What the BusinessRate award means
BusinessRate evaluates local businesses across the country using verified Google Reviews. Their Best of 2026 Benchmark Award recognizes the top-rated pool cleaning service across all of Southern New England — that includes Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. This isn't a pay-to-play directory listing or a badge you buy. It's based on what real customers say about their experience.
Winning this award once was an honor. Winning it back-to-back — in 2025 and 2026 — tells us that the way we run this business is working. Show up on time, do honest work, charge fair prices, and treat every pool like it's our own.
Not just Massachusetts — all of Southern New England
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is the scope. This isn't a "best in Peabody" or "best on the North Shore" award — though we'd be proud of that too. BusinessRate evaluated pool cleaning services across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut and determined that North Shore Pool Boys earned the highest marks in the entire Southern New England region.
That's a reflection of the customers who took the time to leave us reviews on Google. Every five-star rating, every detailed review about Chris and the crew showing up and doing the job right — that's what powered this award. We're grateful for every one of them.
What sets us apart from other pool services
We think the reason customers rate us so highly comes down to a few things that shouldn't be unusual but unfortunately are in this industry:
We actually call you back. When you reach out, you hear from us within 48 hours — usually same day. No ghosting, no weeks of silence.
We show up when we say we will. If we say Thursday morning, we're there Thursday morning.
We're honest about what you need. We don't upsell unnecessary services or parts. If your pump is fine, we'll tell you it's fine.
We're CPO certified. Certified Pool Operator certification means we understand water chemistry, equipment systems, and safety standards at a professional level.
We treat your property with respect. We clean up after ourselves and leave your yard the way we found it — minus the dirty pool.
Serving 16 towns across the North Shore
We're based at 22 May Street in Peabody, MA and serve homeowners across the entire North Shore. Our weekly service routes cover Danvers, Beverly, Salem, Marblehead, Swampscott, Lynn, Saugus, Lynnfield, Middleton, Wakefield, Reading, North Reading, Topsfield, Wenham, and Hamilton.
Whether you need weekly maintenance, seasonal openings and closings, equipment repair, liner installation, heater installation, leak detection, or hot tub service — we handle it all with the same level of care that earned this recognition.
Thank you to our customers
This award belongs to the homeowners who trusted us with their pools and took the time to share their experience. Every review — from the first-time pool owner in Saugus to the family with the 30-year-old in-ground pool in Marblehead — helped make this happen. We don't take that trust lightly, and we'll keep earning it every visit.
