From the beginning, he was easy to communicate with, answered our questions, and kept us informed throughout the project. Building a pool is a big investment, and Mike helped make the process much less stressful. The pool turned out exactly how we envisioned it, and we’re very happy with the quality of the work. > > I would recommend 100% **★★★★★ — HU-299554377, April 2026** > Our pool, turned out great and we were happy with Mad River Pool Construction. The work was timely and our "pool built within a pool" looks larger than it did before! Very pleased with follow-up from crew, Mike, and Jeff. Happy to recommend to anyone that is building or renovating a pool. The outfit was very thorough, professional, and pleasant to have around. Seemed to take pride in their work...which is rare these days!! Thank you!!! **★★★★★ — Fernando Defillo, March 2026** > Mike, Jeff, Dustin, and the entire Mad River Pool team were exceptional throughout the entire build process of our Milan Fiberglass pool and paver deck addition. They were consistently professional, flexible in accommodating our needs, and courteous in every interaction. Their dedication and attention to detail made the experience smooth and efficient. I truly appreciate their commitment to high-quality product and service. We reviewed a few companies, received a few Quotes and Mad River Pool made me comfortable enough to go with them. They know their business and can also give professional advice when they see something that can enhance the project during the build process. **★★★★★ — Candice and Ben, March 2026** > We had our old ugly in ground fiberglass spa replaced. Mike and his team were fantastic to work with. A very talented team of skilled professionals who take pride in doing a great job. We love the results! **★★★★★ — Don Hulser, Feb. 2026** > Mike transformed our backyard from an unused space to a tropical paradise that we look forward to enjoying for many years to come. Mike, his field supervisor Jeff, and their crew are the best. Eight weeks from ground breaking to project completion, (fiberglass pool, spa, filter system, heater, deck, and screen cage), is phenomenal! If your goal is a quality and worry free pool build Mad River Pool Construction is the answer. Thanks Mike for a great experience! **Comment from Mad River Pool Construction:** > Thanks Don! > We had Big Fun building your “Staycation” > Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Connor Kent, Sept. 2025** > Working with Mike has been, without question, the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. From the very beginning, he proved himself to be patient, honest, and deeply committed to our project. Over the course of a year, he worked side by side with us—making countless calls and visits—to carefully design our pool down to the last detail. > > Unlike so many other pool builders in Florida who rely on random subcontractors, Mike directly employs his crew (with the exception of excavation and paver work). That means you always know who’s coming to your home, and his team feels more like trusted friends than just workers. Every step of the way, Mike kept us informed—calling or texting the day before to share arrival times and explain exactly what work would be done. This level of communication is rare, and it gave us peace of mind throughout the process. > > Mike uses only the highest-quality parts and materials, and he’s flexible with changes during the project. He runs his business with integrity—providing strictly documented line items, requiring sign-offs, and keeping everything transparent. With projects that cost tens of thousands of dollars, this kind of accountability is invaluable. > > I’m not an easy customer—I have high standards and don’t hesitate to speak up when things aren’t right. But with Mike, I didn’t have to. He delivered everything on time, at an incredible value, and with minimal disruption to our daily lives. In fact, he finished quicker than any other pool builder we considered, and the cost was not only competitive but an outstanding value given the quality of work. > > I trust Mike completely and can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a pool builder who combines professionalism, honesty, and craftsmanship with a personal touch, Mike is the one to call. **★★★★★ — Connie, Aug. 2025** > The contractor was excellent to work with from start to finish. The team was incredibly professional and courteous in all of their interactions. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident in the flawless execution of the project. **★★★★★ — HU-235662661, Aug. 2025** > We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Mad River Pools. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly skilled. The quality of workmanship is outstanding—our pool turned out even better than we imagined. > Mike kept us informed every step of the way, stayed on schedule, and delivered exactly what was promised. The entire team was respectful, tidy, and clearly dedicated to excellence. > > If you’re looking for a pool builder who combines expertise with great customer service, look no further. Highly recommend! **Comment from Mad River Pool Construction:** > Thank You for your review. We appreciate that. > Enjoy your pool! **★★★★★ — Spencer Sealy, May 2025** > I called 7 or 8 different companies before thankfully finding this one. Setup initial appointment and owner was right on time and assessed what needed to be done and explained everything to me. I needed deck redone and the edges around inside and