# Clearwater Custom Pools and Services Inc. **Trade:** Pool Cleaning · **Address:** 41 Sisson Rd, Harwich Port, MA 02646 · **Phone:** (508) 241-8078 · **Website:** https://www.clearwatercustompool.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.6/5** (medium confidence) — from 13 reviews across 3 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Ask around about Clearwater Custom Pools and the same detail keeps coming up: Rod picks up the phone. Based at 41 Sisson Rd in Harwich Port, the company builds gunite and vinyl-liner pools across Cape Cod and handles the liner swaps, motor repairs, and seasonal openings and closings that keep an existing pool running. The company says it was founded in 2023 by Rodrigo ("Rod"), who brings more than six years of experience working for other pool companies before starting his own shop, and says he has built 400-plus pools over that career. On Google, all 13 ratings on file are five stars, running from January 2025 into July 2026, and the reviews read less like boilerplate and more like a pattern: people call during the busiest weeks of the season expecting the usual runaround and instead get a callback. One customer in May 2025 said the longest they ever waited for Rod to call back was about two minutes. Another, writing in July 2026, said he stayed responsive even though they were a brand-new customer calling in during peak season, when other companies weren't returning calls at all. The work gets specific praise too — a custom saltwater gunite pool finished ahead of schedule and on budget, a gunite pool and travertine deck project one longtime remodeling client called among the strongest of the many contractors they'd hired, and several liner replacements, including one paired with a new Hayward pool motor, completed as promised. One thing worth asking about directly: a January 2025 review says the writer had been a Clearwater customer for almost three and a half years at that point, which would put the start of that relationship around 2021 — about two years before the company's own site says it was established. That may simply reflect Rod doing pool work before formally incorporating the current company, but the two accounts of when it started don't line up on their own. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC #207874) is active. Beyond that, this reads as a small, owner-operated shop — Rod and a crew, not a large operation — so it fits a homeowner who wants direct contact with the person actually building or servicing the pool. Worth confirming lead times before booking a summer project, since the reviews suggest the calendar fills up fast this time of year. **Strengths:** - Fast response times — reviewers cite callbacks in minutes, not days - Custom gunite builds — praised for on-time, on-budget pool construction - Liner replacement work — repeated praise for careful, professional installs - Owner involvement — Rodrigo personally answers calls and visits sites - Active state license — Massachusetts HIC registration verified current **Concerns:** - Company history unclear — a 2025 review implies work predating the stated 2023 founding **Where sources disagree:** - The website states Clearwater was established in 2023, but a January 2025 Google review says the customer began using the company's services almost 3.5 years earlier (around mid-2021) — the two accounts of when the business started don't align. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration (HIC #207874) is verified active, held by Clearwater Custom Pools & Services Inc _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 207874 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: Clearwater Custom Pools & Services Inc” - Reviewers repeatedly single out fast, personal responsiveness from the owner, including during peak season _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xWWlp6SmxPRk5FZGsxMFVGSk5PSEp3WldaRFExRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xbe47c45959bc617d!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlVZZzJlOFNEdk10UFJNOHJwZWZDQ1E%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Rodrigo and his team did an excellent job upgrading our pool with a new liner and hardware.
