handles chemicals, and lives in its trucks; the other digs open excavations, runs heavy equipment, and carries a long completed-operations tail. A policy rated to a generic “contractor” misprices one and leaves the other exposed. We separate the two and rate each to the work it actually does — and we know the exposures most generic forms ignore, like the hydrostatic pool pop-up that surfaces during a drain-down. That focus is the whole point of Pool Guard Insurance.

We are licensed across 48 states and place coverage through a 30-carrier specialty panel. Whether you want to talk through a renewal, a new venture, or a contract that just landed on your desk with insurance requirements you do not recognize, that is a conversation we have every day.
