Michal Wierzchowski

Shane B
“I don't often write reviews, but in this case, Larsen's has earned it. From the start of design to the completion of the pool, I have found everyone to be very professional and considerate of my time and concerns. If I had it to do all over again, I would choose Larsen's.”
Roland Daniels
“With a project this complex, of course there are a few issues that had to be addressed. Drew and his team at Larson’s were always quick to resolve every problem. Very nice to see this sort of attention to detail and customer service. We are extremely happy with the final product.”

magda gonzalez
“Larsen pools service department has been fantastic! Used them to fix a jet after install was done. Called 2 years later about an under water light, and not only did they get it fixed within a week, but they also got it done within the warranty time frame. Thank you, Mike! And Cathy too. We love our Larsens pool!“
Robert Pavlicek
“I had a great experience with Larsen's Pool & Spa. The team ( Jeff, Drew and John) was professional, reliable and kept everything running smoothly. Their app was super easy to use and incredibly helpful-it allowed them to upload pictures of the daily work, which kept me informed every step of the way, Highly recommend!“
Andrea Monteiro (Andrea Monteiro)
“Excellent service, very professional on all ends from project design and management to cleanup to inspection assistance. This was truly a stress free project for us, especially after experiencing so many other bad ones. We wanted to make sure that we went for a good company for a project as big as a pool, and we got just that.”
Heidi Peralta
“What is there to say about Larsen Pools, except they are a high quality pool company. From sales to installation to service, they are one of the best. they were awesome from start to finish in providing me and my family with an excellent pool experience. I would highly recommend them for anyone that would like to build a pool.“
Nick V
“Larsen, without a doubt, has the skill to complete a wonderful pool project very fast. They went from digging to everything being complete in 60 days. I was expecting my backyard to become a mess and a disaster zone, but they kept the area under control and extremely clean. Their service is fantastic and definitely recommended to others!“
sahned jaafar
“These guys are amazing to work with! We have been working with them for years and I must say every aspect of the pool building process is top notch. They keep demanding standards and it really shows in their finished product. I highly recommend them for your pool and spa projects. You can sleep easy at night knowing you’ve made the right choice!”
Jack Lopresto
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Larsen’s Pool! From going under contract to project completion, all members of their team were responsive, helpful and ensured that everything was completed to satisfaction. We were pleased with how quickly our project was completed and have been using our Pool and Spa every day since it was completed!”
Emily Sawin
“Larsen’s recently completed my pool project and I couldn’t be happier. From Dan in sales to Reid as Project Manager the process was seamless and professional. Never did a call, email or text go unanswered. Workers were prompt, quality of work was excellent. The pool came out beyond what I was expecting. Choosing Larsens for my pool was truly the best decision I could have made.“
Joey Orti18
“We wanted to thank Larsen’s pool for bringing our backyard oasis to life. It was perhaps the fastest process from start of dig to completion. Certainly as a first time homeowner and first time pool build, there were some hiccups along the way, but once I reached out my concerns were immediately addressed to make sure a perfect result. We have recommended their company to several friends since."
Francesca D.
"Larsen’s Pool & Spa came highly recommended to us by a coworker who had used them. We did a complete remodel of the pool and decking we previously had. We had a great experience working with Larsen’s. The owner reached out to us numerous times along the way to check in on the project. They answered all of our questions and addressed every concern we had. Our backyard is now a paradise thanks to Larsen’s! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“
Nora Brachna
“Larsen's pool surpassed my expectation in building our pool. The quality of workmanship was superior to my expectation. Communications through the process was excellent as well. The pricing was not the least expensive, but I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. That being said, the cost has been fully justified and appropriate and I would do it again with no hesitation. Larsen's and all their reps were EXCELLENT!”
Jeff Hammonds
“Larsen’s pool! Eric Larson, who is the owner of this pool company, who we bought our pool from over 10 years ago, is amazing! Recently I had to find a salt cell. I called him to see if he knew where and who could install it. He remembered us from 10 years ago and had is pool technician come replace our salt cell system that same day. Amazing service. Highly recommend. His service tech also re-educated me on how to properly care for our pool.”
