Ranked by license standing, permit history, review score, and profile completeness — 1 contractor tracked in Maitland. No paid placements.
Maitland 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 38 customer reviews apiece, well below 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 Maitland (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 Maitland average roughly 248 permits each, roughly in line with 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 73% have reached final inspection for contractors here, somewhat 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 Maitland, the most frequently repeated praise themes are design, communication, value. 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 did extensive homework when researching a pool builder, narrowing our search down and ultimately choosing Next Level Pools and Spas. So glad we went with them! They worked with my budget, provided excellent communication and customer support and delivered our dream backyard paradise! Robbie, Melissa and Jesse were so pleasant to deal with. Jesse…”
“They say good things come to those who wait, and this is certainly the case with Robbie, Mellisa and Jesse. I waited for two years for them to do my pool renovation and it was totally worth it. They were amazing from start to finish. My pool looks absolutely amazing, they didn’t bite off more…”
“I can't say enough about Next Level Pools and Spas. Robbie Taylor was the first pool GC we met with. Our backyard was not in good shape. Within one or two nights he had detailed renderings of what our backyard COULD look like. I don't think we changed much of anything from his vision. We…”
“BEAUTIFUL MODERN STYLE POOL & SPA I could not be more happier with my overall experience with Next Level Pools! If you don't want a pool that looks like your neighbors, have Robbie (owner) take a look at your space and create a UNIQUE design that leaves you, your family and friends in amazement! It's…”
“Yikes - I'm not even sure where to start because this experience has been so bad that I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and never hire Robby and his "company." Everything was great until we signed the contract and wrote the first check. That was about the last time…”
