Recent Pool Cleaning Reviews in Boston
- Pools Patios Decks and more...Josh did an amazing job on the installation of my pool. This pool has great sentimental value to me as it was moved from my parents home to mine. Although the pool was 30 years old, as Josh would attest , it will last another 30 or more years. He took great care in its installation and even though he had to reschedule his visits with his crew on a few occasions due to scheduling conflicts and no one home when they should have been, sorry Josh ☺️, he never once commented or made any complaints. This is a true professional. In addition, he waited for new part delivers to arrive and rescheduled further visits. These were needed parts that the initial person I hired failed to tell me I needed and made a mess for me and unfortunately for Josh. Nevertheless, Josh examined what was present and what was needed and even told me where I could purchase them reasonably, as the pool is no longer made. Due to timing restrictions and the coming of winter Josh came back, closed up the pool and has scheduled a return in spring to re-open, clean and get the pool ready to use. I cannot help but reiterate what a true professional this man is. I would recommend him any day of the week and twice on Sunday! The even better news is Josh is multitalented and I have many a project that I will not hesitate to call him to complete. Best contractor I have found by far
- Horizon Pool & PatioThe service and advice were exceptional. I recommend this company as we are thrilled with the job they did.
- E-Z Test Pool Supplies IncI had a phenomenal experience! Pat, the owner, worked very closely with me, and always available to answer questions, and keep me updated on the project. I can not say enough about the crew, especially Rick, and "other Rick". They were prompt, professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and sooo patient with my million questions! They completed my project during the heat wave- never heard a single complaint! I would highly recommen
- AquaCal AutoPilot IncThe technician Jeff C. was great! He called and let me know his ETA. He arrived promptly. He explained everything he did and had the needed part in his truck. Within 15 minutes, he had diagnosed the issue, replaced the part and had run through all the testing of the replaced part. He doubled checked the water temperature coming out of the pool and the returning heated water to verify it was working correctly. He was pleasant and conscientious. I would recommend Aquacal for pool heater issues and technician Jeff C. as a premier service representative for Aquacal
- Holmes PoolsNice family owned pool business. Hired them to replace our inground pool liner, pump, filter and add a heat pump. They are quite busy so it took a month and a half or so to get on their calendar, but they are worth the wait. They are very easy to work with, the staff is all friendly, and we love how our pool looks
- tom gaudetWe had to have our above ground pool liner replaced due to a leak. Contacted Tom less than a month ago to set up an appt. He informed me that he was extremely busy but would do what he could to fit me in. I wasn’t expecting him to be able to be out so quick but reached out a few days ago to say he could do the install today. They showed up when he said they would, and did an awesome job patching the steel wall and replacing the liner. They were very professional, explained what they were doing, and took the time to explain everything we needed to do to get the pool opened up. I would recommend them for any pool install or repair
- Pools Patios Decks and more...Excellent worker, showed up early. Performed work agreed upon. Fast worker, tells you what he is going to be doing. Did great job removing old pool liner and replacing with new liner.
- RC Homes LLCExcellent. Dedication and knowledge of all property management responsibilities is exemplary. Very reliable.
- Above Ground Pool BuilderI hired this guy to install a 15x30 oval pool where I had previously had one. He says about 2nd week of June, 2022. A month later and 97 excuses later he shows up, July 19th, 2022. He begins putting up my pool and lunch rolled around, they left for lunch and never returned. Emails me later that night with some lame excuse and says will be back in am. They came back, minus a few guys and put my pool up. Upon inspection, I realize both long walls are crooked. He said they'll straighten out when pool settles...lmao...REALLY?!?! then after filling with water I noticed you could see all the cross straps and pressure plates and there was no cove. Then while putting on a hose to filter, I noticed that the bottom of the pool wasn't even in the track, I checked the whole pool, 8 spots out of track. I have been emailing him since last July, he has told me several times he will be out to fix. Its now May 2023, his emails are now rejecting back to me as failed. I'm taking this guy to court. If your smart, you'll stay far away from this guy, he's a used car salesman for sure. Save your money and aggrivation
- Custom Pools IncCustom pools installed my pool close to 6 yrs ago. It took over a year to complete. Over the 5+ years, the spa pump and filter pump both failed and had to be replaced. More upsetting, the coping grout at the corners was not elastomeric, and major separation and cracking of grout occurred over the few years that I've had the pool. Multiple cracks emerged in just about every coping joint. Every day I would see grout at the bottom of the pool. Tiles cracked. Pool was always winterized as recommended, with the freeze line well below orifices. I am now having the coping and tiles re-set like they should have been. Stay away from Custom Pools

"It went great. We were in good hands with the Ranieri family throughout the entire project. They are extremely reliable, diligent about keeping us informed about the process, and deeply knowledgeable about concrete deck installation and pool installation and care. Our 30+ year old 20x40 inground pool had crumbling old pavers around it and the pool plumbing needed replacing before we could put a deck in. The Ranieris were a one-stop-shop for this work. They replaced the plumbing, installed a new skimmer box, and poured a gorgeous curved edged 10' patio on one side and 4' deck around the rest of the pool. They are excellent communicators, keeping us informed all throughout the process and coordinated directly with our electrician to get the new ground wire installed and permitted before they poured. No hiccups at all with this process. This work happened this spring 2022, so there were supply and delivery issues with concrete that are outside of the contractor's control. From our perspective, the wait wasn't too bad, and the Ranieris kept us informed every step of the way. Their work is both art and science. We love what they built for us. We would hire the Ranieris for any future projects, and we highly recommend them.
