Where the work actually is, not just the office.

Last sign of life August 2026, from a new review.
Straight from the state register.
The best and the worst from each platform. Both, always.
We had such an exceptional experience with Apex Pavers! It was a large project, included a pool renovation and heater, removal of all of the old pavers, an extension of the existing patio with new stairways, and installation of beautiful travertine. Howard, our project manager, was so informative and accommodating when we were delayed almost a year! He was always available, and made sure that all of our questions and changes were fully taken care of. The installation team was the best, the pool and patio are perfect! I would highly recommend the whole team!
In 2025 I used Apex for a major paving, pool deck and pool plastering project. The job was fraught with issues, mainly because of poorly trained and non English speaking workers. Eventually the project was finished to my satisfaction and I paid them in full. The entire project cost around $65,000. I was issued a three year warranty on workmanship. Recently I noticed a discoloration with my main pool drain cover. After removing the screws, I could not get the cover loose in order to bring it to the surface for cleaning. It appeared to have been plastered in place. For several weeks, I asked to have it checked out but nobody came. Now, their vice president of operations has informed me that they have no intention of honoring the warranty, and they will not send anyone to inspect the drain cover. Neither she nor the owner will even agree to speak with me. I learned that Apex has filed for bankruptcy, so I assume this is the real reason they refuse to honor their warranty. I cannot recommend Apex Pavers and Pools to anyone for any type of project.
After significant due diligence, starting with 7 pool companies, we selected APEX. Howard was more than a sales person - he patiently partnered with us thru many iterations and sealed the deal when he had one of his more technical folks help us really compare, but on lay person terms, why their approach was best. They did our decking, walkway out back, and awesome pool with sun-shelf and champaign spa. Compared to work on some other properties in our new community, they take great care of the job site itself. While it is a quality product maybe most impressive is their responsiveness to any follow up questions or challenges. Such a pleasure.
*****Buyers Beware***** Whatever you do, do not do business with this company. They have filed bankruptcy and are going out of business. They have left dozens of people with unfinished pools after paying for them. These poor people cannot do anything about it. It is a complete loss to them. A simple Google search will verify this. They are doing everything they can to simply steal as much money as possible before the bankruptcy is finalized. They installed our pool here. I noticed some of the pavers around the pool were starting to sink. I contacted them to come and pour a little more sand underneath them to even them back out. Pretty simple request and easy enough job. They told me they were a little behind and it would take a couple weeks for them to get out. They never reached back out to me. I sent them several text asking them if they were able to get me on the schedule with no reply. I ended up just calling the office again and talking to somebody else to remind them about it. It was very clear from the start that they did not want to come out. The pool came with a warranty, of course, and this service was supposed to be free. They then called me and told me since I had just bought the home that they would not warranty the work. I read through the contract and it clearly states that it has a five-year warranty, regardless. Just like a car or anything else. It doesn’t matter who owns the car then. A three year 36,000 mile warranty is just that. They then sent me an estimate for $1000. I called another Paver company and they are coming out today to fix it for $100. It is very clear why they are going out of business. They do extremely bad business. If you call around and get quotes, you will notice that they are the most expensive anyway. Do not waste your time with doing business with this company. I would take them to small claims court, but there is nothing they will be able to do as they have filed bankruptcy. I would just be standing in line with everybody else that they have screwed.
Have to post a "shout 0ut" to David and Pepe! They did an incredible job. This was an "exterior" job that required them to go in/out of my home to get to the atrium ~ they had to come through my garage and down an interior hallway to get to it. They put down a tarp to protect my brand new floor and were very cautious as they carried in/out the pavers and their supplies as to not ding my walls. They were completely delightful and the step is exactly what we needed and it looks amazing!
Apex was much more expensive than local companies and we decided to go with them anyway. The project was so mismanaged and had to have their subcontractors replastert twice. I Will never recommend this company. No communication or information at all. No thank you. Update 10 months later and still not swimming, refilled pool 4 times and 3times had to replaster. Still not sure if it will have to be replastered again. Here is a picture from this morning, filled with missing cover and plaster with lines and dents. I have given up with this place if you use this company good luck. Upper management makes promises that they can’t keep. Apex watched 4 replasters and still let the contractor fill the pool. I have neighbors swimming 3 months after signing. Apex never again!!!!Still not swimming !!!!!! We are using the neighbors pool that was started 4 months ago.This place is so mismanaged that I am surprised that this management is still in place.Still not swimming!!! Wow, go with the other guys.Still not swimming 11 months later!!!! Update!!!! Still not swimming!! You come to your own conclusion. Good luck If anyone wants to see the incompetence please reach out. We are sourcing Attorneys to losses. 10-23-UPDATE!! Still not swimming!!!!

