FSPA members make Top 50 Builder list
The June 13 issue of
Pool & Spa News
announced
the latest list of Top 50 Builders. Criteria for selection is
more than just annual revenue, it also includes industry
involvement, web presence, community involvement
and staff. I am proud to recognize all six Florida builders
named to the list are members of the Florida Swimming
Pool Association (FSPA).
Congratulations to All Seasons Pools, Sanford (#17);
Van Kirk & Sons Pools & Spas, Deerfield Beach (#30);
Coast to Coast Pools, Sarasota (#38); Cox Pools, Panama
City Beach (#41); A&G Concrete Pools, Fort Pierce (#44); and Tampa Bay
Pools, Brandon (#49).
Based on the data provided to
Pool & Spa News
, in aggregate these six
builders generated more than $80
million in revenue (construction
only) last year and built close to
2,000 swimming pools. Doing
some quick math using the number
of pools they reported built and
the total permits pulled in Florida
in 2013, these companies built
12% of the new construction.
Using the average price of their
swimming pools mul t ipl ied by
permi ts pul led, the swimming
pool industry in Florida generated
approximately $600 million from
new pool construction in 2013.
Wow, $600million isan impressive
number, especially considering it is
Congratulations to
FSPA members listed
