Pool installation earned detailed praise from one Surfside customer, while others described trouble getting service or callbacks. Surfside Pool Company is based in Amherst, New Hampshire, and describes itself as family-owned. Its website offers pool design and installation, liner replacement, spas, equipment and fencing, with a stated service area including Amherst and several Massachusetts towns. In a May 2025 Google review, a customer described purchasing a pool in Amherst and coordinating installation with Lindsay in Fitchburg. Mike and his crew prepared the pad with a bobcat, brought in two truckloads of material and constructed the pool. The reviewer praised their attention to detail, hard work and manner. A separate customer writing that month said they had used Surfside for over 20 years and praised its product knowledge and products. In November 2025, another customer said they found a pool pillow even after the showroom had switched to winter ski gear. A June 2026 reviewer reported repeated calls over several weeks about a pool heater. Surfside said it was waiting for a $375 part; the customer said another provider cleaned the heater and restored it without replacing parts. A June 2025 reviewer complained that leaves entered the pool during opening, cleaning was postponed because the cleaner was injured, and two rescheduled visits ended without a call or arrival. An above-ground pool buyer in Milford described three installation-date changes in a September 2022 review. The customer said the installers stopped for gravel delivery and charged $100 to return; the gravel bill itself was ultimately not charged to the customer. They praised the finished pool's construction but said the promised instruction on using it never materialized despite repeated messages. Other older complaints concerned follow-up: a May 2023 reviewer said Surfside refused to supply measurements for a liner it had installed; a May 2022 reviewer described an unresolved warranty liner replacement and unanswered calls after an earlier supply-chain delay. In September 2021, a prospective customer reported weeks of calls and an unanswered email about installation. Surfside's BBB listing gives it an A+ grade, identifies it as not accredited, and reports 36 years in business under the alternate name Sport Loft Ski Shop.
Stay away from this company. Absolutely awful. They said they would fix my pool heater. I never saw any evidence that they ever showed up. When I called them repeatedly over weeks, they kept saying they were waiting for a part that would cost $375. I finally called someone else. They cleaned it out and it works fine. No parts needed. It's still working great a year later.
The best place to buy pools and supplies!
Pool supplies displayed in the summer and ski gear in the winter. But the pool supplies are in the storage room if you need something. Needed a pool pillow to close my pool and they had what I needed though the showroom had been changed over for winter sports.
This is the absolute worst company out there. Was supposed to open pool, let all leaves in when they took off the cover, put the steps in, put shocker in, left the unopened bags on deck and Ground. Supposed to clean it, cleaner couldn’t do it due to injury. Rescheduled twice now. No phone call, no show! Unprofessional and the worst customer service I have yet too see.
Been using them for over 20 years. They know their stuff and their products are quality.
