Public permit records show 493 total building permits, of which 207 are classified as Pool permits. Their busiest year on record was 2023 with 31 pool permits pulled, followed by 28 in 2022 and 24 in 2025. With the license active since 2001, that is over two decades of documented output in the Orlando metro area. 189 permits have reached final inspection, representing a 93 percent completion rate.

Permit valuations — which contractors self-report at time of application — averaged approximately $698 per permit in 2024 and $773 in 2023. Note that permit valuations are often a fraction of the true contract price; a fully finished gunite pool in Central Florida typically starts at $55,000–$80,000 depending on size, features, and finishes. Use the permit data as a relative benchmark for comparing contractors, not as a literal quote.

Their heaviest concentration is in the Lake Nona corridor: Lake Nona South (62 permits), Lake Nona Estates (16 permits), and Storey Park (9 permits) together account for nearly 90 projects in that one area alone. College Park (28 permits) and Baldwin Park (10 permits) show meaningful activity in the broader Orlando metro. The company is based at 1344 S Narcoossee Rd, St Cloud, FL 34771 — well-positioned to serve Osceola County and southeast Orange County.

Of their 493 total permits, 207 are Pool (new pool construction), 87 are Alteration (modifications and renovations), 78 are Irrigation, 49 are Repair, 24 are Addition, and 21 are New construction. That breakdown means about 42 percent of their work is new pool builds, while the remaining 58 percent spans renovation, irrigation systems, repairs, and additions — making them a full outdoor contractor rather than a new-build-only shop.

As of June 2026, permit records show 14 open permits — meaning 14 active projects are currently in progress or awaiting inspection. This is a moderate workload for a contractor of their volume, suggesting they have capacity to take on new projects without being severely backlogged. In 2025 they pulled 24 permits, and 10 have been pulled so far in 2026, indicating a steady active pace.

AQUA Custom Pools and Spas holds a 4.9-star rating from 18 Google reviews. The top themes in customer feedback are design quality, strong recommendation rate, crew professionalism, and communication throughout the build. Reviewer Darisley R. highlighted that the team proactively called to flag a subcontractor error before she even arrived home — a level of communication that stands out. No complaint tags appear in the aggregated review data, which is notably clean for a contractor with this permit volume.

The Florida DBPR license for qualifier David L. Keim has been active since 2001, giving AQUA Custom Pools and Spas over 24 years of documented operation in the state. The 493 building permits on public record are evidence of sustained, consistent activity over that period — this is not a company that opened recently and has limited history. Permit activity is documented at least as far back as 2006 in the City of Orlando open data system.

Yes. Customer Kael Claxton described hiring them for "the entire process, from the design to the construction, including our artificial turf, fencing, and landscaping." The permit mix confirms this scope: Irrigation permits (78) and Addition permits (24) indicate they pull permits for full outdoor systems, not just the pool shell. This makes them a practical choice for homeowners who want a single contractor managing the entire backyard transformation.
