English Worldwide Pool & Spa Inc

Who they are

English Worldwide Pool & Spa works from NW 62nd Avenue in Margate, Broward County. Their Florida contractor license, CPC1456927, was issued in December 2004 and is current — twenty-two years of unbroken certification, which is the strongest fact on this page. Their domain dates from 2013. They describe themselves as family owned and as number one, the first being their own account and the second not a position anyone can hold on the record. Their hours are the shortest on this list — ten in the morning to four in the afternoon on weekdays, and two hours on a Saturday — and their website has had no activity since 2023.

What they build

New pool construction, renovation and resurfacing, repairs, ongoing pool service, spas and hot tubs, water features and outdoor living work. Seven lines. They publish a full set of twenty-four project photographs, which is the most useful part of the site, and no email address, so the two published phone numbers are the way in. On the evidence resurfacing is where their record is strongest: the warmest account is from a customer whose pool was resurfaced, who came to them on a friend's referral and describes them as professional and timely.

Where they work

Margate and the surrounding Broward County area. They publish no separate pages for individual towns, so there is no documented service area — Margate, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach and northern Broward is the sensible reading, and anything further worth confirming by phone. With a website untouched since 2023, no published email and short opening hours, there is little to research here: expect to reach them by phone inside a narrow window, and treat how easily you do so as part of the assessment, for the reason below.

What the record shows

Google has them at 3.3 from seven reviews, which is more than a point below the 4.52 Florida average. Seven reviews is a very small sample, so the number alone would mean little — but this is a case where the reviews say something specific and consistent enough to matter more than the score. Three customers name their professionalism, and the positive accounts are genuinely warm: one resurfacing job done professionally and on time on a friend's referral, and one where the customer says the company exceeded expectations from quote to completion and the owner added a water feature. That is the good half. The other half is two separate accounts describing the same sequence, and because two customers describe the same thing it clears our floor for reporting a pattern. Both say the work started well and then stopped. One had been waiting eight months for their pool to be completed and says the owner refused to return calls, texts or email, adding that they had also referred the company to somebody else. The other puts it more bluntly: that the company works quickly at the beginning once it has most of your money, and then stops, will not call back, and nine months later the job is still unfinished. Two customers independently describing payment-then-silence is the single most useful thing on this page, and it is not something a twenty-two-year license offsets. If you are considering them, the protection is structural rather than conversational: never let payments run ahead of completed and inspected work, agree a written schedule with a defined consequence for delay, and hold a meaningful retention until the job is signed off. Their record on resurfacing is good — the risk on the evidence here is on longer builds.
