AQRS Contractors

Ask about pools and you get one answer; ask about the last five years and you get another. AQRS Contractors works out of Haverhill, where its BBB page — accredited since March 2026, graded A+ — describes a four-person sole proprietorship in business since February 2023, handling lawn irrigation, basement waterproofing, pool service, and home water and air filtration. The recent work people talk about is pools. On Thumbtack, where the page shows 4.3 across six ratings and 13 hires, one customer this June described a pump that seized over the winter, calls to two other outfits that went to voicemail, and a new pump and motor installed within days of reaching Christine. Another in May had the full package replaced — pump, filter, heater, liner — and credited Joe for walking through the equipment choices. A third called the crew fast, efficient, and knowledgeable. Not everything lands. The same page carries an April complaint from a homeowner who got a knowledgeable estimator at the house and then no estimate at all, through two unanswered follow-up emails. The older history on Angi and HomeAdvisor runs rougher than the recent Thumbtack stretch: those pages sit at 0.5 from a single review and 3.6 from seven, with complaints about projects that stalled and communication that dried up. There is also a real puzzle in the paper trail worth clearing up on the call. The Haverhill listings describe three years in business; the Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles carry a Billerica address at 406 Boston Rd, claim 25 and 37 years of experience, and the HomeAdvisor page is a renamed Water Craft Pools and Spas listing. Same name on the page, different business facts underneath. AQRS is a sensible call for pool service and equipment swaps — the recent, specific praise is all about that work getting done quickly and explained clearly. Before committing to anything larger, get the estimate in writing with a date attached, ask who pulls the permit, and ask directly whether the Billerica listings belong to them.
