Pools & Spas Contractors in St. Petersburg, Florida
Swimming pool and hot tub installation, renovation, and service..
Pool and spa contractors design and install in-ground and above-ground swimming pools, hot tubs, and associated equipment including pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems. In-ground pools are constructed from concrete (gunite/shotcrete), fiberglass, or vinyl liner — each with different cost, longevity, and maintenance profiles. Pool construction is one of the most heavily permitted residential projects, requiring fencing, electrical bonding, and drain safety compliance. Ongoing pool maintenance (chemical balancing, equipment service, winterizing) is essential and many builders offer service contracts. Pool renovations including replastering, retiling, and equipment upgrades extend the life of aging pools.

Pool construction takes 6–12 weeks for fiberglass and vinyl, 3–6 months for concrete.
What permits are needed for a swimming pool?
Pool construction requires multiple permits: a building permit for the pool structure, an electrical permit for the pump, lighting, and bonding, a plumbing permit for water supply and drainage, and a fence permit for the required safety barrier. Most jurisdictions require a minimum 4-foot fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate around any in-ground pool. Some areas also require setback distances from property lines and structures, and approval from your HOA if applicable. Your pool contractor should manage all permit applications and inspections as part of the project.
