Why It Matters
The Right Team Makes All the Difference When You Search for Pool Opening Service Near Me
Every spring, Beverly MA gunite pool owners face the same question: who should I call for pool opening service near me? And every fall: who can I trust to close my gunite pool correctly before winter? The answer matters far more than most homeowners realize. A gunite pool represents a six-figure investment — and the way it is opened and closed each season directly impacts the lifespan of your plaster finish, the reliability of your equipment, and the quality of your water for the entire swim season.
At Luxury Pools By MF, our pool opening and closing service is built around a single principle: gunite pools deserve gunite specialists. We do not service vinyl liner pools. We do not service fiberglass pools. Every protocol, every chemical procedure, and every inspection checklist we use is calibrated specifically for concrete pool construction.
If you own a gunite inground pool in Beverly MA, the sections below will tell you exactly what problems we solve, what you gain when you work with us, and why the difference between a generalist and a specialist could mean thousands of dollars in preventable repairs.
Pain Points for Gunite Pool Owners in Beverly MA
These are the problems we hear from MA homeowners season after season — all of them preventable with the right service provider.
- ✗Green, cloudy water every spring — last year’s closing was not done properly and algae took over under the cover all winter
- ✗Cracked fittings and broken plumbing at opening — result of an incomplete winterization blowout that left water in the lines to freeze
- ✗Etched or permanently stained plaster finish — caused by improper water chemistry at closing, expensive and entirely avoidable
- ✗Can’t get a timely appointment — booked weeks out, you lose valuable weeks of your Beverly MA swim season
- ✗Different technicians every visit — no continuity, no knowledge of your pool’s specific configuration from year to year
- ✗Generic protocols not designed for gunite — companies treating your concrete pool the same as a vinyl liner
- ✗Surprise repair bills at opening — damage a proper closing would have prevented entirely
- ✗No inspection or communication — service completed without flagging issues before they become major problems

Our Specialty
Concrete Pool Opening Service in Beverly MA: We Only Service Gunite Pools
This is not a limitation — it is a deliberate choice that makes us significantly better at what we do. Luxury Pools By MF was built around gunite. We design gunite pools, we build gunite pools, and we provide concrete pool opening service in Beverly MA for gunite pools exclusively.
When you call a general pool service company for your gunite pool opening, you get the same technician who opened a vinyl-lined above-ground pool the day before. The chemistry is different. The inspection protocol is different. The winterization requirements are different.
If you own a gunite inground pool in Beverly MA, you have found the right team. If you own a vinyl liner or fiberglass pool, we respectfully refer you to a generalist — so we can remain completely focused on serving concrete pool owners at the highest possible level.

Why Gunite Pool Winterization Service in MA Demands More Than Generic Pool Service
Beverly MA winters are among the most demanding conditions for inground pool plumbing and equipment in New England. Here is exactly why gunite pool winterization requires a specialist.
Plaster & Aggregate Finish Chemistry
Gunite pool finishes — white plaster, quartz aggregate, pebble surfaces — are chemically reactive in ways vinyl and fiberglass never are. The pH, calcium hardness, and total alkalinity at closing directly determine whether your finish survives winter intact. Our protocols are precision-calibrated for concrete finishes specifically.
Steel-Reinforced Shell Inspection
Beneath every gunite pool’s plaster surface is a structural steel rebar skeleton. Our technicians inspect for signs of movement, cracking, or delamination that could indicate deeper structural stress — issues invisible to the untrained eye that can accelerate rapidly through a Beverly MA winter.
Gunite Pool Winterization — Complete Plumbing Blowout
Gunite pools — especially custom luxury pools — feature more complex plumbing than vinyl or fiberglass alternatives. Multiple return lines, water feature circuits, spa connections, and automation plumbing all require individual attention. Our gunite pool winterization blows out every single line without exception.
New England Freeze-Thaw Protocol
Beverly MA does not simply get cold — it freezes, thaws, and refreezes repeatedly. That cycle stresses pool plumbing more than a steady deep freeze ever would. Our gunite pool service in New England is built around this specific climate reality, winterizing at the timing and sequence that accounts for early October frost events and late-season hard freezes.

