Ranked by license standing, permit history, review score, and profile completeness — 1 contractor tracked in Los Gatos. No paid placements.

Los Gatos 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 170 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 Los Gatos (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 Los Gatos average roughly 6 permits each, well 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 0% have reached final inspection for contractors here, well below 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 Los Gatos, the most frequently repeated praise themes are on-time, recommend, crew. 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.

He took the time to explain everything we needed to know, helped us figure out what was causing our problem, and even fixed a leak we…”
“I can't say enough about Super Shark Pools! I worked with Mark and Andy twice now and the service was exceptional. The original work was a new Pentair control box for the pump and system and the most recent repair just last week was to replace a coupling off the pool filter housing that had…”
“Highly recommend. We talked with Mark about our pool pump problem and then sent him pictures and other data of our pool set up. He analyzed the problem and recommended a solution, which I thought was both appropriate and fair. Andy installed the pump the same day. He was friendly, efficient, and a master of…”
“We did our pool little over 3 weeks and had Super sharks do pool renovation and patio stone. From engaging with Derek on the sales effort to working with Mark who oversaw and managed the whole effort to Matt who was project manager all were exceptional. Easy to work with and they always kept me…”
“It was a huge disappointment. Saw the stellar review and called them on a Wednesday to get a quote. I was told that latest will be Friday but could possibly be Thursday. Friday came around, no updates. Called them the whole morning, from 9 to 12, 3 times, no one picked up the phone. After…”
