J. Gallant Pool & Spa Inc

J. Gallant Pool & Spa is a Newbury, Massachusetts pool company whose own site describes it as family-owned since 1975, doing in-ground pool installation, renovation, water analysis and equipment sales out of a retail storefront, with CPO- and APSP-certified technicians. Its BBB record lists Jay Gallant as owner and shows an A+ rating, though the business is not accredited. There's a wrinkle in the ownership story worth flagging: 2021 industry press (later syndicated on the National Law Review and Aqua Magazine sites) reported that Easton Select Group had acquired J. Gallant Pool as part of expanding its presence on Boston's North Shore. The company's own website, read as recently as this year, still describes itself as family owned and operated, and BBB records still name Jay Gallant as the principal — so it isn't clear from the public record whether that acquisition changed day-to-day operation, or whether the business has continued under its original family leadership regardless. Its written review history is thin — just three reviews, all five stars, from 2023 and 2024 — but specific. One customer described a 23-year relationship with the company, going back to when Jay himself installed their pool, and said a recent vinyl liner replacement was completed exactly as promised. Another described the staff as knowledgeable, polite, and notably not pushy about sales, guiding a newer pool owner through routine maintenance questions. Given how thin the review record is and the open question about ownership, it's worth asking directly who currently owns and runs the business before committing to a larger installation or renovation project.
