## The honest read

Island Pools & Spas builds gunite pools on Martha's Vineyard, and the island is the whole of it — the company says it designs, builds, services, maintains and upgrades custom pools and spas exclusively there, rather than working across the Cape. BBB places it in Edgartown as a swimming pool and spa contractor selling and installing gunite pools for residential and commercial customers, established in 1977 and not BBB accredited. Its own site self-reports 30 years in business, describes the company as island-owned and operated, and says it operates under the Easton Select Group network.

On credentials, the company says its staff include Pool & Hot Tub Alliance certified professionals — its own claim, not something confirmed against a registry.

One thing to raise before signing anything: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 177558, is expired in the state registry. Pool construction is not one of the trades Massachusetts exempts from registration, so ask directly where that stands and what it means for a residential contract, and confirm current insurance while you're at it.

The public record beyond that is thin — Google shows a 5★ average from two ratings. For a Vineyard homeowner who wants a gunite build or an existing pool serviced by a crew already on the island, this is a reasonable call to make; ask for recent local references and pin down the registration question first.

**Strengths:**
- Gunite pool builds — BBB lists pool sales and installation as its trade
- Vineyard-only focus — builds and services pools solely on the island
- Long history — BBB lists the company as established in 1977
- PHTA credentials — the company says its professionals are PHTA certified

**Concerns:**
- Expired state registration — home improvement registration 177558 is registry-verified expired
- Short public record — Google shows only two ratings

**Where sources disagree:**
- BBB lists the company as established in 1977, while its own site self-reports 30 years in business.
