The builder you hire sets the outcome. A new pool is one of the bigger investments you'll make in your home, and comparing pool builders around Tampa Bay comes down to a short list of questions.
Here is what we'd check, how to check it, and where we stand on each.
| Criterion | How to Check It | How We Meet It |
|---|---|---|
| State license | Ask for the license number and look it up on the Florida DBPR site. A Certified Pool Contractor (CPC) license covers the whole state. A Registered (RP) license covers only the county where it was registered. | Florida Certified Pool Contractor #CPC 1461120. |
| Track record where you live | Ask how many pools they have built, since when, and in which counties. Ask to see work near you. | 1,800+ custom concrete pools since 2004 across Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco, now building in West Orlando. |
| What past clients say | Read their Google reviews. Look for staff mentioned by name and for how problems got handled. Ask how much of their work comes from referrals. | 4.7 stars on Google with 250+ five-star reviews, and 20% of our new business comes from referrals. |
| Design that starts with your property | Ask whether they will visit and work from a property survey before pricing anything. A price from an aerial photo or an online calculator can't see your slope, access or utility lines. | A designer visits your property, and we design from a property survey showing utility lines, property limits, trees and setbacks. |
| A quote that matches what you asked for | Check that the materials you named (travertine, a pebble interior) are in the base price, and that required site work (retaining, drainage, decking) is priced now, not later. | An itemized quote after you approve the 3D render, pricing what you asked for plus what it takes to support it. |
| How the shell is built | Ask: shotcrete or gunite, and why? | Shotcrete only. We stopped building gunite pools after repeated structural problems with gunite shells. |
| Equipment sized for your pool | Ask how many returns, what filter size, and why that equipment was chosen for this pool. | Four returns are standard on our new pools, along with the skimmer, main drain and a dedicated vacuum line. We install Jandy equipment, selected for the job. |
| Warranty in writing | Ask for each component's term in writing, and what voids it. | 10 years on the pool shell, limited lifetime on interior finish, 3 years on equipment. |
| Who runs your build | Ask who your project manager is, how often you'll hear from them, and who you call if something goes wrong. | A dedicated project manager, weekly updates, a customer portal with plans and progress photos, and an on-site kickoff meeting before work begins. |
| What they won't build | Ask what they don't do. A builder with clear limits knows its trade. | Residential custom concrete only. No fiberglass, no above-ground, no commercial projects, and no solar heating (we refer those homeowners to specialists). |
For the longer version, read how to choose a pool builder.
Every build follows the same order, and the first six steps all happen before anyone breaks ground.
We learn what you have in mind and confirm we build in your area.
You walk the yard together and talk about how you'll use the pool and what you want to spend.
Required before design. It shows utility lines, property limits, trees and setbacks, and can take 2 to 3 weeks to get if you need one.
You see the pool in your actual yard, and we adjust it with you. More on our pool design process.
An itemized quote comes first. Then you choose finishes and materials in our showroom, and then you sign.
We handle permitting and HOA review, and timing varies by municipality. After permits, expect roughly 3 to 4 weeks before construction starts.
Excavation, steel and plumbing (inspected before shotcrete), the shotcrete shell, tile, coping and deck, equipment and interior finish, then fill and your walkthrough. On average, this takes 6 to 8 weeks from dig to dip.
The 6 to 8 weeks covers construction only, not the time from your first call. Scope, site access and municipal permitting can move that average. For what happens on site, read how a custom concrete pool is built.

Pool perfection is by far one of the best companies I've dealt with in a long time. Wes who designed our pool was great and designed a perfect pool for us within our budget. We were concerned about the build itself after hearing horror stories from friends about their pool builds with other companies, but Nick and his team were awesome and finished our pool in under 2 months. Nick was always available by phone to answer any stupid questions we had and resolved any issues very quickly. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who is interested in building a pool.
Pool Perfection is a well oiled machine! At every stage of our pool process the staff was spot on with Scheduling and Communication. From the top down, everyone was a pleasure to work with. A special thanks to Nick our project manager for his Courtesy, Knowledge, and professionalism. We could not be more thrilled with the product the Pool Perfection team created.
Pure perfection! We loved this company every step of the way. Excellence in delivering a perfect product and walking us through every step of the way. We did not have a lot of space and they knocked it out of the park. From design, to invoicing, to project management each crew made sure to explain what they were doing and when, they worked with us and our schedule around the holidays. They were a pleasure to have around our home and were so kind! If I could give them 1,000 stars I would. Thank you Drew, NIck & Pool Perfection!
I’ve never had a better experience with a company than I did with Pool Perfection. We’ve had lots of work done to our home so I expected our pool build to be the usual string of mistakes and miscommunications. Not the case with Pool Perfection and our project manager Nick. Once the pool build started, we had a Monday morning text from Nick with itinerary for the week and it was executed - flawlessly. I couldn’t be more impressed. You hear so many horror stories of homeowners making a huge investment only to be let down. Not the case with Pool Perfection. The owner, Shai, called after the hurricane to check on us and multiple other times just to make sure we were happy with the process. They know what they are doing and I highly recommend them.
Why settle for ordinary, when you can have perfection? Book a design session with our team and we’ll walk through your ideas, budget, and timeline to come up with a 3D design and estimate for free.
