Public permit records show 534 total building permits on file for Trendsetter Pools LLC. In the most recent tracked sample, the company pulled 17 permits in 2025 — its busiest documented year — compared to 2 in 2024. That 2025 pace indicates the company is currently operating at a high volume.

Based on public permit valuations, 2025 projects averaged $153,163 per permit — up from a broader sample typical value of $82,400. Keep in mind permit valuations reflect the declared construction value, not the full contract price including landscaping, fencing, or pool equipment. Recent individual projects ranged from $81,000 to $116,200 in permit value. Ask the company for an itemized quote to compare against these benchmarks.

Permit records show Trendsetter Pools LLC is heavily concentrated in Hillsborough County, where 14 of its 19 most recently tracked permits were pulled. Pasco County accounts for 2 additional permits. The company is based at 13540 N Florida Ave # 101 in Tampa, and its own website references Tampa and Wesley Chapel as primary service areas. All six of the most recent permit addresses on record fall within the Tampa city limits.

All 19 permits in the most recent tracked sample are classified as Pool work — a 100% pool-focused mix with no fence, SFR new construction, or commercial permits on record. This makes Trendsetter a true pool-specialist builder rather than a general contractor who occasionally builds pools. The CPC license type (Certified Pool/Spa Contractor) also limits the scope to pools and spas, consistent with what the data shows.

As of the latest permit data, Trendsetter Pools LLC has 5 open permits — meaning there are active jobs currently in progress. The most recent permit on record was processed December 26, 2025 (2824 W Thornton Ave, $87,000, Filed status). A company with 5 simultaneous open permits is meaningfully active; ask them directly how many crews are running and what the current booking lead time looks like before signing.

Trendsetter Pools LLC holds a 4.2-star rating across 53 Google reviews, 4.5 stars from 17 Facebook reviews, and 4.0 stars from 4 Yelp reviews. Top praise tags from positive reviews include communication, design, and knowledgeable. However, 2 separate negative reviewers flagged quality issues and 2 others cited unresponsive service after the contract was signed. Reading the full text of both the 5-star and 1-star reviews will give you the clearest picture of what to expect.

The company's Florida contractor license CPC1456591 has been active since 2003 — over 22 years of licensed operation. Its web presence dates to at least 2004 per archive records. The 534 building permits on file span that operating history and represent a genuine, verifiable track record of completed work in the Tampa market.

Yes — the review data flags quality issues as a recurring complaint tag, raised by 2 separate reviewers in their own words. Specific complaints in the record include sinking pavers within 6 months, heat pump programming errors, unresolved post-build punch list items, and a warranty dispute. The company does respond to reviews and in several cases sent crews back to address issues, but some customers describe the resolution process as requiring persistent follow-up. Weigh this alongside the positive reviews before deciding.

The permit mix does not include SFR (single-family residential new construction) permits — all 19 tracked permits are classified as Pool work, suggesting the company builds pools on existing residential lots rather than partnering with homebuilders on new construction sites. Customers Josh ODonnell and Polanco Household both describe building pools in established yards, consistent with this pattern. If you are building a new home and want a pool added simultaneously, ask the company whether they coordinate with your homebuilder.

Based on customer reviews, the company has quoted 3 months to dig and 3 months to swim — a 6-month total timeline. Josh ODonnell reported they started 6 weeks ahead of schedule and finished a full 2 months early. Kevin Mathewson reported an 8-week build once permits were approved, though the permitting process itself took over 6 months. With 5 open permits currently active, ask specifically about current scheduling before committing.
