Public permit records show 199 total permits on file, including 56 permits specifically classified as residential pool construction. The company's busiest years were 2020 (25 permits) and 2017 (24 permits). In 2025 they permitted 14 projects, and there are currently 4 open permits active as of mid-2026, confirming the business is still taking on new work.

Based on publicly filed permit valuations, the average permitted project cost was $50,252 in 2025 and $81,270 in 2024 — the 2024 figure likely reflects larger or more complex builds that year. In 2022 and 2023 the averages were $66,286 and $65,000 respectively. Note that permit valuations are estimates filed for inspection purposes and do not always equal the full contract price; your actual quote will depend on pool size, finishes, screen enclosure, and site conditions.

The company is based at 1661 Richland Ave in DeLand, FL, and its permit record spans seven jurisdictions. DeLand leads with 55 permits, followed by Sanford (20), New Smyrna Beach (18), Seminole County (14), Daytona Beach (6), Oviedo (4), and additional projects in Clermont, Groveland, South Daytona, Lake Mary, and Orlando. This coverage stretches across Volusia, Seminole, Orange, and Lake counties.

Their 199 permits break down as follows: 54 accessory building or structure permits (screen enclosures, outdoor structures), 43 swimming pool residential, 25 general residential permits, 13 residential pool in-ground, 9 reroofing, and 5 electrical residential. The combined pool-specific count of 56 confirms core pool construction expertise, while the accessory structure volume shows depth in screen enclosures and outdoor living additions.

Exquisite Pool & Spa holds a 4.6-star rating from 178 Google reviews. The most frequently mentioned positives are design quality, the on-site crew, on-time completion, knowledgeable staff, and beautiful finished results.

Yes. Reviewer Daniel Buyea specifically chose Exquisite for a fiberglass pool install after researching competitors, writing that they wanted 'a highly experienced company to install it' and were pleased with the result. Their permit mix includes both in-ground and residential pool classifications that cover fiberglass, gunite, and vinyl installations. Ask your sales rep directly about the fiberglass brands they carry and current lead times for fiberglass shells.

A recurring theme in the 1-2 star reviews — noted by at least 3 separate reviewers — is construction delays and communication gaps after the initial sales phase. One reviewer suggested specifically asking upfront 'who your foreman is going to be, how often they visit your site, and how often they communicate to you.' Get your build timeline in writing, clarify the payment schedule relative to project milestones, and confirm a named project manager before signing.
