Yes — a full professional winterization is standard in Cambridge: lines blown out, antifreeze placed, equipment drained, and a cover rated for the winter. The season is short and the service intense: May openings, attentive summer weeks, and an October close that has to be flawless before the first hard freeze. Snow-load cover checks and heater maintenance fill the margins.
A green-to-clean recovery in Cambridge typically runs $300–$625 depending on how far gone the water is — heavy algae can take multiple visits, shock treatments, and a filter deep-clean ($75–$175). If the pool sat untreated for a season, some companies recommend a drain-and-clean instead; get a firm quote after a water test rather than over the phone.
