Jason Smith made his mark on Atlanta when he co-founded Mr. Mister Mosquito Control in 2012, which grew into a successful enterprise that Smith later sold. Now, he has his sights set another home services market – pool cleaning.
“Prior to 2012, I had always been in business-to-business sales. When I started working with homeowners, it was like a whole new world opened for me,” he said. “I am extremely empathetic, so making people happy at their home is what ultimately makes me happy.”
Smith continued about why he decided to “dip his toes” into pool cleaning services.
“This wasn’t a rash decision. I’ve been a pool owner for over a decade and have struggled with every pool cleaner I’ve hired. All were poor communicators, drove in unmarked vehicles, and the employees didn’t wear uniforms. The cleaners who would spend five to 10 minutes at my pool never vacuum or brush tiles, and rush off to the next appointment. Plus, if I didn’t actually see them at my house, I would never have known if they came to ‘clean.’”
Smith spent the last two years interviewing pool cleaning business owners looking for an investment opportunity, but nobody matched the level of service he knew the right company needed to provide. Smith then found himself on the Facebook group, Jewish Dads of Atlanta, and saw one of his friends had posted about an incredible pool company. And that’s what led Smith to Jason Prescott and Pristine Pools.
“From the first meeting I knew it was a great fit. Jason and Pristine Pools checked all the boxes I was looking for — most importantly, the standards for a complete clean, a desire to treat people the right way and the technical knowledge and expertise to be a true partner for the client,” Smith said. “Jason, who also grew up Jewish in Atlanta and was a bar mitzvah at Temple Beth Tikvah, shared in my vision for growing the business into the best pool cleaning company in Atlanta. We joined forces in 2025 and have already doubled the size of the business.”
Smith said he and Prescott are looking forward to “making a splash” in the community with plans to partner with local non-profits and launch a pilot program to explore employment opportunities for adults with special needs. Smith is a recipient of the Atlanta Jewish Times 40 Under 40 Award, is a member of LEAD Class of 2025, Sandy Springs Leadership Class of 2019, and sits on the Board of Directors for Billi Marcus Foundation and Jacob’s Ladder.
