Larsen's Pool & Spa

My name is Washington Gomes. I am a subcontractor specialized in coping/tile,I have been in the construction industry for 20 years. On the Larsen’s team for over 8 years. I’m here to give some inside review about Larsen’s Pool & Spa. I believe the way someone treat their subordinates tells a lot about their own character. I have worked with so many different contractors over the years and witness so much unfair situations unfold. But coming to work with Larsens made realize not everybody is the same. Here at Larsen’s there is such a good work environment, we are well compensated and our hard work is often recognized. Eric Larsen personally treat everyone with much respect, setting the example quickly followed throughout the whole work stuff. More than a team I feel like I am part of the family. This inspire us to keep doing what we do best. I feel blessed to be part of the Larsens team. Living in an era of competitiveness where time is money and profits is set by many as main goal, quality is often overlooked and/or forgotten. As a subcontractor and part of the workforce we are always subdue to the contractor goals and demands. Most of the time pushed to fill a quota, aiming to the fastest result with minimum investment possible. A quick buck is a recipe follow by many. Most of the time their work is offered by a slightly lower price that will cost their clients a shattered Dream. An amazing deal at first sight, but destined to fail within a few years. My 20 years of experience has thought me that investing on better supplies and taking time to do it right, will actually take us to best results with much longer lifespan on the final product. I have a passion about my work and take pride on it. One of the many things I love about working with Larsens is that we share the same vision and our goals are aligned. With Larsens is not just about the profit. They have built a stellar reputation. They care about quality, they invest in the best supplies the market has to offer and actually encourage us when we have a passion about our work. I feel I have the right elements to deliver my 100% best. At the end of the day I go home and I feel like I actually made a difference. Coming to realize we are not just building pools, but most importantly other peoples dreams. I feel good about being an instrument on this process. It fuels my responsibility on a day to day basis. With so many options, it can be hard to know who to trust. In the mix of all the prejudice, loss and bad examples set by some, distrust is completely understandable. Is not just your hard worked money at risk but also your family dream. My word of advice, it doesn’t have to be difficult. There is a whole community of people just like you that at some point had to go through the same struggles. Look at the reviews. I say this with confidence because this is Larsen’s Legacy. The results actually speaks for themselves. An inside piece of information “Your Dream is safe with Us”.

A heartfelt “thank you” to Larsen’s Pool and Spa, not only for a job well done but also for a pleasant, anxiety-free, enjoyable construction experience. I gladly share my appreciation and satisfaction because of one thing: Your team delivered on every single promise made to me before signing a contract. My project was a total renovation/salvage of a 1960s-era pool that was the only thing left behind after a blighted, run-down home was demo’d in preparation for new construction. The new build is our forever home, or as my wife has named it, “our pine box.” By any name, it is the home we have always wanted and will enjoy through our golden years. Larsen’s work made that old, ugly and dilapidated pool look new, fresh and fashionable — now a backyard focal point of the new home it compliments. My three previous experiences with pool construction had been far from satisfying — actually disappointing and, by the end, adversarial. This time it was a pleasure. From start to finish, from sales (Jeff Tarquinto), to construction (John Martin), and finally to start-up (Justin), your team was cooperative, knowledgeable, patient and just nice people. Helluva job delivered on time. It was great doing business

Digging to swimming in less than 60 days! Their service is fantastic and fast. Excellent communication and very professional. Definitely would recommend it to others!

Absolutely outstanding! We couldn’t be happier with our pool and every aspect of the process. Drew was fantastic throughout, and the communication and follow-up for small issues along the way was terrific. We would highly recommend Larsen’s for anyone looking to add a gorgeous pool to their home. You will not be disappointed.

We contracted with Larsen's pools to resurface, retile, install coping and pebble tech finish for our pool as well as install travertine throughout our outdoor area. Their promptness for setting up appointments and coming out when they said they would was much appreciated! They have handled everything promptly and addressed any and all concerns we may have had during the process. John and Mr. Larsen were always attentive and met our every need. The final product is just stunning! Very professional and customer oriented.

We built our pool a year ago. So far, it’s been amazing. Pool has no issues. Staff is amazing! After a year, any questions or concerns I have, Justin (Sensitive Information Hidden) still responds and tries to help in every way he can. This shows how much larsens pool values their customers and their work! Highly recommend!!

We did our due diligence in researching a reputable pool company in the Tampa Bay area. We chose Larsen’s Pool & Spa to create our outdoor living space with no regrets. Larsen’s completed the job without delay and exceeded our expectations! Our experience at the design center with Adam was amazing. He was very professional, kind and courteous. He acknowledged our ideas, shared his thoughts and provided guidance to create an amazing design. Our design was transformed to a digital format which was helpful to visualize the project. It was a pleasure working with Adam. Our construction manager Reid was very knowledgeable, possesses excellent communication skills, well-organized and displayed professionalism. Reid was on-site and proactive during construction. He clearly communicated every step with us, by keeping us informed and always returning our calls. He truly cared about our project, and it showed in his attention to details. Reid’s hard work, continuous efforts and organization skills were the driving force to keep things moving forward with an end result of our project being completed prior to the date promised. He is an asset to Larsen’s and we are grateful for all of his hard work and efforts to get the job done! After our pool and spa were installed we had the pleasure to work with Justin. He completed our initial pool startup. Justin was very kind, considerate and patient. We appreciate the time he spent to clearly explain and demonstrate the necessary steps to maintain and care for our pool. Larsen’s Pool & Spa has an amazing team who strive to build a pool that will last a lifetime. They have a competitive Warranty Package and Larsen’s stands behind their work. We appreciate that Larsen's team continues to be responsive to all of our questions even after our pool has been completed. They have proven to share a common goal to help us maintain our investment so we can enjoy it for years to come. We would highly recommend Larsen’s Pool & Spa!

