USA Swimming Pool Co.

One name runs through nearly every review of USA Swimming Pool Co.: Alex. Homeowners describe him showing up himself — pressure-testing a 1970s gunite pool on a Sunday, in a June 2026 account, or turning up at 10 p.m. to keep a customer's pipes from freezing, in a review from early 2025. For a Brookline company BBB lists with one employee, the day-to-day reads as owner-run. The Beacon Street outfit works both halves of the trade: it builds and refurbishes pools and spas, and it services them. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, held under Stanislav Arlyukov. BBB grades it A+ and lists it as not accredited. Two kinds of jobs keep recurring. The first is the rescue. A 2026 homeowner in Danvers described a pool that had sat closed and neglected for more than 30 years being fully renovated and converted to a salt water system, on budget and on schedule; a 2024 customer wrote about a gunite pool unused for five years, algae and cracked tile and all, being brought back. The second is surface work — resurfacing a 21-year-old pool, replastering, tile renovation around the coping — described in reviews from 2023 through 2026. Speed on breakdowns is the other repeated note. A pool heater called in on a Monday morning was running by that afternoon, per a 2024 review, and a 2022 customer whose pool had gone green switched to routine maintenance after the cleanup. Seasonal openings, closings and season-long care show up across the whole span. Across 32 Google ratings the average is 4.6, with 31 written reviews running 2022 to 2026 and none negative in the past six months. Three one-star accounts sit inside that history, and they are the part worth reading before booking. A 2024 customer says a pool opening confirmed that same morning was simply missed. A 2022 customer describes a $2,600 install that slipped a week, then arrived as a measurement visit and a $2,500 deposit request, with the price restated above $4,000 and the pool never installed. A 2025 caller asking about above-ground pools got a flat no and, in their telling, a curt one — this is an in-ground shop. One wrinkle sits in the timeline: BBB records the corporation as formed in September 2023, while customer reviews go back to March 2022 and one references a pool completed in March 2021. The trading history is longer than the paperwork. If your pool is in-ground and needs reviving, resurfacing, or a season of hands-on care, this is a sensible call, and small enough that you deal with the owner directly. Pin down scope, price and dates in writing, and confirm the registration yourself before any deposit changes hands.