ABOUT Beverly, MA
Native Americans inhabited what would become northeastern Massachusetts for thousands of years before the European colonization of the Americas. At the time of European contact in the early 1600s, the area that would become Beverly was between an important Naumkeag settlement in present-day Salem and Agawam settlements on Cape Ann, with probable indigenous settlement sites at the mouth of the Bass River. During the early contact period, virgin soil epidemics ravaged native populations, reducing the indigenous population within the present boundaries of Beverly from an estimated 200 to less than 50 if there were any survivors.
English colonists, under Roger Conant’s leadership, first colonized the area in 1626 as part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Initially part of Salem, Beverly would be set off and officially incorporated in 1668, when it was named after Beverley, the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Surviving from the settlement’s early history is the John Balch House, built, according to dendrochronological testing performed in 2006, about 1679.
The colonists did not initially seek permission from indigenous inhabitants to settle in Beverly; however, when Charles II revoked colonial charters to establish the Dominion of New England in 1684, Beverly joined a number of Massachusetts municipalities in seeking out heirs to local sachems and paying them ex post facto in order to establish a right to the land. So it was that in 1686, the town selectmen agreed to pay six pounds, six shillings, and eight pence to three grandchildren of Chief Masconomet, last sachem of the Agawam. They did not pay this sum until 1700.
The first ship commissioned for the Continental Army (as the Continental Navy did not yet exist), was the armed schooner USS Hannah under the command of Captain Nicholson Broughton. It was outfitted at Glover’s Wharf and first sailed from Beverly Harbor on September 5, 1775. For this reason, Beverly calls itself the “Birthplace of America’s Navy”. Marblehead makes a similar claim, in part, because Broughton was from there and belonged to the Marblehead Regiment. However, the official history of the United States Navy and the naval history of Rhode Island contradict this. Hannah can be found on the patch of the city’s police department.
Beverly has also been called the “birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution,” as it was the site of the first cotton mill in America (1787) and largest cotton mill of its time. The town is the home of one of the country’s first Sunday schools, which was built in 1810. Beverly was incorporated as a city in 1894.
In 1902, the United Shoe Machinery Corporation built a quarter-mile (400 m) stretch of factory buildings in Beverly. The stretch was an early landmark example of reinforced concrete construction, devised by concrete pioneer Ernest L. Ransome. In 1906 it went into production. Closed in 1987, the complex was bought by Cummings Properties in 1996, and developed into a campus of hi-tech companies, salons, restaurants, medical offices, and more. Parker Brothers, makers of Monopoly and other games, was headquartered in Beverly, acquired by Hasbro, and eventually ceased operations in Beverly. In 2012, the Dunham Road property was acquired by Cummings Properties and named Dunham Ridge.
President William Howard Taft rented a house for the summer White House from Mrs. Maria Evans in Beverly. In the summers of 1909 and 1910, he lived in a house located at what is now the site of the Italian Garden in Lynch Park, the city’s principal public park, and in 1911 and 1912 he rented a different house a mile (1600 m) away, “Parramatta”, from Mrs. Robert Peabody. Beverly Hills, California, was named in 1907 after Beverly Farms in Beverly because Taft vacationed there.
In 1984, the deadliest arson fire in Massachusetts history occurred at the Elliott Chambers, a rooming house located on the corner of Rantoul and Elliott Streets in downtown Beverly. 15 people died as a result of the fire.
Beverly has a former Nike missile site on L. P. Henderson Road, immediately east of the Beverly Municipal Airport. This site was in operation from March 1957 until August 1959, when the Army handed it over to the National Guard. It is currently used by Massachusetts US&R Task Force 1 and is under the scrutiny of many environmental organizations, due to concerns about polluted groundwater, which could be potentially hazardous to the nearby Wenham Lake water supply.
In April 2013, Bill Scanlon, Beverly’s longest-serving mayor, announced that he would not be running for re-election in November. Scanlon first won election to the mayor’s seat in 1993 and held the office through 2013 (with the exception of a single term by Tom Crean from 2002 to 2003). In 2013, Michael Cahill beat Wes Slate to become Beverly’s 34th mayor.