John Savage
“This was a great experience. Eric Larsen was very involved in overall business process. Drew Richards was the project manager, he did a fantastic job. He kept us informed on the progress of our project. Drew went out of his way to answer all of our questions. Building an ingrown pool is not a simple process, the entire Larsen's team was fabulous. We highly recommend this team if quality and professionalism are important to you.“
James Fairman
“We LOVE 💕 ❤️ Our pool! Larsen’s did a FANTASTIC job from start to finish!!🥰 We had several neighbors stop by inquiring and wanting to see end results; they were amazed of our well designed pool! I’m glad we selected Larsen’s for our project and highly recommend anyone looking for a quality pool to do the same. You won’t regret it! (Yard cleared Oct 5, 2020 – Pool filled January 14, 2021) Many thanks to the Larsen’s Pool and Spa Family⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
Piller M
“From the initial meeting with Eric and the team at Larsen's I could easily see why this company is head and shoulders better than the rest I met with. Very professional and knowledgeable team that proved to be committed to delivering the pool of my dreams. My pool and deck are complete now and the entire process has been flawless. Each crew was professional, efficient and skilled. I couldn't be happier with my pool and my experience with Larsen's!“
Scott Taylor
“Larsens pools made our pool remodel a great experience from the friendly initial phone call to picking out our pool surface, tile and decking it was very smooth process with communication every step of the way. If we had questions they responded quickly and always provided excellent customer service! The timeline they gave from start to finish was spot on even with a few rain delays!! We are swimming and enjoying our pool again! Thank you so much!”
Kimberly Wheaton
“I tell my friends and family that I hired the "crème de la crème" of pool companies, and it shows. From design, construction, project management and being patient answering rookie pool owner questions (that continue I might add!), Larsen's is professional and dedicated to their customers! I have a top of the line pool and it shows! Bonus – the project was completed ahead of schedule and I was literally able to "swim" into the new year just like I dreamed!”
Julie Daleiden
“Larsen's team of contractors were friendly and professional. All of them were experienced and did quality work. They were willing to do any special tweaks needed throughout the process. Our conversations gave me confidence, providing me info and support. The result is a beautiful 20 x 40 pool with privacy wall and mosaics. I can see why Larsen's has NO complaints, with their great attention to detail. I was so thankful that I chose them for my pool contractor.”
Donna Reed
“Although this was a long process, it was worth the wait. From the first consult to final inspection the Larsen team stayed engaged to ensure I was satisfied. John was amazing and quickly addressed anything I had concern about. The entire team did a fantastic job bringing my vision to life. The pool was existing and doesn't even look the same now, LOVE IT!!! The spa and expanded patio took this project to another level. I appreciate the attention to detail and quality of work.”
LaDonna Jones
“We live in Wesley Chapel. Larsen’s finished our pool in July. To say we were pleased is an understatement. From the initial design meeting with Adam to the first dig to the completed project, everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. The project manager, Reed, was available to answer questions and explained the process in detail. One thing that is most impressive is that they stand by their work. Thank you, Larsen’s pool and spa. John and Dwana Huffstutter, Wesley Chapel”
Dwana Huffstutter
“We were new to Tampa, interviewed and contacted multiple pool companies; made the absolute best choice when we chose Larsen’s Pool and Spa!! We love our pool—done in the 2020 pandemic, with great communication from everyone: Adam, Reid, John, and all their sub contractors where great—any question or concern was always addressed and answered promptly; even later after finished, if there was a concern it was fixed. These people know the pool process and the extras needed to make anyone happy!!”
Jane Pavlicek
“We had an excellent experience with Larsen’s. From the initial design meeting to the completion the entire Larsen’s team was top notch to deal with. Adam was patient and knowledgeable during the design process and Zach was excellent throughout construction. All questions were answered promptly and we always felt that our concerns were addressed quickly and with our happiness with the end product in mind. The office staff was also great to deal with. We will not hesitate to recommend Larsen’s!”
Leslie Miller
“We are delighted that we chose Larsen's Pool & Spa.The demolition of our deteriorating Marcite finish was incredibly thorough making the installation of the new PebbleSheen flawless. A less-expensive estimate cited only acid and pressing washing as preparation, which would have been a disaster in the future if a new finish were to be applied over the old finish. It's clear Larsen knows how to do things right the first time. Cheaper doesn't mean better when it comes to an investment in your home. Highly recommend.“
Allyn Divito
“We contracted with Larsen's pools to resurface, retile, install coping and pebble tech finish for our pool as well as install travertine throughout our outdoor area. Their promptness for setting up appointments and coming out when they said they would was much appreciated! They have handled everything promptly and addressed any and all concerns we may have had during the process. John and Mr. Larsen were always attentive and met our every need. The final product is just stunning! Very professional and customer oriented.”
