Allstar Pools of Sarasota Inc

Who they are

AllStar Pools of Sarasota is registered to a post box in Sarasota, Sarasota County, though their own website addresses Bradenton — so establish which side of the county line you are dealing with. Their Florida contractor license, CPC1459666, was issued in August 2021 and is current — five years — while their domain dates only from 2023. They describe themselves as family-owned and as number one; the first is their own account and the second is contradicted by their customer rating. One thing on the record needs stating before anything else, because a customer raised it rather than us: they describe the company changing hands partway through their installation. We cannot confirm a change of ownership from the public record. If you are considering them, ask who owns the business today and how long the present crews have been with it.

What they build

New pool construction, renovation, ongoing pool service, spas and hot tubs, water features, outdoor living work, and commercial pools alongside residential. Seven lines. They publish a full set of twenty-four project photographs, which is the most substantial thing on this profile and worth looking at — they updated their custom-pools page at the end of July, so the site is being tended. They publish no opening hours, two phone numbers and a general email address.

Where they work

Sarasota on the license and Bradenton on their own site, so the Sarasota and Manatee County coast is the working assumption. They publish no separate pages for individual towns, so there is no documented service area, and anything beyond those two counties is worth confirming by phone. There was activity on the site at the end of July.

What the record shows

Google has them at 2.3 from three reviews, and both halves of that sentence need weighing carefully because they pull in opposite directions. Three reviews is the smallest sample on this list. A sample that small cannot establish a pattern, no theme reaches our reporting floor, and it would be unfair to treat three people as a verdict on five years of licensed trading. But we are not going to hide what those three say either, because two of them are written, detailed and serious, and both describe the same things. One reports the company changing hands during their installation, phone calls not being returned, and workers not turning up. The other says the company does not stand behind its construction, that the owner did not finish the pool to the contract, and that their lanai tiles are now sinking. Sinking tiles is a substrate problem, which is the expensive kind. So: two written accounts, both alleging work left incomplete against contract and both alleging the company became unreachable — and no positive written account at all to set against them. That is not a statistical case, it is a warning, and it is the honest way to describe what is here. If you are considering them, do not take this page as the assessment. Read all three reviews yourself. Ask for the addresses of three pools finished since the ownership question arose, and go and look at them. And structure any contract so that no payment runs ahead of work completed and inspected, because that is precisely what the two accounts on record describe going wrong.
