## The honest read

ACR Pools is an above-ground pool installation and service business based in Pembroke, New Hampshire, owner-operated by Keith Gelinas. The company installs new above-ground pools, replaces liners, removes existing pools, and handles seasonal openings and closings.

Google rates the business 5 stars from 13 ratings, and every review on file — eleven reviews spanning 2023 through mid-2026 — is a five-star account. Recent reviews from mid-2026 describe an install completed on a hot day despite several on-site challenges, with the crew staying professional and Keith remaining available to answer questions afterward, and another reviewer calling the install perfect with completely fair pricing. In 2024 reviews, several homeowners praised fast, often same-day, pool water delivery — including one customer with a narrow driveway in Hooksett who couldn't get a large tanker truck in, and another who needed water delivered within two hours after a last-minute decision to buy a pool. A 2025 review described a pool that had sat unopened for four years being fixed, cleaned, and filled in a single visit.

The evidence on file doesn't include any negative reviews, licensing records, or BBB history to weigh against this track record, so the read here rests entirely on a small but consistently positive set of Google reviews. Homeowners considering a larger or more complex project should confirm current availability and lead times directly, since the reviews describe quick turnarounds during the periods covered but don't establish year-round capacity.

ACR Pools looks like a solid, straightforward choice for above-ground pool installation, liner replacement, or seasonal opening and closing service in the Pembroke, NH area, particularly for homeowners who value fast turnaround and direct communication with the owner.

**Strengths:**
- Above-ground pool installs — reviewers call the crew fast, professional, and fairly priced
- Responsive owner — Keith follows up personally and answers questions after the job
- Rapid water delivery — several reviews cite same-day or near-same-day pool fills
- Handles tough situations — restored a pool left unopened for four years in one visit