Laurie Lasko
“Larsen pools was amazing to work with! Everyone that we worked with was professional and courteous. Dan provided great designs that the six other pool companies we interviewed never thought of. Reid was informative and attentive to our project. The entire pool dig and construction was done on time and on budget. The price at Larsen was comparable to other companies but the interactions with the employees was what sold us. You can find our family in our back yard whenever we get the chance. The finished project exceeded our expectations!”
Kelly Elliott
“Pool & Spa was complete in 50 days by Larsens! Can't get better than that. There is no other company I would trust in the Tampa Bay Area to build a pool. Julie is an amazing pool designer who is patient, responsive, and detail-oriented. Reid is a great problem-solver who keeps the project on schedule. All the sub-contractors were equally as great. We truly appreciate Larsen's going above and beyond for our family to get the pool and spa built quickly and professionally. I will recommend them over and over. Proud to have a Larsen's pool.”
Michael Roemmich
“I am so pleased and RELIEVED that we chose Larsen’s Pool & Spa as our pool builder! They have an excellent reputation for a reason. We signed our agreement with them after the pandemic started and they stuck with us, answering all our questions, explaining the steps that had to happen and maintained their timeline. There were a lot of pools being put in at that time and Larsen’s Pool & Spa did not overextend themselves like others. No surprises, open communication – and we have the most beautiful pool in our neighborhood. I would highly recommend them.“
Pat Morris
“We had a fantastic experience with Larsen’s Pool Company. They built our pool on schedule, and their team was consistently responsive and communicative throughout the project. Any construction-related issues were quickly addressed, and they managed the permitting process seamlessly, making the entire experience stress-free. Reid made himself available to us and did an excellent job managing the project, answering questions, and helping us pass inspections. Highly recommend Larsen’s for their professionalism and dedication to quality work. We love our new pool!”
Connor
“It wen very well. We have an amazing pool and had a great experience. There were delays (due to COVID not the company) but we were fully informed throughout the process. Everyone was professional and respectful. Yes, this project could have been done for a cheaper price, however you get what you pay for. Pools are expensive and a mistake could cost you a ton so why not get it done right the first time for just a little extra. This company did an amazing job from start to finish and if you want an amazing pool and building experience this is the company for you.“
Eric Jacobsen
“So we moved to a new neighborhood where our homes are close together. That meant I would need permission to allow some of the larger equipment to tear up the sod to get to the back. I chose Larsen because of their impeccable reputation for being clean and professional. They were exactly that throughout – timely and professional. We are happy with every aspect of the pool installation and Dan and Reid were great. No complaints from our neighbors. The cost was a bit higher than some of the other quotes I received, but you definitely get what you pay for in this case.”
Simon Kim
“Our search for a professional and reputable pool builder was extensive and lead us to Larsen’s as the clear choice. Dan was thorough during the design process providing great insight as we considered the various features and options. As with any construction project, we encountered certain obstacles during the build process. Brooks addressed them with urgency and clearly explained the necessary actions to resolve. In the end, we were very pleased with the workmanship of all aspects of the build producing a high- quality pool and deck which we will enjoy for many years.”
Steven Mauro
“Even though it's a long process from start to finish, we're so happy that Larsen's Pool has done building a beautiful pool to enjoy Florida outdoor. Julie the designer helped design an awesome pool with all spectacular features that we can spend hours outside. Can't have the super pool without the super blue prints. Elicia and Molly at the office took care of all necessary procedures and paperwork. It's an ease to get through the finance steps. The crews did amazing jobs finishing the construction phases correctly and on time. Well the last step before inspection took a little long but it's done. Larsen's would be the best with more communication and prompt responses.”
Minhtho Tran
“The staff at Larsen’s Pool and Spa were wonderful from the first encounter with them. I checked out another pool company prior to Larsen’s and the gentleman was aloof and condescending. I walked into Larsen’s and they were welcoming and kind. Cathy took the time to speak to me and told me about the “pool building process”. She was always there if I had a question. Jeff was fantastic, he listened to what I wanted and designed our perfect pool. After our pool was complete, Justin did a wonderful job showing us how everything worked. He even came back to answer our crazy questions. I ask myself everyday (while enjoying my beautiful pool) why I didn’t do this sooner!”
