Ranked by license standing, permit history, review score, and profile completeness — 9 contractors tracked in Naples. No paid placements.
Naples is currently home to 9 pool contractors in our directory — well above the statewide average of roughly 2.5 contractors per Florida city. Contractors here have racked up an average of 72 customer reviews apiece, somewhat 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.
89% of contractors serving Naples (8 of 9) 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 Naples average roughly 115.6 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 47% 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 Naples, the most frequently repeated praise themes are professional, 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.
“Great job from start to finish. Very professional with the design, installation and follow-up. From Travis, Matt, Sue and Brian what a great company. Bottom line: They stand behind their workmanship.”

“DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH STYLISH POOLS!!!!! 15 months to complete a new pool had to get lawyers engaged. We contracted for a new pool in October 2024. Final inspection in February 2026. Over a year for them to complete the pool. Stylish set the expectation that the pool would be completed in 4 to…”
