The company operates over 300 locations worldwide with more than 3,400 employees through three networks: SCP Distributors LLC, Superior Pool Products LLC, and Horizon Distributors Inc.

Gulf Steam makes value-driven pool heat pump, locally manufactured in Ft. Myers. They make a great product at a great price.
Located near downtown Sarasota, we rely on Print My T’s for all our company branded shirts. They do all their work in-house and we have never had a problem with quality, price or service. They are great!
Built Right manufactures excellent heat pumps in Punta Gorda. Their prices, quality and service are fantastic. They even offer one of the strongest warranties in the industry with 5 years parts and labor. That shows they believe in their product. And because they are so local, response time to an issue is rapid – the one time I had a problem with a delivered heater, they replaced it the SAME day with a brand new unit!
Pool leak detection is a real specialty. We can sometimes find small cracks/leaks around skimmers but when it comes to finding the source underwater, we always depend on Aqua Leak Detection. They are the best and they stand by their work. If your pool is leaking, they will find it – and repair it.
R.E Johnson is a dependable, affordable and talented electrical contractor. When we have needs for electrical work, outside our license, we call R.E Johnson.
Signs in One Day is located on Bee Ridge Rd. in Sarasota and has always been our source for truck signage. They even supplied me with the sign magnets I put on my first truck (an old white Dodge) back in 2004. We have been using them since and have never been disappointed.
Their name says it all. This company offers 1st class pressure washing and roof cleaning. One of their specialties is a chlorine-free roof ‘shampoo’ which delivers exceptional results without any harmful chemicals. A great team and a great company.
SCORE is a excellent organization. It has 300 chapters across the U.S. and offers FREE mentoring for small businesses. I used them as a resource when I started OTPS and they were of great assistance. Most mentors are retired industry executives looking to give back/contribute to the community. Interestingly, the Mannasota chapter of SCORE is one of the top chapters in the country, not only due to its leadership but also due to the great ‘retired’ industry leaders who now call Sarasota/Manatee their home. Don’t pass up this wonderful resource if you need local assistance with your company – or if you have a talent to share with others.
I love this company’s name. Again, it says it all…Urine Good Hands – ha ha, that’s classic. We use them to screen our new employees to insure there are no “surprises” or hidden drug use issues. Just one of the steps we use to help guarantee we are hiring the best people for our firm.
Deborah is a superb local agent backed by a great national company. Always willing to ‘Go the extra mile’ to provide a fantastic service.