Steven Ladoniczki
“We recently had our pool done with Larsen's and had a great experience from start to finish. We actually had started off with a different pool contractor who could not complete the job, but we had received our permit. We went to Larsen's and they were able to process a change request to utilize the permit and design the pool around what was approved. From the very beginning the entire experience was first class. They made a number of design suggestions that were not an incremental expense but significantly improved the layout. Our project manager Brooks was fantastic as well and kept us updated every step of the way. We would highly recommend Larsens to anyone looking for a pool.“
Kayla
“My pool project was unusually large and complicated, it incorporated a geo-thermal heating and cooling system, a nano-bubble ozone dis-infection system (not commonly found in residential pools) as well as an additional ultra-violet and ozone dis-infection system. The entire system for both the spa and the pool were integrated into an easy to use app on my phone. Larsen's, and in particular John Martin, the project manager, went over and above in reaching out to the companies providing the various pieces of equiptment involved and ensuring that all components worked together. To be honest, Larsen's was not the cheapest bid that I got, but I feel strongly that I made the right choice.”
Michael Kingsford
“Our family has been wanting to do a pool for year. Being such a large purchase we did our due diligence to find the right company. That is why I am also inclined to do a review. We could not be happier with everything Larsens did. Every single person we worked with, Eric, Reid, Adam, Justin, Mike, Cathy etc. They were Fantastic. Amazing work from start to finish. Seamless process. Can it be expensive, yes. Is their work worth it, yes! Top of the line equipment. Everyone knows their stuff. Everyone we came in contact with was amazing. Even all the contractors!! And that is hard to do. It was a pleasure working with everyone. Now we have our back yard oasis. We would 1000% use them again!”
Ashley Carrio
“We’re so glad we chose Larsen’s to build our pool. The finished product is beautiful, but more importantly it’s made a real difference for our family. My husband is a veteran with a brain injury, and water therapy has become an important part of his recovery. Having a pool at home means he can move, stretch, and build strength in a way that works for him. That kind of freedom is something we don’t take for granted. Everyone we worked with was helpful, respectful, and took pride in making sure everything was done right. It’s clear this company cares about the quality of their work and it shows. We’re truly grateful, not just for the pool, but for what it’s made possible. Highly recommend.“
sticig
“Highly recommend this pool company! As a new pool customer, Larsen’s Pool & Spa exceeded our expectations by showcasing quality workmanship and expertise. With Adam’s designing skills and Drew’s project management, we ended up with a pool we originally envisioned. As new pool customers, we didn’t know what to expect, however, we found all the employees to be professional, timely in work competition, and very customer friendly. Justin and Michael’s pool school at the end of the project was exceptional and very informative. This company stands by their workmanship and it shows with the finished product. We did a travertine decking, sun shelf, and modern pool design, very happy customers!”
David Stroud
“The staff at Larsen Pool & Spa was excellent! From the beginning to end, the project was well planned and managed. Larsen was referred to us by a friend. At the beginning of the project, we met with Jeff T. to design our pool. We told him what we wanted and he designed the perfect layout. Can't say enough about our project manager, Reid. He was very up front with us on how long it was going to take and he was always present for every phase of the project. Our pool was completed in 3 months as promised. After the pool was completed, Justin did an excellent job in showing us how everything worked. Lastly, can't say enough about the admin staff, Cathy & Molly. They made sure everything went smoothly.”
Bonnie Brown
“Thanks to Dave, Eric, Jeff, Jim, Rhonda and the entire Larsen’s Pool and Spa team for making our dream back yard a reality. We enjoyed working with the company from start to finish and the end result is exactly what we wanted and more. Like with any construction project, issues and unforeseen bumps will arise, but the way the Larsen’s team handled everything, made the project flow smoothly. The customer service was excellent from the start and they never hesitate to answer any questions or offer help even now that our project is done. All the subcontractors Larsen’s hired were top notch and had nothing but positive things to say about the company. I would definitely hire Larsen’s again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
Ana Carlson
“I researched Larsen's Pool extensively and got multiple quotes. I had a couple of companies that I liked, but I felt like these guys were the real deal. I was right. I've had my pool remodeled previously and it wasn't what I wanted, so this time I wanted to make sure it was done right. Their staff was very responsive and the subcontractors were very good at their craft as well as dependable. We had a couple of hiccups through no fault of Larsen's and they just handled it. I feel confident in saying that you won't find a better pool company to work with. BTW, an acquaintance of ours used one of the other companies I looked at and started within a week of ours. Our project, which was much bigger took 4 weeks, theirs took 17 weeks.”