new pool liner after years of wear and tear. Entire crew was on time every day and did a fantastic job. Supervisor Jeff would come to the door at the end of each workday and explain what they had done and were going to start the next day and explained each phase of the job. Excellent professional company which is so difficult to find these days. **★★★★★ — Lucinda Byers, April 2025** > They were very professional and efficient. They replaced my vinyl liner, repaired my pool steps and replaced my pool light. They did a fantastic job! My pool looks great!! **★★★★★ — Mark, April 2025** > Mike was awesome from start to finish and all the 5 stars are well-deserved. Be aware that, as other reviewers say, it will take a while to get started as he only works on a few projects at a time (that’s a good thing!) - so get a spot in his reserve queue. Once he gets going though it runs like clockwork. His team is professional and the few subs he uses are great, and he has everything scheduled so that there is a consistent pace of work being done on the site every week until completion. Quality is top notch and I don’t recall having to have any “corrections” made on any of the work. Mike was also accommodative with a few changes I made to the project mid-way through, and got them accomplished with no real impact to the project timing. Highly recommended! My neighbors who saw the process and result have already reached out to him for their project **★★★★★ — Kyle Creeden, March 2025** > I highly recommend Mad Ricer Pool. Great experience from design, construction to finished product. Mike and his team really know what they are doing. **Comment from Mad River Pool Construction:** > Thank You Kyle, > Cheers to you and your family > And your beautiful home ## Selected projects - [Fiberglass Pool Clermont](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fiberglass-pool-clermont-pj-vj~6534403) - Location: Clermont, FL - Photos: 1 - [Orlando Concrete Pool/Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/orlando-concrete-pool-spa-pj-vj~6527335) - Location: Orlando, FL - Photos: 5 - [Concrete Pool Major Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concrete-pool-major-renovation-pj-vj~6527343) - Location: Orlando, FL - Photos: 3 - [Apopka Concrete Pool/Spa Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/apopka-concrete-pool-spa-makeover-pj-vj~6527236) - Location: Apopka, FL - Photos: 7 - [Concrete Pool w/ Elevated Pavillion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concrete-pool-w-elevated-pavillion-pj-vj~6525943) - Location: Groveland, FL - Photos: 5 - [Concrete Pool Upgrade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concrete-pool-upgrade-pj-vj~6521757) - Location: Bay Hill, FL - Photos: 6 - [Fiberglass Pool/Spa in Orlando](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fiberglass-pool-spa-in-orlando-pj-vj~6526026) - Location: Orlando, FL - Photos: 3 - [Fiberglass Pool Install Sorrento](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fiberglass-pool-install-sorrento-pj-vj~6526015) - Location: Sorrento, FL - Photos: 4 - [Concrete Pool Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concrete-pool-renovation-pj-vj~6521745) - Location: Bay Hill, FL - Photos: 7 - [Titusville Concrete Pool Replacement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/titusville-concrete-pool-replacement-pj-vj~6525916) - Location: Titusville, FL - Photos: 3 - [Winter Garden Fiberglass Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/winter-garden-fiberglass-spa-pj-vj~6527340) - Location: Winter Garden, FL - Photos: 7 - [Spa Inspired Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spa-inspired-pool-pj-vj~2799416) - Location: Orlando, FL - Photos: 5 - [Silver Travertine Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silver-travertine-deck-pj-vj~2565223) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Fiberglass Spa Installation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fiberglass-spa-installation-pj-vj~2340354) - Location: DeBary, FL - Photos: 3 - [Gunite Pool-Cerosky](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gunite-pool-cerosky-pj-vj~2522129) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Gunite "Spool"](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gunite-spool-pj-vj~2340366) - Location: Windermere, FL - Photos: 4 - [Major Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/major-makeover-pj-vj~2340304) - Location: Mount Dora, FL - Photos: 3 - [Pool Remodel/Water Feature](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-remodel-water-feature-pj-vj~2340312) - Location: Longwood, FL - Photos: 5 - [Freeform Gunite Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/freeform-gunite-pool-pj-vj~2340345) - Location: Longwood, FL - Photos: 5 - [Freeform Gunite Pool / Silver Travertine Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/freeform-gunite-pool-silver-travertine-deck-pj-vj~2522133) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 32 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/swimming-pool-builders/mad-river-pool-construction-pfvwus-pf~1100269995) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1162275081.m3u8?s=cf1c5df28821b1b2ef793cf31c11e3c42d18baef&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you handle local building permits and safety inspections for pool construction?** We are experienced pool contractors in Central Florida, and handling all necessary local building permits and safety inspections is an integral part of our comprehensive pool construction process.
