Public permit records show 44 total building permits on file. All 18 permits with a recorded work type are classified as pool permits, and the company's single busiest year was 2025, when they pulled 15 pool permits averaging $48,200 each. Prior to that surge, activity was light — just one permit per year in 2022, 2023, and 2024 — so the recent growth is notable.

Based on permit valuations — which represent estimated construction cost at time of filing — the 2025 average was $48,200 per project. Individual recent permits range from $47,000 to $92,000, with several mid-range jobs clustering around $65,000–$70,000. Permit valuations are not identical to what a homeowner pays, but they are a reliable proxy for where this contractor's projects land on the price spectrum.

The permit footprint shows a strong Hillsborough County concentration — 12 of the 15 county-identified permits are in Hillsborough, which covers Tampa and surrounding communities. Charlotte County accounts for 2 permits and Pinellas County for 1. The company is based at 8101 N Fremont Ave in Tampa, FL 33604, and most of their verified project activity stays within a short radius of that address.

Every work-type-coded permit in the public record — all 18 of the 44 total that carry a work-type label — is classified as Pool. There are no fence, SFR, deck, or renovation permits mixed into the sample, making this a pool-specialist contractor rather than a general builder who does pools on the side. The company's own tagline describes them as a builder for both commercial and residential swimming pools.

As of mid-2026 the company carries 3 open permits still in process. The most recent permit in the dataset was processed November 20, 2025, for a $65,000 project at 3114 W Grace St in Hillsborough County. Three open permits is a moderate current workload — enough to indicate active operations but not an overloaded schedule that might delay your project.

The review picture is mixed and platform-dependent. Yelp shows 4.6 stars across 33 reviews and HomeAdvisor shows 4.2 stars across 17 reviews — both strong scores. Google, however, averages 2.3 stars across 10 reviews. Positive mentions emphasize value and quality results. Recurring complaint themes in the lower-rated Google reviews include quality issues and delays or stalling, each flagged by at least 2 separate reviewers. Reading the full text of the Google reviews before hiring is strongly advised.

The state contractor license CPC1458071 was issued in 2010, putting the company at roughly 15 years of licensed operation as of 2025. The permit record stretches back through multiple years, with 44 total permits on file. Activity was sparse from 2022 to 2024 (one permit per year) before jumping to 15 permits in 2025, which suggests the company went through a low-activity period before recently ramping up.

The public Google review data shows a recurring pattern: 2 separate reviewers cite quality issues (including equipment not matching what was promised and workmanship defects), and 2 reviewers cite delays or stalling (jobs left unfinished, calls not returned). The company's Google rating of 2.3 stars out of 10 reviews is meaningfully below the Florida pool contractor average of 4.4 stars. These are data points from individual reviewers — not verified findings — but the consistency of the complaints across multiple independent reviews warrants due diligence before signing.

Yes. The company markets itself as a builder for both commercial and residential swimming pools. One verified Google reviewer represents a residential community that hired Phoenix Pools for a commercial pool renovation, describing the result as “beautiful and working effortlessly.” The permit record does not break out commercial vs. residential in the available data, but both segments appear to be part of their service offering.