Rob Perrone
“I hired Larsen’s to install an in ground swimming pool. They help me design it and then install the pool. They promised me that from the time they dug the hole in the yard to the end of the project it would be about 100 days. Other companies I interviewed for the job told me it would take at least a year to get my pool completed. Larsen’s got it done in under 100 days and it’s a quality installation during a time when supply chain issues were a global issue. Drew, Richard was my project manager and Adam Washburn was my Designer. If I had any questions or any concerns they addressed them immediately. Drew even came in on Saturday to ensure some things were done properly. I appreciate that extra effort. I recommend Larsen’s pool for your pool project.”
Timothy Niedziela
“We took over a year to decide on a pool company and we are so happy we chose Larsen's. From the start working with Jeff answering all of our questions, providing detailed estimate, making any changes, and helping us build the pool we envisioned. Our project manager Reid communicated every step, made sure everything was scheduled on time, and the little issues that did come up were handled in a timely manner. Finally, Justin & Mike are very knowledgeable in providing details in maintaining your pool. Eric the owner called and checked up on the project several times to make sure we were happy! Do your research! Larsen's delivered what they promised. A little less than 3 months we had a new pool and spa! Thank you to the entire team! Happy new pool owners!”
Nitza G
“Excellent, our salesman was extremely knowledgeable of the process and what would fit into our yard. A little bit slow on starting construction but that was due to us beginning the process in late Spring which is busiest time, and then persistent heavy rainfall. Once construction started , our supervisor, Zach Anderson, was on top of every phase and kept us well informed of the schedule and process. He was a pleasure to work with. We had a few minor issues along the way such as coping tiles we did not think were smooth enough, and Zach had all the issues fixed promptly. The pool turned out beautiful and the equipment used was top notch. Would most definitely recommend Larsen Pool to anyone who asked. Pay a little more for peace of mind and a good quality product.”
Jane Laraman
“I believe I made the right choice with Larsen's. They followed through well, and the project was completed in a reasonable time frame. Quality is most important to me, and my pool shell is very thick concrete, well reinforced. The shell is much more robust than some others that I've seen. The finished product is very close to my initial vision, and I'm pleased with my pool. There were a few issues along the way, but that is to be expected with a fairly large project. All issues and concerns were handled to my satisfaction. I know there were material price increases between the time I signed my contract and the time the pool was constructed. There was no attempt to pass these price increases on to me. This shows integrity and commitment to honor the agreement.”
Holland Thompson
“My wife and I chose Larsen Pool & Spa based on the positive reviews we found in forums like this one and their excellent BBB rating. While their prices were a bit higher than other options, we felt confident they would live up to their strong reputation—and they absolutely did. The pool was completed ahead of the projected schedule, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. A special shoutout to our Project Manager, Reid, who went above and beyond by answering all of our questions, conducting regular site visits, and ensuring we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. If you’re looking to build your dream pool, don’t be tempted to cut corners just to save a few bucks. Larsen Pool & Spa exceeded our expectations, and we’re thrilled with the final product! Pedro & Jo”
Pedro Leon
“I researched several companies Only to realize the best bet was Larsen’s Pool & Spa. Why, gut instincts. We broke ground April 2022. I was swimming by my birthday June 27, 2022. All together about 6 months but a lot was paperwork for permits and then picking & choosing from all the material and designs they had to offer! I had the Best person to oversee my project which was Reid. If I questioned anything, he knew about it already and had taken care of it. There’s More than you realize doing a project like this bug or small! What an eye opener. Communication was great, availability for questions was great, process was relatively smooth, and the Old saying… You get what you pay for!! There is not Any other Company such as Larson’s- including Eric Larson. He warranties his work~ No other Company does that! Go Look for yourself 🤗”
Diane Perez
“After a year of our pool being installed, we are loving it! No major issues. What I love about larsens is their quality of work and their staff!! After a year, Justin still continues to respond to any questions or concerns I may have. Hence I maintain my own pool. I love the fact that they are still valuing me as a customer even though it’s been over a year!! Highly highly recommend!!! I have multiple estimates considering the size of the project. The moment Dan Meyer, our designer came to give us our estimate, my instinct told me larsens was the one to go with. I trusted them and they delivered from start to finish. From dig (excavation) day to water in the pool only took 4 and a half weeks. We are impressed and could not have asked for a better pool company to build our pool for us. Thank you Eric and entire larsens team for all that you do.”
