Bestick Pool Services

Bestick Pool Service has operated in Cohasset since 1957, founded by Earle Bestick as a sole proprietorship, and reviews describe new management taking over in 2016; permit records now list the business as Blue Horizon Pool Service LLC, doing business as Bestick Pool & Patio. Its BBB file carries an A+ grade. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#186089) is registry-verified expired, last active around May 2023. Reviewers under the newer management, in a 2025 review, described old-school customer service and an owner who works hard to get pools serviced around holidays and events, at prices called reasonable next to bigger companies; other 2025 reviews called the pool openings, closings and general help excellent and praised responsiveness as a new customer. The one clear miss on record is a 2023 review: a homeowner described weeks of calling, getting a callback only once, and then never hearing back despite calling at least twice a week before hiring someone else. Two earlier 2023 reviews were positive, one calling the staff knowledgeable and not pushy about upselling, the other praising a helpful conversation with the owner's wife. The oldest accounts on file, from 2007 and 2010, describe a repair job — new coping, tile and replastering — that left the pool "looking like new" and simply called the service great. The written record here is thin and spread across nearly two decades; for anything beyond routine service, it's worth asking directly about the license lapse and getting a firm callback commitment in writing.
