Patio Pools Inc has filed 472 building permits on public record spanning 2006 through 2026, with a permit valuation that reflects projects priced around $124,693 on average. The company's busiest stretch ran from 2018 through 2021, when it pulled 38, 34, 64, and then a company-record 92 permits in successive years. Volume has moderated since — 24 permits in 2023, 18 in 2024, and 12 through 2025 — but 18 permits remain open right now, signaling a builder that is actively under contract and not winding down. Recent completed jobs include an in-ground concrete pool at 18075 Romanesque Ct (Hernando, $134,323) and another at 9464 Seagrass Prt (Pasco, $119,367), both finalized in fall 2025.
The permit footprint is concentrated in Pasco County, which accounts for 11 of the 13 county-tagged permits in our current sample, with single permits in Hillsborough and Hernando. Their physical address — 4118 Gunn Hwy in Carrollwood — sits at the intersection of Hillsborough and Pasco, which lines up with the data: they serve both the northern Hillsborough suburbs and the fast-growing Pasco corridor without being spread thin across the entire state.
Every permit in the dataset is categorized as pool work — 100% of their permitted mix is in-ground concrete construction, with no fencing, additions, or general residential work diluting the picture. The license of record is held by Gina L. Schrader under license number CPC1458992 (Certified Pool/Spa Contractor, status Active, issued 2017 per FL DBPR). Of the 472 permits on file, 454 have reached final inspection — a 96% completion rate that is meaningfully above the Florida pool-builder average and points to a company that closes out its permits rather than leaving homeowners in a paperwork limbo.
Customer reviews are spread across Google (4.1 stars, 157 reviews), Facebook (4.4 stars, 85 reviews), Yelp (3.6 stars, 47 reviews), and Angi (5.0 stars, 4 reviews). The top praise themes across platforms are design, crew quality, professionalism, on-time delivery, and knowledgeable staff. One five-star reviewer wrote: "The entire 14,000 gallon pool with oversized deck and lanai took just 5 weeks from dig to water-in-pool; incredible." Another noted the team "completed the pool within 8 weeks — during Hurricane Milton and Helene no less." The complaint picture is real and worth reading: recurring themes in the 1–2-star reviews are delays and stalling (flagged by 3 separate reviewers), quality issues (flagged by 2 reviewers), and in some cases rude or unresponsive back-office staff. These concerns appear most often in remodel projects rather than new builds.
For a homeowner vetting Patio Pools Inc: the permit data confirms this is a high-volume, long-established Tampa-area builder with a legitimate track record — 472 permits is not a paper contractor. The 96% final-inspection rate and 18 currently open projects suggest an operation that is busy and operationally sound on the permit side. The rating gap between Facebook (4.4) and Yelp (3.6) likely reflects the skew of review platforms toward extreme experiences; the Google score of 4.1 across 157 reviews is the most statistically reliable signal. If you are considering a new build, the data and the reviews both trend positive; if you are considering a remodel, read the complaint reviews carefully before signing.

Recent individual permits include a $134,323 project at 18075 Romanesque Ct (Hernando County, Oct 2025) and a $92,235 project at 8538 Hawbuck St (Oct 2025). Permit valuation is the declared construction cost at permit time and may differ from the final contract price, which can include design, equipment, landscaping, and add-ons.
Where does Patio Pools Inc build?
Their permit footprint is concentrated in Pasco County (11 permits in our indexed sample), with additional work in Hillsborough County (1) and Hernando County (1). Their office is located at 4118 Gunn Hwy in Carrollwood, which sits on the Hillsborough–Pasco border — consistent with a builder serving the northern Tampa suburbs and the fast-growing Wesley Chapel / Land O' Lakes / Zephyrhills corridor.
What types of work does Patio Pools Inc permit?
One hundred percent of their permitted work is categorized as Pool in our dataset — specifically in-ground concrete construction. There is no mix of fence, addition, or general residential permits diluting their specialty. Their website describes the company as a custom inground swimming pool building and remodeling company serving Tampa since 1979, and the permit data aligns with that focus.
How busy is Patio Pools Inc right now?
As of the most recent permit data, Patio Pools Inc has 18 open permits — meaning 18 projects that have been permitted but not yet reached final inspection. Their most recently processed permit was filed in November 2025 (2502 Victarra Cir, $117,185). This level of open-permit activity is consistent with a builder running multiple active job sites simultaneously, which can affect scheduling and responsiveness for new customers.
What do customers say about Patio Pools Inc?
Patio Pools Inc holds a 4.1-star rating across 157 Google reviews, 4.4 stars across 85 Facebook reviews, and 3.6 stars across 47 Yelp reviews. The most common praise tags from reviewers are design, crew quality, professionalism, on-time delivery, and knowledgeable staff. Recurring concerns in 1–2-star reviews include delays and stalling (mentioned by at least 3 separate reviewers) and quality issues after completion (mentioned by at least 2 reviewers), with the pattern appearing more often in remodel work than new builds.
How long has Patio Pools Inc been operating?
Their website states they have been serving Tampa since 1979, and their domain has been active online since 1998 — roughly 28 years of web presence. The permit record begins in 2006 and covers 20 years of consecutive activity through 2026, with no multi-year gaps that would suggest the company stopped operating and restarted. The current license under Gina L. Schrader has been active since 2017.
Does Patio Pools Inc handle pool remodels or just new builds?
Patio Pools Inc advertises both new pool construction and pool remodeling on their website. However, multiple 1-star reviews specifically name remodel projects as the source of their complaints — issues with tile finishing, sinking pavers, and delayed completion. One sales representative (Matt) is quoted in a positive review as being transparent about this: he told a customer that remodels are difficult and encouraged them to do a full new build instead, which that customer ultimately preferred. Homeowners considering a remodel should read the complaint reviews carefully before proceeding.
How does Patio Pools Inc's completion rate compare to other builders?
Of the 472 permits on file for Patio Pools Inc, 454 have reached final inspection — a 96% completion (finaled) rate. This is a meaningful indicator: contractors who repeatedly leave permits open expose homeowners to certificate-of-occupancy issues and unresolved code questions. A 96% rate across nearly 500 permits is above the typical Florida pool builder average in our database.