damion belmontes
“The experience of building our in-ground pool was incredibly positive, thanks to the exceptional project management. From the initial design phase to the final touches, the team was professional, communicative, and always went above and beyond to ensure our vision was realized. They managed every aspect of the project flawlessly, making it a seamless and stress-free process. The project manager was exceptionally responsive and kept us informed throughout the entire process. They proactively addressed any questions or concerns we had, and always made themselves available for meetings. Finally, the attention to detail was above my expectation. As an example, Larsen's Pool & Spa noticed the width of the marble coping tiles was too thin and had the manufacturer come to our home to visibly see the problem and commit to fix it. Incredible experience.”
Daniel Garramone
“We had a great experience from this pool company. Previously we lost our deposit with Olympus. This time we wanted to make sure we got the best company of the area regardless the price. We wanted a reliable, professional, and organized company with the best quality products. The process was very smooth from the designing center ( with Adam Washburn), the project managers ( Brooks and Reid) to the pool start up ( Justin and Mike). The the pool project took almost 3 months from the digging to the start up ( completed on July 2022). All the project from signing the contract to the end was 7 months. Our HOA permit was one of the biggest delays, not the pool company. The owner Eric Larsen even called me to make sure everything was going smoothly. They cleaned all the garbage and made sure there was not a big mess on the yard. I didn’t even had to replace the grass! Attached you will see some pictures.”
Ana Velez
“Update Sept 2024 – 4 years after install update. Larsens continues to be available and VER responsive to my needs and minor issues. I have had 4 friends use Larsen and they all had a great experience as well! look nowhere else. They care and deliver from the first hello to all your needs! Cathy Falkner is a all star for getting things done! 2020 I had a difficult pool design along with extensive pavers and changing a existing pool configuration substantially. All of the team members were fantastic to work with, I received multiple renderings of exactly what I was buying from Dan Meyer so there was no guesswork. Dan was thoughtful, helpful and very responsive. John Martin and his teams managed a multifaceted executions and the end product is absolutely beautiful. I spoke in depth with 5 of the premier pool builders. None cared or earned the right for my business like Larsen. Definitely include them in your mix.”
Mark Anderson
“We absolutely love our new pool and spa! Out of 3 pool and spa estimates that all came in around the same price, we decided to choose Larsen's and we're very pleased that we did. From the beginning design to the finish, they were with us every step of the way. We were assigned a project manager Zach, who we were told from the start this was his 1st pool in this position. We must admit, we were a little skeptical hearing this, but Zach was a great project manager! Once the permits were obtained, we were told it would take about 8 weeks and our pool, spa, pavers and screening were all completed and were were swimming in under 8 weeks. He kept us notified every step of the way and would stop by daily to check on the progress. We had a couple small issues and Zach took charge and resolved them quickly. The designer Adam was also great to work with! We would definitely recommend Larsen's to anyone planning a new pool installation.”

“My name is Cheryl McDonald. I love my home. Back in 2016 Larsen's Pool and Spa updated my 35 year old pool. They completed the work when they said they would and were very informative, polite and efficient. As I continue working with this company for over 8 years, they keep coming up with new and innovative ideas! Now, I love my home even more! I just had new lighting installed. The work was completed by Nebula Lighting and Gemstone. The price was right, they did what they said they would and completed the job within 3 hours! Wow! I didn't even know they were here and all of a sudden they were finished! The front of my home was a little dark. Now, I pull in my drive and (WOW!) the lighting and house are beautiful and inviting. I walk thru my front door and see the living room, lit up pool and beyond to the golf course. Everything is so light, airy and beautiful. My home is truly my oasis!! Thanks, Eric Larsen for making me feel fabulous once again!”
