Team Star Pools and Masonry, Inc.

Team Star Pools and Masonry is a Methuen, MA business run by Nick Elezi that specializes in swimming pool resurfacing, retiling and masonry work — not routine pool cleaning or maintenance. The company has been operating for about 19 years, according to its BBB file. The reviews consistently describe pool renovation projects: gunite resurfacing, new tile and techno-bloc coping, plastering, and Deck-O-Seal work, with Nick and his crew singled out by name across years of reviews for showing up early (sometimes as early as 5 AM) and finishing jobs on the timeline they promised. Customers describe old, worn or crumbling pools brought back to like-new condition, and several specifically call out gunite pool restoration as the company's strength. Praise is consistent from 2022 through 2026, with reviewers in Peabody, Danvers and other North Shore Massachusetts towns describing the same pattern: responsive communication, fair pricing for the scope of work, and hard-working crews that don't cut corners. One 2025 review is a clear exception, describing crooked tile work, a poorly finished pool seal, and cracks that came back within the first year — worth asking about directly if you're considering a full resurfacing job. A separate, older 2023 review complained the business seemed uninterested on an initial phone call and questioned whether it really does masonry work at all; that doubt is hard to square with the many detailed accounts of tile, coping and gunite work elsewhere in the record. For pool resurfacing, retiling, gunite restoration or masonry work around Methuen and the North Shore, the reviews point to a skilled, hard-working crew with a long track record — though the one recent quality complaint is worth weighing against the rest.
