Reviews worth reading
The best and the worst from each platform. Both, always.
Dave and his team did not hesitate to take over our pool project. We had an issue with previous contractor who left us with a hole basically, some work done. But, Dave took over no problem. He was very patient with us as we tried to get it all together and the end result is fantastic! Better than we could have imagined! Thanks to everyone who brought our pool project to the finish line! We highly recommend them, especially in the era of pool contractors leaving projects or not doing it correctly! With these guys you cannot go wrong!!
In March of 2025 the pool I had built by Van nest Pools was completed. I talked with 6 other pool builders some had a lower price but I chose to go with Dave Van nest because he seemed like someone that was gonna keep his word and do a quality job. Dave explained everything to me during each step of the process and either answered all my phone calls immediately or called me back in a timely manner. Overall I am very happy with the pool it is exactly what I wanted and the quality that Dave promised. If I were going to have another pool built in the future I’d call Van nest pools to build it.
We recently had a new pool installed by Van Nest pools. When we were doing our research on having a pool installed it was very concerning. You're always going to have negative and positive reviews. It's very nerve racking. We had met with 3 pool companies in person and a couple couldn't even bother to meet with us. They just did everything through e-mail. Dave from Van Nest pools was a great surprise. Not only did he have good reviews but he is very laid back. He answers any and all questions that you may have. He's not pushy whatsoever. He gave us a time line on how long it would take from start to finish. He explained when and what they would be doing the whole way throughout the process. We had awesome weather during the install and it was completed within the allotted time frame. I can't say enough how great Dave was with us. I would totally recommend Van Nest Pools

About Van Nest Pools LLC
Van Nest Pools of Rockledge: what they build on the Brevard coast, and what license CPC1460251 actually covers. Only at FloridaPoolz.
Who they are
Van Nest Pools works out of Rockledge on the Brevard County space coast. Florida pool contractor license CPC1460251 has been current since June 2023, and the domain was registered a few months earlier that year, so license and business started together. They describe themselves as licensed and insured; the license is verifiable on the state register, the insurance is not something any public record will confirm for them or anyone else.
What they build
New pool construction, renovation, repair and servicing, spas and outdoor living work. They keep a blog running — the most recent post, on regular pool care, went up in August 2026 — which is a small sign that someone is actually minding the business rather than leaving a site to sit. No separate area pages are published, so Rockledge and the surrounding Brevard coast is the reasonable assumption until you ask.
What their reviews say
5.0 from 28 Google reviews, against a Florida pool builder average of 4.52. Twenty-eight reviews without a single detractor is a genuinely good record — not the settled certainty that two hundred would give you, but well past the handful where one enthusiastic month explains everything. Five customers praised professionalism independently and three the communication. No critical theme was raised by anyone.
Worth asking about
The company is young: licensed since June 2023, trading from early the same year. A clean record over three years says less than a clean record over fifteen, so ask how many pools they have finished rather than how they are rated. They publish a set of project photographs — ask which are complete builds of their own from dig to water.

Questions homeowners ask
Answered from this record — not by the business.
Is Van Nest Pools licensed?
Yes. Florida pool contractor license CPC1460251 has been current since June 2023 and is current on the state register.
How do their reviews compare with other Florida pool builders?
5.0 on Google against a state average of 4.52, on 28 reviews. A clean sweep at that volume is a strong signal, though a shorter record than the largest builders can show.
How long have they been trading?
The domain dates from March 2023 and the license from June of the same year, so roughly three years. Ask how many pools they have completed rather than relying on the rating alone.
Which areas do they cover?
They work from Rockledge in Brevard County. No separate area pages are published, so confirm coverage directly if you are outside the immediate space coast.
What do customers praise?
Professionalism, raised independently by five customers, and communication by three. No critical theme was raised by anyone.
