Should I get a fiberglass, vinyl, or gunite pool in Florida?▾
Gunite (concrete) dominates Florida — it handles our expansive soils and salt air best, and it's the only option for fully custom shapes or infinity edges. Fiberglass is 30-40% faster to install and lower-maintenance but limited to manufacturer shapes. Vinyl-liner pools are rare in Florida; liners degrade faster in the sun and heat.
Do I need a screen enclosure (pool cage) in Florida?▾
Screen cages aren't required but dramatically reduce leaves, pollen, love bugs, and mosquitos — a big deal in central and south Florida. Expect $15,000–$35,000+ for a cage depending on size and mansard-roof complexity. Most pool builders sub out cage work to specialist framers.
Are Florida pool builders licensed?▾
Yes. Commercial Pool/Spa Contractors (CPC) and Residential Pool/Spa Contractors (RP) must hold a state license through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Always verify the license at myfloridalicense.com before signing a contract.
What adds the most value to a Florida pool?▾
Screen enclosures, salt chlorination systems, LED lighting, and travertine or paver decks consistently deliver the highest buyer-perceived value. Heaters (gas or heat pump) extend swim season to year-round and are strong selling points north of Orlando.
