Coastal Pool Services

Coastal Pool Services is a small, owner-run pool company based on Massachusetts's North Shore — its president, Zak Albrinck, started the business in 2012 and incorporated it a few years later, and the reviews consistently describe working with Zak directly rather than a rotating crew. The written record is short but detailed. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described Zak inspecting a pool before they bought their house, then handling multiple equipment changes and ongoing maintenance since — with visitors commenting on how clear the water stays, and Zak available by phone for advice. Another 2023 review described the crew catching problems the owner hadn't even noticed, like small cracks and filter issues, while leaving the pool spotless. A separate customer, in a 2023 review, said Coastal opens the pool each spring and they don't think about it again until the following season — "would never use anyone else." There's nothing negative in the record: no complaints on file, and Google shows a 4.4★ average from 7 ratings. For a North Shore homeowner who wants an owner they deal with directly for seasonal opening, maintenance, and equipment work — including a pre-purchase pool check before buying a house — this looks like a solid, if lightly reviewed, option.
