Mandalay Pools & Spas has accumulated 55 building permits across its permit history, with its busiest single year coming in 2025 when the company filed 15 pool permits at an average project valuation of $95,446. In 2024 the company recorded 3 permits averaging $120,000, and 2026 has already seen a permit for $171,294 at 10218 Fieldstone Myrtle Way — suggesting the company is taking on larger, higher-value projects as it matures. At the time of this writing there are 7 open permits, meaning active job sites are underway right now. A recent permit at 14553 Strathglass Dr came in at $56,000 while another at 3418 W Fair Oaks Ave was valued at $166,000, illustrating the range of project scales Mandalay handles.

Geographically, Mandalay Pools & Spas concentrates its work across three Tampa Bay area counties: Pasco leads with 9 permitted projects on record, Hillsborough has 3, and Pinellas has 2. The Pasco dominance — nearly 64% of all mapped permits — points to a builder that has established a strong foothold in the fast-growing communities north of Tampa. This is not a contractor spread thin across dozens of counties; the data shows deliberate geographic focus, which typically correlates with stronger subcontractor relationships and faster permitting turnaround in those specific jurisdictions.

Every one of Mandalay's 19 categorized permits is classified as a Pool permit — 100% of their documented worktype is in-ground pool construction, with no fence, roofing, or general remodeling work diluting the specialization. The license of record is held by qualifier Dayanay Castillo Villa under license number CPC1460451, a Certified Pool/Spa Contractor credential issued by the Florida DBPR in 2023. With 55 total permits against a license that is roughly three years old, the company is averaging well over 15 permitted projects per year — a pace that reflects genuine operational capacity, not a part-time or startup operation. The company has 0 finaled permits in the current dataset, which is common with newer licenses where the permit pipeline is still cycling through to final inspection.

Customer feedback across multiple platforms supports the permit volume story. On Google, Mandalay carries a 4.7-star rating from 52 reviews. Birdeye aggregates 53 reviews at the same 4.7 score. Facebook shows 5.0 from 2 reviews. One customer, Gene and Patty Cox, wrote: "What set Mandalay apart for us was the personal touch. From our first meeting with Derrick, we never felt like 'just another customer.' He listened, answered all our questions, worked with us on several changes until we got our pool plan just right." Another reviewer, Toshya Burdette, noted the project finished in 8 weeks — four weeks faster than the originally quoted 12-week timeline. The top praise tags across all reviews are: recommend (6 mentions), crew (5), professional (5), communication (5), quality (4), knowledgeable (4), design (3), and on-time (3) — a profile that emphasizes consistent project management as much as final build quality.

For a homeowner vetting pool contractors in Pinellas, Hillsborough, or Pasco County, the data picture is straightforward: Mandalay Pools & Spas is a younger company (licensed 2023) that is growing quickly, averaging roughly $95,000–$120,000 per permitted project depending on the year, with 7 current open permits signaling they are actively building. The 100% focus on pool permits — no dilution into unrelated trades — means every crew member and project manager is working exclusively on pools. The complaint tags in the record include "delays/stalling" (1 mention) and "permit/legal" (1 mention), so prospective clients should set clear timeline expectations in writing, but the volume of positive feedback across platforms suggests these are outlier experiences rather than a pattern.

How long has Mandalay Pools & Spas been operating?

Mandalay Pools & Spas received its Florida CPC license in 2023, making it approximately three years old as a licensed entity. Despite being a relatively young company, 55 building permits on public record — with 15 in a single year (2025) — demonstrate a company that has scaled quickly.

However, multiple positive reviews indicate that when issues arise during construction, the team responds quickly: one reviewer noted that even a concern raised after final payment was resolved promptly. Owner Duke is mentioned by name in several reviews as personally checking in on job progress and customer experience.

Does Mandalay Pools & Spas build pools in new construction communities?

Addresses like 7829 Bronze Oak Dr (Pasco, $142,000) and 9982 Wild Begonia Loop (Pasco, $106,000) are consistent with newer subdivision construction.

One customer reported a 4-week total build, another finished in 8 weeks against a 12-week estimate, and a third completed in 7 weeks despite a tropical storm and unexpected high water levels. These are self-reported timelines from customer reviews rather than guaranteed contract terms — but the consistency across multiple independent reviews suggests timeline performance is a genuine competitive strength for this company.
