Working with Tom has been an absolute breath of fresh air from start to finish. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely attentive to every detail of what we envisioned for our backyard. Unlike other places that can push a cookie-cutter approach, He truly listened to our ideas, respected our vision, and were remarkably quick to turn our thoughts into concrete concepts and stunning designs. His expertise made the entire planning phase seamless and exciting. While we are still getting our ducks in a row before breaking ground, when the time comes to finally move forward, we can’t wait to work with Tom ! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an stress-free, custom design process!

Tom Cat Pools did an outstanding job building our pool and our new lanai. Tom was hands-on throughout the entire process, he kept everything organized and on schedule, and was always available to answer questions. The crews were professional, efficient, and respectful of our neighborhood. We love swimming in our new pool and couldn’t be happier with the final result and highly recommend Tom Cat Pools.

We also appreciated the communication and consideration shown to our neighbors, which made the experience smooth and stress-free for everyone. We highly recommend Tom Cat Pools.”

About Tom Cat Pools

Tom Cat Pools of Lakewood Ranch: a brand new Manatee county builder, and exactly what to ask. Only at FloridaPoolz.

Who they are

Tom Cat Pools works out of Lakewood Ranch in Manatee County, holding Florida pool contractor license CPC1461526, current since April 2026. The domain was registered in March of the same year. This is a brand new company — the license is a few months old — and the public record reflects that rather than anything about the quality of the work.

What they build

New pool construction, renovation, repair and servicing, spas, water features, screen enclosures and outdoor living work — a full published offer. No separate area pages are published, so Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding Manatee and Sarasota area is the working assumption. A partial set of project photographs is published on their site.

What their reviews say

5.0 from six Google reviews, against a Florida pool builder average of 4.52. Six reviews is not a rating and should not be treated as one — it cannot show how a builder handles a delay, a change order or a disagreement, and comparing it with the state average would read more into six accounts than they can carry. Six customers praised professionalism, which is every review on record saying the same thing, and that is worth exactly as much as six people's opinion.

Worth asking about

Everything a profile would normally answer, you will need to ask. How many pools have they completed and where. Who holds the license, who runs builds, and who was doing this work before April 2026 — most new pool companies are experienced people under a new name, and if that is the case here it is the most reassuring thing they could tell you. Ask for two addresses you can drive past and two customers you can call.

Quick Quote

Starts with Tom Cat Pools — Lakewood Ranch, Manatee County. My project is somewhere else

We want to make Quick Quote deserve its name. Unopened after an hour, it may pass to another licensed builder who covers the Lakewood Ranch area. Not to more than one at a time.

Questions homeowners ask

Answered from this record — not by the business.

Is Tom Cat Pools licensed?

Yes. Florida pool contractor license CPC1461526 has been current since April 2026 and is current on the state register.

They show five stars — how much does that prove?

Very little. It rests on six Google reviews, which cannot show how a builder handles a delay or a disagreement. It should not be compared with the state average.

How new are they?

The license dates from April 2026 and the domain from March 2026, so a matter of months. Ask who was doing this work before then — experienced people under a new name is a common and reassuring answer.

What do they build?

New pools, renovation, repair, servicing, spas, water features, screen enclosures and outdoor living work.

What should I ask them?

How many pools they have completed and where, who runs builds day to day, and for two addresses you can visit and two customers you can call.
