Ranked by license standing, permit history, review score, and profile completeness — 1 contractor tracked in DeLand. No paid placements.
DeLand is currently home to 1 pool contractor in our directory — well below the statewide average of roughly 2.5 contractors per Florida city. Contractors here have racked up an average of 178 customer reviews apiece, well above the statewide average of 85 — a reasonable proxy for how active and in-demand local pool builders are, since review volume tends to track real project volume over time.
100% of contractors serving DeLand (1 of 1) currently hold an active Certified Pool Contractor (CPC) license on file with the Florida DBPR — roughly in line with the statewide rate of 90%. The rest may be unlicensed, expired, pending renewal, or simply not yet verified in our system, so confirming a contractor's license status directly with the state before signing anything is always worth the five minutes it takes. Building permit history is one of the more reliable signals of real, ongoing work: contractors serving DeLand average roughly 199 permits each, somewhat below the statewide average of 235.9 per contractor — a stronger signal than a star badge on a homepage, which anyone can add regardless of whether it reflects real, permitted work. Of the permits with a recorded outcome on file, about 97% have reached final inspection for contractors here, roughly in line with the statewide finalization rate of 91% — one indicator (not a guarantee) of how reliably local projects get carried through to a signed-off finish.
Across the customer reviews we've indexed for pool builders serving DeLand, the most frequently repeated praise themes are design, crew, on-time. Patterns like these, repeated across many independent reviews from different platforms, tend to be more trustworthy than any single five-star testimonial — look for the same few themes showing up again and again in a contractor's review history before you hire.
Before you hire a pool contractor anywhere in Florida, a few habits go a long way: verify the CPC or CBC license number directly on the DBPR's public license lookup, ask for the contractor's permit history (or pull it yourself from the county building department), read a mix of recent and older reviews rather than just the top-rated ones, and get at least two or three quotes in writing before committing. Florida's pool construction industry has real regulatory teeth — licensing boards and county permitting offices — and using that public data is the fastest way to separate an established, accountable builder from someone who just built a nice-looking website.
“Recently we hired Exquisite pools a family owned and operated business located in Deland. Our pool was becoming an eyesore with staining and pool tiles falling off due to poor workmanship. I had a lot of anxiety about what it would take to totally redo the pool entirely knowing the amount of work would be…”
“We moved to Palm Coast, FL from MA in August of 2024. We had a new home built, and were very anxious to have a pool installed. We did research on several area pool builders that included reading customer reviews, word of mouth reviews, and even viewing some actual pool installations. Following this research, we…”
“Exquisite did a fabulous job installing our new pool and deck. At first we were overwhelmed by the project and the number of preparation and completion items we need to complete before and after construction. However, we found that the contract provided a great checklist for planning. The final completion and inspection took longer than…”

“Called for a proposal on pool and deck remodel without looking at the pool in person or with pictures they denied me a quote. I was upfront about a pool contractor having starting the position and needing someone to quote out the remodel given its current state. Two other premier 5 star companies have already…”
