Ranked by license standing, permit history, review score, and profile completeness — 1 contractor tracked in Merritt Island. No paid placements.
Merritt Island 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 39 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 Merritt Island (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. Permit history is one of the more reliable signals of real, ongoing work — a contractor with a long county permit record has had jobs inspected and finaled by local building officials, which is a stronger signal than marketing copy alone. We recommend checking permit history directly with the county building department for any contractor in Merritt Island you're seriously considering.
Across the customer reviews we've indexed for pool builders serving Merritt Island, the most frequently repeated praise themes are design, 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.
“Josh (owner) and his team of professionals did a neat, efficient, craftsman-like job for my pool installation. From sales and planning (David), to execution (Krista, Brandon, Raymond, Chuck, and Gage), everything was superlative. They transformed my backyard into a glamorous oasis with a heated, crystal clear fiberglass pool. Josh takes great pride in his product…”

“Words are definitely not enough to express on what this company did for me and my family. It started by a referral and met Scott, who designed our oasis. It only took one draft and we went with it! Joshua came out to meet us and take a look at our yard, and the following…”
“We just finished building a pool with Fantasy Pools and I had an incredibly positive experience. There is a lot of positive that can be said from the timing (which was unheard of fast), to the quality of the pool design and final product. But I think the most impressive to me is the customer…”