I researched several companies Only to realize the best bet was Larsen’s Pool & Spa. Why, gut instincts. We broke ground April 2022. I was swimming by my birthday June 27, 2022. All together about 6 months but a lot was paperwork for permits and then picking & choosing from all the material and designs they had to offer! I had the Best person to oversee my project which was Reid. If I questioned anything, he knew about it already and had taken care of it. There’s More than you realize doing a project like this bug or small! What an eye opener. Communication was great, availability for questions was great, process was relatively smooth, and the Old saying… You get what you pay for!! There is not Any other Company such as Larson’s- including Eric Larson. He warranties his work~ No other Company does that! Go Look for yourself

We highly recommend Larsen's Pool and Spa to anyone. Our journey in adding a swimming pool to our home began in 2021 with carefully reading a multitude of reviews on various pool builders available to us. Once we narrowed our search we sought the BBB ratings for the two remaining companies. Larsen's Pool and Spa had a stellar rating with only one complaint in 3 years (resolved), compared to their competitor which had 27 complaints. Eric Larsen, owner of Larsen's Pool and Spa, personally introduced himself and welcomed us. From the beginning, we met with professionals of Larsen's Pool and Spa who guided us throughout the entire project. Our buildout began early November and was completed by Mid February. We actually paused the buildout for one month since we traveled overseas, otherwise we would have finished by mid January. Total actual buildout from start to finish took 9 weeks (13 weeks taking our pause into account). We wanted a pool that would blend into our landscape and lake. We therefore chose not to enclose nor surround our pool with pavers. It is set within and surrounded by St. Augustine sod. We also had Larsen's Pool and Spa replace our lanai concrete pavers with the same marble coping used for pool. The workmanship was excellent. We couldn't be happier with the final results. Our pool feels as naturally set in the yard as the lake behind our property. The equipment chosen by Larsen's Pool and Spa is working perfectly and we enjoy the option of controlling the pool light and color via smartphone. Even though we chose not to have a screened enclosure, maintenance has been minimal. We very much enjoy the open air feel when in the pool, and the final envisioned look of our yard was accomplished. Thank you to owner Eric, John M., Brooks T., Justin C. and everyone at Larsen's Pool and Spa for making our vision a reality! AAA+

We did a lot of research and interviewed a lot of companies. We chose Larsen's Pool and Spa because we wanted a modern custom pool and not a cookie-cutter design. We had special considerations due to elevation and from conception to installation the Larsen team knew exactly what to do. They were able to take our ideas and make it a reality. We met with a Larsen principle and construction leads to walk the property and I worked closely with a designer. Material selection was easy with the guidance of the project lead. My project lead, Reid called me at the end of every week to update me on the progress and to discuss the next weeks plan. Reid was very meticulous in overseeing the worker's progress. We had the usual delays expected during this pandemic, but their communication was appreciated. With so many stories of companies overextending themselves to the point that they were unable to finish pools they had started, the discovery/research part of selecting a company was scary. Their reputation speaks for itself, and they put us at ease. We can't say enough about the value for money spent. The Larsen Pool start up crew made weekly visits for one month after pool completion to check the chemicals and to make sure we understood how to maintain the pool and equipment. The pictures do not do this project justice. We are super happy with our decision, and we know you will be also!

My wife and I completed the install of a new pool in the end of 2021, a project of Larsen's Pools. We have been very pleased with the outcome. It was a major project, with a number of subcontractors overseen by the Larsen's project management. Joe was a great help with the pool design. We never imagined we could end up with something this nice in our smallish back yard. One aspect that definitely stood out for us was the professionalism of the subcontractors. They did great work. When I identified areas where corrections were needed, the project managers and subcontractors were prompt and courteous about making needed corrections. It was impressed on me that they appear to use the same teams on each project, so they all know one another pretty well. The project managers Brook and John were professional and kept good oversight of the project. The pool techs Justin and Mike have been great, prompt, helpful. The finance and office support, Cathy and Becca have always provided prompt responses to questions and helpful as well. Apart from the pool itself, I’ve learned that Larsen’s is there to help and provide any prompt follow-ups after the install. I was a bit nervous that we would be on our own with this considerable investment, but they’ve made me realize that they’re here when needed. Having a pool installed can be a nerve-wracking experience - I'm nervous about project problems by nature. But based on Larsen's solid experience, relationship with each of their subcontractors, and sincere prompt service after the sale, we have been able to rest easy, know it's being taken care of, and can say we are so happy to have chosen Larsen's for the project, and look forward to many years enjoying the pool. If you want to talk to me about the project, I've informed Larsen's pools that I'm open to questions/calls.

Our pool project experience was wonderful. This company was kind, friendly and professional from start to finish. The work done was of highest quality and completed in a timely manner. Very happy!
