Water Creations, Inc Orlando and Central Florida Swimming Pool Builder

Yes. Water Creations, Inc. holds active Florida DBPR license CPC057354, classified as a Certified Pool/Spa Contractor — the state's top-tier pool credential. The qualifying license holder is Christina Lynn Auerbach, who has held the license since 2001, giving the company over 23 continuous years of state-verified standing. You can independently confirm the license at the Florida DBPR website (myfloridalicense.com) before signing any contract.

Public records show 27 total permits on file with the City of Orlando, of which 16 are classified as Pool work. The peak recent year was 2021 with 3 permits, and the company has maintained a pace of 2 permits per year in both 2023 and 2024. The most recent finaled pool permit was at 1009 Rosemary Dr, processed September 2024, valued at $55,000. Keep in mind these are Orlando city permit records only — projects permitted in other jurisdictions would not appear here.

Based on City of Orlando permit valuations, recent Water Creations projects have averaged $51,500 in 2024 and $62,500 in 2023. These figures are permit-stated construction values (what the contractor declares for permitting purposes), not necessarily the final contract price, which can differ. In 2021 the average was $36,117, and back in 2020 it was $27,000 — values have risen substantially as material and labor costs increased across the industry. Budget $48,000–$75,000 as a working range based on the last four completed permits.

Permit records show Water Creations is heavily concentrated in Orlando's in-town neighborhoods: Audubon Park leads with 6 permitted projects, followed by College Park with 5. Dover Manor, Dover Shores East, Lake Como, and Lawsona/Fern Creek each show 1 permit. The company is based at 21 N Triplet Lake Dr, Casselberry, FL 32707 — in Seminole County — and its permit footprint suggests it serves primarily the Orlando/Seminole corridor rather than spreading across all of Central Florida.

Of the 27 permits on record, 16 (59%) are Pool builds — the company's core work. Eight permits are classified as Other (likely equipment, plumbing, or deck-related work), 2 are Alterations (renovations or upgrades to existing pools), and 1 is an SFR-associated build (new construction tied to a single-family residence). Customer reviews also mention renovations specifically, with one reviewer praising a pool renovation: 'Chris was extremely knowledgeable, attentive to detail...we could not be happier with the final result.'

As of the most recent permit data, Water Creations carries 0 open permits in Orlando's system. The last permit processed was September 25, 2024, for a $55,000 pool at 1009 Rosemary Dr (finaled). That 0 open-permit count suggests the builder is between active permitted jobs as of mid-2026, which may mean scheduling availability is better than during peak construction periods.

Water Creations holds a 4.7-star rating from 13 Google reviews. The most frequently mentioned positives are: recommend (cited in 6 reviews), design (5 reviews), and communication (5 reviews). Multiple reviewers highlight that owner Chris Auerbach is personally on-site multiple times per week and manages the project from design through post-build support. One reviewer noted the build completed in '2 months and 2 weeks.' There is one 1-star review on record raising concerns about payment disputes and warranty follow-through — worth reading in full before deciding.

The Florida DBPR license CPC057354 was issued in 2001, putting the company at over 23 years of continuous state-licensed operation. Permit records in Orlando's system trace back to 2006, with 27 total permits filed across that span. The company has maintained an active pace through multiple market cycles — the 2020–2024 data shows consistent permitted activity through the COVID-era construction boom and the subsequent market normalization.

Both. Permit records include 2 Alteration permits alongside 16 Pool permits, confirming renovation work is part of the business. Customer reviews reinforce this: reviewer B.R. specifically described a pool renovation — 'Chris, the owner of Water Creations, Inc. did our pool renovation and we could not be happier with the final result.' Reviewer skygrace546 also mentioned recommending Chris 'for their renovation or new pool.' If you have an existing pool needing resurfacing, equipment upgrades, or structural changes, Water Creations has documented experience with that scope of work.

The permit record shows one project as low as $8,350 (2021), and reviewer Julie Lavra Pease explicitly noted: 'We had a smaller budget and wanted a simple, smaller pool. Larger companies were not interested in working on a smaller project...Chris didn't bat an eye when we gave her our budget.' That firsthand account suggests the company is willing to take on smaller jobs that volume-focused builders decline. That said, more recent permits average $51,500–$62,500, so discuss budget expectations directly during your first conversation.