Cheryl McDonald
“After 30 years in our home we decided to take the plunge and add a pool. We reached out to a few pool companies by phone and online. Most could not even meet with us or give us any general information for 3 -4 months. We contacted Eric Larsen on a Saturday and he walked us through some of the basic questions about what we had in mind. He honestly explained some of the timeframes due to COVID, overall process, options and cost estimate. A few days later our salesman, Jeff, was at our house and within a week we had an amazing rendering. After doing a ton of research and the excellent response from Larsen's we made our decision. We had a lot of questions throughout the build and never felt like we were an inconvenience. Brooks, Jeff, John and Eric were so easy to work with and make sure that we were happy with every step. We originally just wanted a pool but 7 months later, what we have is this beautiful additional living space that we love. We highly recommend working with Larsen's.”
Kathy Long
“We could not be happier with our Larsen's experience. We worked with Daniel on the design and Reed throughout the build. Both of them were highly skilled, professional and truly cared about what we wanted more than anything else. You can tell they are playing the long game, wanting happy customers and a good reputation over cashing in on this short-term pool rush. They were very clear about pricing up front, make sure we understood and signed off on mid-build changes that affected price, and never pressured us towards their most expensive options. Our pool was delivered on time, and exceeded our expectations in every way. The tile work, pavers, screen enclosure and every other detail are perfect. They even worked with us to build a complex drainage system so the City of Tampa would sign off on the size of pool we wanted. We use the pool almost every day and love every minute of it. We highly recommend Larsen's to anyone who will listen, and everyone asks who built it when they see our gorgeous pool!“
John Anderson
“From start to finish, Larsen's was a pleasure to work with on our pool and deck renovation. They patiently accommodated us while we changed our minds multiple times about the material and color selections, and helped make the selection process easier by generating 3D visualizations of what each option would look like. During construction they kept me informed at each stage and didn't seem to mind me hovering about as they worked. When I did spot some things I was concerned about (mostly esthetic in nature) they were quick to address them without excuses or complaint. In fact, they proactively noticed an issue with the shipment of travertine and sent it back to the supplier TWICE until they were satisfied with the quality of the stone. Now finished, they are still coming by multiple times per week to make sure the pool chemicals are at the right balance, all while teaching me how to maintain it myself going forward. I highly recommend Larsen's if you're considering a renovation. You will not be disappointed.”
Jeff Marshall
“I can't say enough good things about this company in a short post but if I were to expound upon one critical aspect of Larson's I'd say that they really listened to us… and I mean REALLY listened! Not only did they listen but understood our desires and acted upon them! (Other pool companies we interviewed took what we said and provided designs to meet their own interests… come on!… A rectangle! Really? ) Larsen's listened to our design feature asks and created a perfect design, assigned a fantastic project manager who followed the entire project from start to finish and did a FANTASTIC job communicating, updating and LISTENING! The whole Larsen's team, management and every craftsman that stepped on our property were professional, courteous and hard working. I understand they may post a video on their website so take a look and you'll likely see our new pool (our smiling faces may or may not be in the background! 🙂 Bottom line: Give Larsen's a shot at designing your dream pool… you'll be glad you did.”
Robin-Susan Dickey
“Larsen completed our pool in late October, and we're incredibly pleased with it! When we made the decision to move to Tampa in early 2019, we also made the decision to build a new home. We've spent many years in the Fl panhandle, and enjoyed weekends on our boat. We were hit very hard by Hurricane Michael, where it destroyed much of our property including a total loss to our boat. We decided to not get a new boat, rather get a pool to satisfy our love for entertaining and for the water. We looked at several pool companies along the way before settling on Larsen, mainly because we believe in quality not quantity, and these guys really seem to focus on doing a great job on fewer pools, rather than an ok job on many pools. From the sales process through the build process, we were kept in the loop throughout which is very important to us. Working with a company who shows up, communicates and takes pride in their work is hard to come by nowadays, but Larsen delivers on that promise. We're really enjoying our beautiful pool!”
