Hickman Marcite LLC

Who they are

Hickman Marcite works out of Tampa, holding Florida pool contractor license CPC1457015, current since March 2005 — twenty-one unbroken years. Marcite is the plaster finish applied to a pool shell, and the name tells you where the business is centred. Their website, by contrast, was only registered in August 2026, so a very long license history sits behind a brand new web presence.

What they build

Pool renovation, repair and servicing, new construction, spas and outdoor living work. Resurfacing and interior finish work is the natural centre of a marcite business, so if that is your job this is a specialist rather than a generalist. They list eleven towns across Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco, but those pages are one template with the city swapped, so treat the list as travel range and confirm your address.

What their reviews say

There is barely a review record: no Google rating, and 3.7 from three reviews on Yelp. Three accounts is not a rating and cannot be compared with the Florida pool builder average of 4.52 in either direction. Given the website went up only weeks ago, the absence is easily explained — twenty-one years of work simply has not been collected anywhere public.

Worth asking about

Ask about the resurfacing specifically: what finish they are quoting, how many years they expect it to last, what the preparation involves and what the warranty covers on the surface. Those questions distinguish a good marcite contractor from a cheap one far better than any rating would. Then ask for three customers from the last two years and two Tampa addresses you can look at, because with three reviews on file references are your only real evidence.
