Lucky Duck Pools is as much a Seekonk storefront as a pool crew — people walk in for supplies and advice, and the company says it also designs, installs, repairs and maintains in-ground and above-ground pools for homes and businesses across Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It describes itself as family-owned; the Better Business Bureau names Anthony Delmonico as owner, and the testimonials on the company's own site refer to new management, with Steve assisting. Its Better Business Bureau page carries an A grade and lists two Massachusetts licence numbers for the business. Six reviews carry the whole written history, and they split cleanly: Angi shows 3.7 stars from six, four at five stars and two at one, nothing in between. The five-star ones are mostly counter visits — a March 2026 reviewer who started using the store the previous spring named Anthony and Steve and said they would not shop elsewhere for pool supplies and service, and two others writing the same month described getting the help and information they came in for. A March 2025 review covers the heavier end of the work: an in-ground pool installed and painted. Both one-star reviews are from March 2026 and both are specific. One customer alleged a bait-and-switch on a plunge-pool quote — an initial price below the other bids they had gathered, then two weeks of promises before the final quote arrived. The other, who had used the company for openings and closings, said that after a closing the water drained out under the cover until only about six inches remained, and that the pool had never had a leaking problem before that service. One gap is worth raising directly: Angi's profile advertises 11 years of experience, while the Better Business Bureau records two years in business for the LLC behind the name, and the one older endorsement — a 2023 Reddit post naming John as the man who put in the poster's pool — comes from before the current owner. For pool supplies, water testing and routine openings and closings, this is a small local operation where customers deal with the owner directly. For a new pool, or any quote you plan to budget around, get the final written figure and a date for it before committing — that is where the sharpest complaint started.
“If you decide to go ahead, I recommend John at Lucky Duck pools in Seekonk. He put in my pool.”
Started using Lucky Duck last spring. Owner Anthony and manager Steve always have provided top notch service. I would not go anywhere else for my pool supplies and service.
I’ve used this company for both opening and closing my above-ground pool, but after this year’s closing I discovered a major issue: the water started draining out under the cover until only about six inches remain. My pool has never had a leaking problem until after they serviced it. I reached out to the owner hoping to resolve the situation, but instead of listening to my concerns, he told me to refill the entire pool “to see if it drains again.” I explained that I didn’t want to waste money refilling thousands of gallons of water just to watch it leak out, and his response was, “it doesn’t cost that much. You live in Barrington, not East Providence,” implying that I should just be able to afford the cost. It was condescending, rude, and completely unprofessional. I also explained, as a business owner in the trades myself, that I understand callbacks can be frustrating, but we just needed help resolving the problem. Instead of working with us, he told me he would charge a service fee—despite the fact that the issue only began after they closed the pool. The owner took zero accountability and dismissed everything I said. The lack of customer service, respect, and responsibility is extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable or professional pool services.
DO NOT use this company! Anthony came to our house to provide a quote for a plunge pool. He gave us initial quote that was under previous quotes we received from other companies. We finally received the final quote after 2 weeks of false promises of sending it. It was significantly higher although we did not add any extras and actually requested a simpler model. It was obvious to us he underbid the pool initially and tried the bait and switch. I had a weird feeling about him during our first meeting and I should have backed out then. I would never recommend using them. Response: I read the response and was floored. That’s an absolute lie to try to save face. We actually chose a lesser model. Also the fact the Anthony continually said he was going to send the quote and blew us off. We signed up with another company that was way more knowledgeable and professional.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Anthony and got the help and information I was looking for. Highly recommend their services!
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful!! We will definitely be back! Worth the trip.
