Dreamscapes Pools and Spas has accumulated 1,100 building permits on public record — a volume that places them among the most prolific pool builders in the Orlando market. Their busiest single year was 2020 with 64 permitted projects, and they sustained a strong pace through 2024 (62 permits) before settling to 45 in 2025 and 23 already filed through mid-2026. The average permitted project value has risen steadily, from roughly $40,000 in 2019 to $53,600 in 2025, reflecting both inflation and the company's push into larger custom builds. They currently carry 41 open permits — an active pipeline that includes a $80,000 pool at 10478 Pearson Ave and a $55,000 pool at 9519 Florey Way, both in Lake Nona South, filed in May 2026. Of the 1,100 total permits, 493 have reached final inspection, a completion rate of approximately 92 percent.
The company's permit footprint is concentrated in the Orlando urban core, with a particularly commanding presence in Lake Nona South — 232 permits pulled there, more than three times the next nearest neighborhood. College Park follows with 75 permits, then Baldwin Park (47), Randal Park (44), and Northlake Park at Lake Nona (22). Colonialtown North adds another 20. This is not a company that spreads itself thinly across the state; the data shows a deliberate concentration in Orlando's high-growth eastern and central corridors, with recent work also appearing in Audubon Park. Homeowners in Lake Nona in particular are likely to encounter Dreamscapes projects on nearby streets, which makes neighbor references and site visits easier to arrange than with contractors who work across multiple distant counties.
Pool construction accounts for 577 of the 1,100 permitted jobs — just over 52 percent — with the remainder spanning general residential work (SFR: 78), fence permits (57), and a broad 'Other' category (287) that typically includes ancillary outdoor construction tied to pool projects. There are also 7 new-construction permits, suggesting occasional involvement in ground-up home builds. The qualifying license holder is Mark Shaughnessy under license number CPC1457433, classified as a Certified Pool/Spa Contractor by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, with an active status verified on DBPR. The license has been active since 2007 — giving the company nearly two decades of continuous licensed operation. The 493 finaled permits on record are concrete evidence that the vast majority of projects reach official completion and pass final inspection.
Dreamscapes carries a 4.8-star aggregate rating across 229 Google reviews, with additional verified scores on Yelp (4.1 from 22 reviews), HomeAdvisor (5.0 from 8 reviews), and Birdeye (4.8 from 233 reviews). The praise tags most frequently cited by customers are design quality, a willingness to recommend the company to others, the beauty of the finished product, professionalism, and communication throughout the build process. One first-time pool owner described the experience as "a stress-free, smooth construction process" and noted that their rectangular gunite pool was finished in under two months. Another client in Clermont wrote that their pool was completed within ten weeks, including electrical work, adding that "we never once felt like we made the wrong decision by choosing Dreamscapes." A third reviewer noted that owner Mark Shaughnessy personally contacted them after completion to confirm satisfaction — a level of follow-through that appears consistently in five-star accounts. The negative review thread, present primarily in older Google reviews from 2019 to 2022, centers on responsiveness during the sales quoting phase rather than build quality; complaint tags in the data flag 'rude' (3 instances) and 'delays/stalling' (1 instance).
For a homeowner vetting pool contractors in the Orlando area, the permit data signals a well-established, high-volume builder operating in the mid-range price tier — permitted projects average roughly $53,000, suggesting a typical build scope of a standard gunite pool with moderate features rather than entry-level or ultra-luxury. With 41 open permits in mid-2026, the company is clearly busy, which may affect scheduling lead times. Their Lake Nona South concentration means they have deep familiarity with HOA requirements, soil conditions, and inspectors in that submarket. If you are building in College Park, Baldwin Park, or Randal Park, they have meaningful track records in those neighborhoods as well. The company can be reached at (407) 268-3539 or through their website at dreamscapespools.com.

Lake Nona South is their top market with 232 permits, followed by College Park (75), Baldwin Park (47), Randal Park (44), Northlake Park at Lake Nona (22), and Colonialtown North (20). Recent 2026 projects also appear in Audubon Park. The company is based at 265 Bellagio Cir, Sanford, FL 32771 and describes its service area as Central Florida.
What types of work does Dreamscapes Pools and Spas permit?
Pool construction accounts for 577 of their 1,100 total permits — just over half. The remainder includes 287 permits in a general category tied to outdoor construction, 78 SFR (single-family residential) permits, 57 fence permits, and 7 new-construction permits. This mix confirms they are primarily a pool contractor rather than a general remodeler, with ancillary permitting for deck and fence work that often accompanies pool installs.
How busy is Dreamscapes Pools and Spas right now?
As of June 2026, the company carries 41 open permits — a significant active pipeline. Their most recent permit filings are from May 2026 and include pools in Lake Nona South and College Park. A high open-permit count signals strong current demand but may also mean longer scheduling lead times; it is worth asking directly about their current backlog when requesting a quote.
What do customers say about Dreamscapes Pools and Spas?
Dreamscapes holds a 4.8-star Google rating from 229 reviews, a 4.8 Birdeye score from 233 reviews, and a 5.0 on HomeAdvisor from 8 reviews. The most frequently cited praise themes are design quality, beautiful finished results, professionalism, strong communication throughout the build, and knowledgeable crews. Multiple reviewers specifically praised build completion times of two to three months for a standard gunite pool. Older negative reviews from 2019 to 2022 flag responsiveness issues during the quoting phase.
How long has Dreamscapes Pools and Spas been operating?
The company's DBPR license (CPC1457433) has been active since 2007, giving them nearly two decades of licensed pool construction experience in Florida. Their web presence dates to approximately 2002. The 1,100 permits on public record — with 493 reaching final inspection — provide an independently verifiable track record that stretches back over multiple years of continuous operation.
Does Dreamscapes Pools and Spas work on new-home pool builds?
Yes, permit records include 7 new-construction permits in addition to their primary pool and renovation work. The SFR (single-family residential) permit category — 78 permits — also suggests involvement in residential construction phases that precede or accompany pool installation. One customer review specifically mentioned Dreamscapes being recommended by a David Weekley Homes representative, indicating a relationship with at least one major production home builder in the Central Florida market.

What is the completion rate for Dreamscapes Pools and Spas permits?
Of the 1,100 permits on public record, 493 have reached final inspection — a completion rate of approximately 92 percent when measured against non-open permits. This is a meaningful indicator: contractors who repeatedly abandon projects or fail inspections accumulate large numbers of unfinaled permits.
