Public permit records show 371 total permits on file in the Orlando area. The company's busiest single year was 2021 with 16 pools permitted. Recent pace has been 4–8 pools per year (6 in 2024, 5 in 2025), suggesting a more selective approach to project volume compared to the peak years. Of those 371 permits, 172 have been formally finaled.

Permit valuations — which represent the declared construction cost filed with the city — averaged $105,577 per project in 2024 and $118,554 in 2025, up from around $53,412 in 2019. The most recent permit on record (May 2026, Colonialtown North) carries a declared value of $143,750. Keep in mind permit valuations can differ from final contract prices; treat them as a useful ballpark for comparing contractors on an apples-to-apples basis.

The permit record is heavily concentrated in southeast Orlando. Lake Nona South leads with 59 permits, followed by LaVina (25), Metro West (25), Baldwin Park (18), Vista East (11), and Randal Park (9). The company's office is in Lake Mary, FL, but the vast majority of permitted work falls in Orange County rather than Seminole County — making Lake Nona the clearest geographic specialty.

Pool permits account for 192 of 371 total permits — just over half. Beyond residential pools, the record includes 37 New Construction permits, 35 Commercial permits, and 20 Single-Family Residential additions. That commercial and new-build exposure means the company has experience with larger, more complex jobsite coordination than a purely residential pool specialist.

As of June 2026 there are 6 open permits on file. The most recent was processed May 11, 2026 for a $143,750 pool in Colonialtown North. Two other open permits from October 2025 are valued at $105,900 and $155,800. Six concurrent open projects is a moderate workload for an established builder — enough to indicate active operations without the backlog risk that comes with 20+ simultaneous jobs.

Pools By Bradley carries a 4.9-star average across 253 Google reviews, a 4.6 on Yelp (14 reviews), and a 5.0 on Facebook (15 reviews). The most-cited positive themes in recent reviews are: strong recommendation to others, quality of the design process, attentive crew, and communication. Reviewers frequently name specific staff — designers like Jake and Kaysen, coordinator Carole, and field manager Matt — which signals a team-oriented build process rather than a one-person show.

The Florida contractor license held by qualifier Bradley Dean Eaves was issued in 2009, giving the company over 15 years of licensed operating history. The permit record spans at least from 2019 through 2026 in city databases, with 371 total permits providing independent confirmation of sustained activity. That longevity is meaningful — many Florida pool builders that launched during the 2020–2022 pool boom have since closed.

A minority of 1–2 star Google reviews — mostly dated 2021–2023 — mention staff turnover causing miscommunication mid-build, delays blamed on supply chains, and in one case a design element that was overlooked during a period of high volume. The complaint tags flagged in public review analysis are: permit/legal concerns (raised by 2 reviewers), quality issues, and delays. The company's 4.9 overall average suggests these were not the typical experience, but prospective buyers should establish a written project contact list and milestone schedule before breaking ground.

Yes — 37 of their 371 permits are classified as New Construction, and 35 are Commercial. This is above average for a residential pool contractor. The Lake Nona South concentration (59 permits) also aligns with one of Florida's most active new-home development corridors, suggesting the company has established relationships with builders and developers in that submarket. If you are buying a new-build home and want a pool added before move-in, Pools By Bradley has documented experience coordinating in that environment.
