# Environmental Pools, Inc. **Trade:** Pool Cleaning · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.0/5** (medium confidence) — from 13 reviews across 5 sources. 92% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Environmental Pools, Inc. is a Massachusetts gunite pool design-build firm run by owner Andy (Andrew) Everleigh, self-reporting about 38 years in business, offering custom pool design, construction, renovation, and pool/spa maintenance. A long written record from 2016 through 2019 is overwhelmingly positive: homeowners and, notably, a landscape design-build firm that repeatedly subcontracts pool work to them describe Andy's team as professional, detail-oriented, and communicative from design through installation, on projects ranging from custom in-ground gunite pools to complex new-construction builds. A more recent, detailed 2022 review tells a different story about aftercare: it describes calcium buildup and cracking developing on a pool installed roughly four years earlier, and says the owner's response to the warranty concern was dismissive. Worth asking directly about warranty terms and how post-install issues are handled before signing a contract. The business holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license and carries an A+ BBB rating. **Strengths:** - Design-build craftsmanship — years of reviews cite detailed, professional gunite pool builds - Repeat trade partners — a landscape-design firm reports using them on numerous projects **Concerns:** - Post-install durability — a 2022 review reports calcium buildup and cracking years after install - Warranty response — that reviewer described the owner's reply as dismissive **Where sources disagree:** - BuildZoom lists the business address as 357 Main Street, Bolton, MA, while BBB and HomeAdvisor/Angi list 184(R) Riverneck Rd, Chelmsford, MA — sources disagree on the current business address. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts-based gunite pool builder self-reporting about 38 years in business, led by owner Andy (Andrew) Everleigh, offering pool design, construction, renovation and maintenance. _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/chelmsford/profile/pool-contractors/environmental-pools-inc-0021-58802) — “BBB profile for Environmental Pools, Inc., 184 Riverneck Rd, Chelmsford, MA: A+ letter grade, NOT BBB accredited, 38 years in business (sinc…” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/sp/environmental-pools) — “HomeAdvisor/Angi profile at 184R Riverneck Rd., Chelmsford, MA 01824: 38 years of experience, Member Builder of the Aquatech Society, offers…” - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/environmental-pools-inc-ma) — “Genuine BuildZoom profile for Environmental Pools Inc at 357 Main Street, Bolton, MA 01740, owned by Andrew Everleigh, phone (978) 256-0200 …” - A long, largely five-star track record from 2016 to 2019 repeatedly praises owner Andy Everleigh's team for professional, detail-oriented gunite pool design-build work, including from a repeat landscape-design trade partner. _(confidence: high)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/swimming-pool-builders/environmental-pools-inc-pfvwus-pf~1325580464) — “5★ Andrew and his team did a great job with our backyard oasis.
