Poolscapes

Poolscapes is a pool-liner shop working out of Auburn, New Hampshire, that has been swapping and installing pool liners since Scott Dares started the company in 1988, after several years working in pool construction himself. The company says it covers New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine, and every review on file centers on the same kind of job: taking a worn or damaged in-ground liner out and putting a new one in. The reviews line up with that. In a 2026-07-22 review, a customer described an aging pool with a bending wall and a liner that had failed, which Poolscapes rebuilt while also converting it to a saltwater system. Another customer, writing 2026-06-04, had Poolscapes swap the liner on a 30-year-old pool and called the crew professional, polite, and on time. Two more reviews from spring 2025 credit owner Scott Dares personally — one for a smooth in-ground liner replacement, the other for helping pick a new pool and handling both the pool and salt-system installation. All four Google reviews are five stars, and the business carries a 4.9-star average across 16 Google ratings. What's public here is limited — four written reviews is a small sample, and the company's BBB profile carries no rating at all because BBB says it doesn't have enough information to assign one. Worth asking directly about current lead times and whether liner or saltwater work is booked seasonally, since none of the reviews touch on pricing or scheduling. For a homeowner whose vinyl liner has failed or who wants to convert an existing pool to saltwater, the reviews point to a shop that has handled exactly that job repeatedly and dealt with directly by its owner — just confirm current availability and get a written scope before booking.