Learn everything about Apex Pavers & Pools — their reviews, licenses, standing, service area, and what they actually build! Only at FloridaPoolz.
Apex Pavers & Pools works from South East Monterey Road in Stuart, Martin County, on two current Florida licenses — pool contractor CPC1458696 since June 2015 and registered pool license RP252555006 since January 2007. Their domain dates from 2006 and the site was updated in August 2026. Pavers are in the name for a reason: driveways, decks and outdoor living sit alongside new pool construction, renovation, repair, servicing, spas and commercial work. 24 project photographs are published.
Google has them at 4.4 from 189 reviews. That is one of the largest review records on this directory, and against a Florida average of 4.52 across 346 builders it sits about a tenth below the middle — near enough to typical that the number itself is unremarkable. The volume is what makes it useful: 189 reviews describe a company doing a lot of work, and both the good and the bad accounts are detailed enough to act on.
The praise is about the finished article. Three reviewers name the quality of the build, and the fullest account describes a customer who started with seven pool companies, chose Apex, and worked through many iterations with a salesman who behaved like a partner rather than a closer.
The criticism clusters on the middle of the job rather than the end of it. Two customers raise payment and billing. One describes a major paving, deck and plastering project beset by problems they attribute to poorly trained crews, finished eventually. Another describes a pool completed to a result they were happy with, reached through a long process with interruptions, delays and inconsistent communication. A third could not get a quote answered and found the price high. The shape is consistent: people tend to like what Apex builds and to find the getting there harder than they expected.
They publish pages for eighteen places across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches — Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Hobe Sound, Hutchinson Island, Jupiter, Tequesta, and on down through Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Wellington, Lake Worth, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Boca Raton. Those pages are one template with the town changed rather than eighteen pieces of local writing, so read them as a coverage list and not as evidence of a local presence in each. The licensed office is in Stuart.
Get the payment schedule tied to inspected stages, and get it in writing — billing is the one subject two separate customers raised. Ask who will actually be on your site and who supervises them daily, since the most detailed complaint is about crew training. Ask for a written communication rule: one named contact, and how quickly you should expect a reply. Their site lists seven different phone numbers, so establish which one is yours. The two licenses are real and checkable above; ask for the insurance certificate separately.
Claims on their site we could check against a record.
Their site carries named ones including Top 50 Builder and 2 award badges published on the site. We have not written to the awarding publications, so this rests on their own published record.

Two current licenses: pool contractor CPC1458696 since June 2015 and registered pool license RP252555006 since January 2007. Ask which covers your job, and ask for the insurance certificate separately — Florida publishes nothing that would confirm cover.
4.4 from 189 Google reviews, against a Florida average of 4.52 across the 346 builders on this directory. That is roughly a tenth below the middle, on one of the largest review records here. The number is ordinary; the volume behind it is what makes it dependable.
They concentrate on the process rather than the result. Two customers raise payment and billing. One describes a large paving, deck and plastering job beset by problems they put down to poorly trained crews. Another was happy with the finished pool but describes delays, interruptions and inconsistent communication getting there. One could not get a quote answered.
They publish pages for eighteen places from Vero Beach down to Boca Raton, but those pages are a single template with the town name changed rather than separate local writing. Treat it as the area they will travel to, not as eighteen local operations. The licensed office is in Stuart.
New pools, renovation, repair and servicing, spas, commercial work, and the paving and outdoor living side the name refers to — driveways and decks. There are 24 project photographs on the site.
