CARP, ONTARIO, October 15, 2026 — GBI Pool Services Inc. is celebrating a major milestone after being named to the 2026 Pool & Spa News (PSN) & Jandy Top 50 Service list, recognizing leading pool and spa service companies across North America.In its very first year participating, GBI earned a place among the industry’s Top 50 service operations, ranking No. 32. GBI is also one of only three Canadian companies recognized and the only pool service company from Eastern Ontario to make the 2026 list, with the other Canadian honourees based in Quebec and the Greater Toronto Area.
For the Carp-based company, this recognition is not only a significant business achievement but also a proud moment for Ottawa’s pool service industry, placing a locally grown business alongside some of North America’s most established pool service operations.
Industry Recognition That Carries Special Meaning
The annual PSN & Jandy Top 50 Service program recognizes pool and spa service companies for excellence across several areas, including business performance, staff training, management practices, industry involvement and community engagement.
What makes this recognition particularly meaningful is that it comes from within the pool and spa industry itself — a professional community that understands the expertise, dedication and commitment required to consistently deliver exceptional service.
For GBI, being acknowledged through a respected industry program reinforces the company’s commitment to maintaining high professional standards and continually investing in its people.
The 2026 Top 50 companies collectively generated $544.8 million in service revenue in 2025 and managed more than 194,000 residential and commercial accounts. Earning a place among these companies in its first year participating makes GBI’s achievement especially noteworthy.
A Proud Moment for GBI, Ottawa and Eastern Ontario
As the only Eastern Ontario pool service company recognized on the 2026 list, GBI’s achievement highlights the strength and professionalism of a locally owned business competing on a North American stage.
While the other two Canadian companies recognized are based in Quebec and the Greater Toronto Area, GBI is proud to represent Ottawa and the surrounding region.
The recognition demonstrates that exceptional service, technical expertise and industry leadership are not limited to large organizations or major markets. They can also be found in locally grown businesses built on strong customer relationships and a dedicated team.
A Recognition That Belongs to the Entire GBI Team
“Earning a place in the Top 50 in our first year is a tremendous honour,” said Garrett Incze, President and Co-Owner of GBI Pool Services. “Recognition from within our own industry makes it especially meaningful. We’re proud to represent Eastern Ontario and grateful to everyone on the team and our customers who made this possible.”
Behind this achievement is a team of pool service professionals committed to delivering dependable, knowledgeable and personalized service.
GBI’s senior technicians hold Certified Pool Operator (CPO) credentials, and ongoing professional development remains a priority across the organization.
Jordan Battram, Vice-President and Co-Owner, has been with the company since 2014 and holds both Certified Pool Operator (CPO) and Certified Pool Inspector (CPI) certifications.
“Every pool we service belongs to a family that’s counting on us, and that’s what drives our team every day,” said Jordan Battram, Vice-President and Co-Owner of GBI Pool Services. “Exceptional customer service isn’t one big gesture. It’s showing up on time, doing the job right the first time and treating every backyard like our own.”
Another Milestone in an Exceptional Year
The PSN & Jandy Top 50 Service recognition adds to an exciting year of achievements for GBI Pool Services.
Earlier in 2026, Garrett Incze was named to the Ottawa Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 list, recognizing his leadership, entrepreneurial accomplishments and contributions to the local business community.
GBI was also named a finalist in AQUA Magazine’s 2026 Truck & Van Contest, highlighting the company’s professional fleet and commitment to its brand.
