A recent Google customer bought a house with a large in-ground pool that had been neglected, and said the team at Periscope Pools "brought it back to life." A customer with algae in the deep end got advice at the counter, used it that morning and said they already saw a difference. The Better Business Bureau lists Periscope Pools as accredited with an A+ grade, and its listing there says the company offers swimming pool contracting, dealing, design, service and repair. Its Google listing shows 4.4 stars from 71 ratings. On its website, the company says it will never push chemicals on customers that they don't need. A 2022 customer who needed a liner replacement said it was installed two weeks after the order, and that the owner was the one installing. A 2023 customer wrote "Inground pool liner" and said the company showed up on time and stayed with the quote. A 2022 customer said the staff tested their pool water, showed them the results and explained what chemicals were needed. In a 2021 review, a customer said Gary and Randy opened and closed their pool. A 2023 customer said Brad made setting up their first pool painless. A 2025 customer who had to cancel a pool order said Brad and the team took care of everything with care and respect. A 2024 customer called the labor costs exorbitant: the quote included $350 for labor, and the work took less than an hour. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 126190, is expired on the state registry.
“Does anyone remember the old Periscope Pools commercial?”
“Does anyone know where the Periscope Pools commercial jingle is available anywhere?”
Had an algae problem. The guy at the counter gave some great advice to stop the algae in my deep end. I was going to wait till tonight but the sun wasn't really shining on my pool yet so I used it this morning. I already see a difference. I'll never buy that walmar* crap again. My new go to pool store if I want great brand shock and chlorine. I'll def be back when I want more. I can literally see this stuff attacking the algae residue in the water and my robot can suck the rest right out. Thanks so much for the quick advice. See you when I run out!
I’m so thankful for the team at Periscope Pool! We bought a house with a large in ground pool that had been neglected and they brought it back to life. Everyone has been knowledgeable, kind, and responsive.
Friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to get your pool running smoothly for summer. Always a great experience.
We so appreciate such a professional job. They were reliable, timely, polite and competent. Would recommend 1000x over.
Hands down the best company to help you with any and all pool needs; Brad and Gary are honest as the sumner day is long. When we replace or our above ground pool next year they will be number one on our list. If they had six star ratings we'd give them one, but there's only five we'll make it a five-star rating 😎
