The best and the worst from each platform. Both, always.
Vaughn’s Pools did an excellent, very professional and super efficient installation of a San Juan fiberglass pool. Had 4 different companies give us bids and Vaughn’s was much less $$. And the completed job came in UNDER BUDGET!! We signed the contract on February 14th, custom pool arrived March 17th, and installation, including the new concrete, was complete on the 28th. I would certainly consider doing business with them for any new or existing pools. Great people!!
These guys took forever to get the job finished. What’s the point of starting work at 6am, disturbing the neighbors, but yet leaving the job by 2pm. Suggestion, start at 7am. Avoid irritating the neighbors, focus on getting the job done and move on to the next project.
We absolutely love our fiberglass pool that was installed in March 2025! We have been able to swim in it nearly every day. It has helped immensely with getting exercise daily on our joints. It’s so much better than going to the beach, dealing with sea life, sea weed, and traffic. Thank you so much for improving our back yard and health.
We couldn’t be happier with our new pool and the entire experience with the Vaughn family! From the very first consultation, it was clear we were working with true professionals who genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. The owner, Walter, has been in the pool business for over 40 years. Walter was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly responsive—always keeping us informed every step of the way. Installation, led by Jason (Walter's son), was smooth and right on schedule - a rare thing these days! The crew was respectful of our property and left everything spotless each day. What really impressed us was their attention to detail— Walter stopped by the job site almost every day before 6am to check on the progress. From first dig to first dip in the pool was less than 20 days! Now we have a beautiful backyard oasis that will be enjoyed for years to come. We’ve already recommended Vaughn's Pools to several friends and neighbors, and we’ll continue to sing their praises. If you’re thinking about installing a pool, do yourself a favor and give them a call. Absolute 10/10!
If you are looking for a reliable, affordable, honest pool company, look no further!! Walter and his son were absolutely amazing to work with! They kept us updated throughout the entire process and were always more than happy to answer any questions we had. Our fiberglass pool install took 6 days from start to finish (thats even with a day in the middle that got rained out). HIGHLY recommend giving them a call and getting a quote! Very professional and just all around wonderful to work with! Will be back when we get ready for a fiberglass hot tub!
We just finished a 14x28 vinyl pool with the Vaughn’s and are very happy with the work done! From dig to finish in 11 days (not weekends) with one day of bad weather delay and a major holiday in the way. Very considerate of our home and existing grass, early on the site with Jason each day, email communication consistently from Jason on next steps, and transparency on the estimate with Walter. Loving our upgraded salt system and other features well worth the money. We would encourage any friend to consider a pool with Vaughan because of the excellent work, professionalism, and help in making summer pool memories with our family year round.

Learn everything about Vaughn's of Pensacola — their reviews, two Florida licenses, and what customers report! Only at FloridaPoolz.
Vaughn's of Pensacola works from West Nine Mile Road in Pensacola, Escambia County, on two current Florida licenses — pool contractor CPC057331 and registered pool license RP0067392, both dating from September 2001. Twenty-five years on the state's register. Google lists them as Vaughns Pools - San Juan Pools, which places them among the fiberglass dealers rather than the gunite builders: San Juan supplies moulded shells, and installing one is a different job from pouring a pool on site. Their own headline covers northwest Florida and south Alabama.
Google has them at 4.1 from 44 reviews. The Florida average across the 346 builders on this directory is 4.52, so they sit around four tenths below the middle — a real gap on a record of that size, though not a severe one.
Nine reviewers name their professionalism and four the quality of the build, and the warmest accounts describe the family running the business personally from the first consultation onward.
The clearest complaint is about how the site was run rather than what was built: a customer describes the job taking far too long, with crews starting at six in the morning — early enough to disturb the neighbours — and leaving by two in the afternoon. That is a scheduling and courtesy complaint, and on a residential street it is the kind that makes a build unpleasant even when the pool is fine.
Pool repair and servicing are what their own pages set out, alongside fiberglass shell installation through the San Juan dealership. Their headline claims building across northwest Florida and south Alabama. If you want a poured concrete pool rather than a moulded shell, establish that on the first call.
Ask whether you are buying a fiberglass shell or a poured pool, and price both — it changes the timetable, the shape options and how repairs work later. Agree working hours in writing and tell them what your neighbours will tolerate; the one detailed complaint on record is about a six a.m. start and a two p.m. finish. Get a completion date with a consequence attached. Ask which of the two licenses covers your job, and ask for the insurance certificate separately.
Starts with Vaughn’s Inc of Pensacola — Pensacola, Escambia County. My project is somewhere else
Answered from this record — not by the business.
Two current licenses, both from September 2001: pool contractor CPC057331 and registered pool license RP0067392. Twenty-five years. Ask which covers your job and ask for the insurance certificate separately.
Google lists them as a San Juan Pools dealer, which means moulded fiberglass shells. That is a different job from a pool poured on site, with different timescales, shapes and repair paths. Confirm which you are being quoted for.
4.1 from 44 Google reviews, against a Florida average of 4.52 across the 346 builders on this directory — roughly four tenths below the middle, on a record large enough to mean something.
That the job took far too long, and that crews started at six in the morning, disturbing the neighbours, and left by two in the afternoon. It is about how the site was run rather than the finished pool.
Working hours, and a completion date with a consequence for missing it. Both go directly to the one substantial complaint on their record.
