Matley Swimming Pools

Fifty-six years selling and building pools in one town is the headline on Matley Swimming Pools & Spas: the BBB lists the Pepperell, Massachusetts company as an accredited pool contractor with an A+ grade. The work runs the full width of the trade — inground and above-ground pools, hot tubs, pool and spa supplies, and the installation, maintenance, design, plumbing and heating that go with them. The company's own site puts inground pools at the center of what it builds. BBB also lists four licence numbers for the business, among them 11018-PL-M and 8461-SM-M1; look those up on the Massachusetts registers before you sign anything. If you want a pool built or kept running by a long-established local shop, Matley is a reasonable place to start — ask for a written scope that spells out the plumbing and heating portions, and for addresses of pools they built in the last few seasons.
