Patriot Pools

Patriot Pools and Construction, based in Marshfield, builds in-ground pools — BuildZoom's permit records show 12 in-ground swimming pool projects across Marshfield and Hingham between 2012 and 2019. Owners Eric Steuernagle and Mark Shields run the shop, with Mark the name that shows up across the reviews. In a 2021 review, a Scituate homeowner described a saltwater in-ground pool Mark's crew installed "from start to finish" — good enough that a building inspector reportedly asked to use photos of the pool and patio as an example for other jobs, and the owner still called it gorgeous and solid two summers later. A 2023 review credits the crew with a pool-light upgrade that transformed the backyard. Earlier accounts, from 2017 and 2015, describe Mark as professional, dependable and fairly priced, with one calling the finished pool great. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#195366) is now expired per the state registry, and BuildZoom separately lists a second MA registration (#163634) as inactive — worth confirming current licensing status directly before signing anything. A solid option for someone shopping specifically for an in-ground or saltwater pool build in the Marshfield/Scituate area, though it's worth checking current registration and availability directly given the shop's size and the registry status above.
