Photos From Top-Rated Longwood Pool Builders
Ranked by license standing, permit history, review score, and profile completeness — 2 contractors tracked in Longwood. No paid placements.
Longwood is currently home to 2 pool contractors in our directory — somewhat below the statewide average of roughly 2.5 contractors per Florida city. Contractors here have racked up an average of 147 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 Longwood (2 of 2) 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 Longwood average roughly 314 permits each, above 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 96% 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 Longwood, the most frequently repeated praise themes are crew, recommend, professional. 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.
“We purchased our home in Clermont Florida and decided we wanted to add a pool. After researching reviews and visiting the offices of local pool builders in the area we decided to go with Holland Pool. That was most definitely the right choice.

“Our experience with Holland was very easy. We started with Marshall as our consultant. He was patient with us as it took us 6 months to decide on the final look. He worked his magic to fit all of our wants into our budget. He made some great suggestions that turned out great in the…”
“I recently had Holland Pool install a swimming pool in my backyard, and I'm delighted to share my extremely positive experience! From start to finish, the entire project took just 6 weeks - remarkably quick for a pool installation. What impressed me most was that this speed never compromised the quality of work. Holland Pool…”
“02/26/2026 I am rejecting Water’s Edge Pools response because: Let Me start by saying that this pool was built in 2000 and never ever leaked until Mr. Sidhu and his company touched it. NONE of the surroundings had changed, until Water’s Edge Pools started work on the deck, pool, skimmer and coping. It was evident…”
