A heartfelt thank you to Pete for your invaluable expertise and dedication in helping us with our pool design and installation. We're incredibly grateful to have had an expert like you guiding us through the entire process of installing our inground pool. From the initial design phase to the final installation, your knowledge and attention to detail made all the difference. We truly appreciate the time and effort you put into ensuring everything was perfect, and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you again for your exceptional work and support!

Our pool was installed three years ago. Still no final inspection. Most importantly, the pool cage was not grounded. This is very concerning as it is attached to our home and I am worried about possible danger should lightning strike on or near. Just about everything on the pool has broken and we had a major expensive leak. The travertine pool pavers have all sunken and need to be replaced as the ground was not prepared properly. The cheap salt water filtration system has broken twice and we now have resorted to chlorine.Today the pool heater stopped working. I have emailed and called Reef Pools owner Pete Dospel at least a half dozen times, and not received a response. Be warned your pool may look good initially, but good luck with any warranty or aftermarket issues and make certain you get a final inspection. Can’t sell your house without one.

Very Satisfied. It’s been a few years since they’ve installed our pool, but last year our glass waterline tile started shattering & flaking off. Turned out it was a faulty (and expensive) glass mosaic tile that was discontinued with common complaints nationwide with NPT. Pete coordinated with the supplier for replacements, free of charge & had them installed. These guys came through and took care of our issue without hesitation. It’s nice to have a company return your calls long after the warranty expired. I highly recommend them.

Would never recommend. Since they done resurfacing calcium is so high hard to control pH level. When I contacted them to file a warranty claim no one contacted me back

Quick Quote

Starts with Reef Pools, LLC — Holmes Beach, 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 Holmes Beach area. Not to more than one at a time.

About Reef Pools, LLC

We checked Reef Pools of Holmes Beach against every pool builder in Florida — license CPC1459397, what they build, and where they stand.

Who they are

Reef Pools works from Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach, out on Anna Maria Island in Manatee County. Their Florida pool contractor license, CPC1459397, has been current since 2020. Building on a barrier island is its own discipline — access, salt air and setbacks all bite differently there — so a builder based on the island is worth something if that is where your pool is going.

What homeowners say

Google shows 4.1 from 27 reviews, against a Florida average of 4.52 — a little under it, on a moderate sample. Five reviewers name the quality of the finished build, which is the one thing customers here agree on. No complaint recurs across enough separate reviewers to form a theme, so there is no specific fault to report, only a rating slightly below the middle.

What they build

New pool construction, renovation, repair and ongoing service, with spas, water features and outdoor living work. Project photographs are published on the site.

One thing to check

The website has not been substantially changed since 2024 and shows no activity after October 2025. That says nothing certain about whether they are busy — plenty of established builders leave a working site alone — but it does mean the gallery is not a current record. Call (941) 909-7665 and ask what they have finished this year.

Questions homeowners ask

Answered from this record — not by the business.

Is Reef Pools licensed?

Yes. Florida pool contractor license CPC1459397 is on record in the company's name and has been current since 2020.

What do their reviews say?

Google shows 4.1 from 27 reviews, against a Florida average of 4.52. Five reviewers name the quality of the finished build. No complaint recurs often enough across separate customers to name one.

Is their website current?

Not especially. It has not been substantially changed since 2024 and shows no activity after October 2025, so treat the gallery as a portfolio rather than a record of recent work.
