Signature Pools, Inc. has accumulated 664 total permits across City of Orlando records, with their busiest single year being 2023, when they pulled 20 pool permits. Activity has remained substantial in recent years — 17 permits in 2024 and 9 in 2025. Average permitted project values have been running high: $149,679 in 2023, $114,953 in 2024, and $147,010 across their 9 projects in 2025. As of mid-2026 they carry 6 open permits, including a $78,550 pool at 2659 Lake Shore Dr and a $126,450 pool at 3330 Lake Shore Dr, both currently active. Of all 664 permits ever filed, 156 have reached final inspection — representing a verified completion record on file.
The permit data tells a clear geographic story: Signature Pools is deeply concentrated in the Lake Nona corridor on Orlando's southeast side. Lake Nona South alone accounts for 53 permits, Lake Nona Estates adds 33 more, and Northlake Park at Lake Nona contributes another 7 — totaling 93 permits across those three Lake Nona neighborhoods. Beyond Lake Nona, they show a meaningful presence in Baldwin Park (17 permits) and College Park (9 permits), and a smaller footprint in Vista East (6 permits). This is not a contractor spread thin statewide; their work is concentrated in specific high-value Orlando neighborhoods, which may explain the higher average permit valuations.
The work-type breakdown across all 664 permits reveals that pool projects (173 permits) account for roughly 26% of total permit volume, alongside tent permits (153), fire department TPA permits (72), fire alarm permits (58), and low-voltage work (56). This mix suggests Signature Pools operates as a broader event or specialty construction contractor, not exclusively residential pool. The Florida state license on file is CPC039932, held by qualifier John M. Malagian under the Certified Pool/Spa Contractor classification — the highest residential pool credential in Florida, active since 1986. That is over 38 years of continuous licensure on record with FL DBPR.
Customer reviews present a mixed picture with a 3.5-star average across 19 Google reviews. On the positive side, a 2021 reviewer wrote: "We love our pool it looks like it was installed yesterday. To see even 7 years later how professional and how much time they gave me is impressive and how concerned they were." A 2025 reviewer called them the "ONLY place you should go for anything pool related" and praised the staff as "AMAZING." Top praise tags from reviews include design, crew, professional, value, and beautiful. However, complaint tags flagged by reviewers include rude (raised by 4 separate reviewers) and delays/stalling (raised by 2 reviewers). The negative reviews describe specific staff interactions and communication failures; homeowners researching this contractor should read both sides carefully.
For a homeowner vetting Signature Pools, Inc., the permit data signals a high-volume, high-dollar operator concentrated in Orlando's most desirable neighborhoods. Average project permits have been valued above $114,000 consistently since 2022, suggesting this is not a budget-tier builder. Their 6 current open permits indicate active ongoing work. The license has been continuously active since 1986 — a 38-plus-year tenure. The mixed review profile warrants asking for specific references in your neighborhood, especially in Lake Nona where they have the deepest track record of 86 combined permits across those communities.
