A packed house looked on in New Orleans as this year's PSN Jandy Top 50 Service companies were recognized.

For the first time, PSN held an awards ceremony for the winning service firms at the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo. David Hawes, president of the Independent Pool & Spa Service Association, helped present the honors.

This marked the second year for the Top 50 Service program. In applying for the list, service companies provide extensive information about their firms and are considered based on the five pillars of judging - revenue, staff management, industry involvement, web presence and community service.