Woody Woodard
“If you want to have your pool done with quality and not wait years to complete the project then Larsen’s is the place to go. It took only 6 months from sign to swim and that is a dream nowadays. Everyone at Larsen’s even the subcontractors they work with know how to do their job. We want to thank our designer Jeff for designing our beautiful pool and always answer any question i had, our project manager Reid, who was always making sure everything was going as planned and giving me the best advise when i needed to make any change or decision. Elicia in the office for always being nice and responsive when i sent her a message. Eric Larsen for giving me the first call and explain everything i should expect during the process. Mr John Martin and Mr David Larsen for coming a few times to inspect that the project was going fine. Also we want to thank Mike for coming to start our pool and Justin for coming every week to check on our pool chemicals and explain everything we should know. See pictures attached. WE LOVE OUR POOL!!!! Thank you Larsen’s team :-)”
Geily Sanchez
“We chose Larsen’s Pool & Spa for our pool/cage/deck renovation after interviewing several contractors. They responded quickly, had good suggestions, great reviews and most of all … did ALL the work with ALL associated contractors. We did not want to have to find the different sub contractors needed to accomplish the extensive renovation. Larsen’s did it ALL. John Martin, the general manager for our project, was easy to work with…helpful, knowledgeable, considerate of our wants and needs. He was there EVERY step of the way for us …. this being an extremely large outdoor renovation. Although the project took a couple weeks longer than anticipated … all phases of the remodel followed each other in a smooth orderly fashion. The workers associated with each phase performed their jobs very well, efficiently and professionally. Any concerns or questions we had throughout the project were addressed immediately, professionally and to our expectations and satisfaction. We are extremely happy with our new, beautiful pool/lanai/cage project. We highly recommend this company.“
Linda DeFilippo
“It has been 11 months since the Larsen Team completed our family pool project. Instead of writing a review immediately after the pool was complete, I decided to wait a while, as the long term care is just as important as the front end. The Larsen Team is without a doubt THE BEST. Jeff was our designer, Jim was our project manager and Justin took care of orientation and the first month of balancing. The entire Team is extremely professional and true experts. The 3D design that Jeff prepared was almost exactly what the final product looked like. With all the nightmares I've read about with other companies and in speaking with friends who had pools built recently, none would recommend their company. I recommend Larsen's to everyone! We had a few issues at start-up and few control boards that went bad but everything was repaired promptly and correctly. Just last Sunday I found a plumbing issue to the deck jets caused by settling and I emailed the team at 7pm on Sunday and the next morning it was repaired. Larsen's does what every business should do and any client can take comfort knowing they are on the job! Keep up the great work guys!”
Tim Campbell
“After extensive research and getting bids from three different companies, we chose Larsen's Pool and Spa for our pool remodel — and we couldn’t be happier! What really sealed the deal was speaking with multiple references, two of whom had recently completed renovations in our neighborhood and raved about Larsen’s work. From start to finish, our primary contact, John Martin, was an absolute standout. He anticipated every need, was always “on it” when anything required attention, and consistently checked-in to ensure everything was progressing smoothly. Honestly, he’s one of the best project managers we’ve ever worked with! The entire team, including Eric Larsen, Elicia, and Cathy, was professional, responsive, and always available when needed. Our project included a full pool renovation: new Pebble Tec, waterline tile, travertine decking, a new sun shelf, all-new pool equipment (switching from chlorine to salt), Nebula lighting, and a stunning panoramic screen enclosure. The final result is everything we dreamed of! If you're looking for a top-tier, reliable, and highly professional pool company, look no further than Larsen’s. We highly recommend them!“
Pam Induni
“Overview: We recently installed a backyard pool, and it has completely transformed our outdoor living space. From its sleek design to its top-notch functionality, every aspect of this pool has exceeded our expectations. Design and Aesthetics: The pool has a modern design with clean lines that blend seamlessly with our backyard landscape. The tiles are of high quality and add a touch of elegance. We opted for a natural stone deck which complements the pool perfectly, making the whole area look like a luxurious resort. Functionality: The pool comes with a variety of features that make it both fun and practical. The built-in lighting system is fantastic for night swims, creating a relaxing ambiance. The filtration system is efficient and keeps the water crystal clear with minimal maintenance. We also added a heating system, which extends our swimming season by a few months. Installation Process: The installation was handled by a professional team who were punctual, courteous, and skilled. The entire process took about three weeks from start to finish, including excavation, installation, and finishing touches. The team kept us informed at every step and ensured that the site was clean and safe.”
Shelly Day
“As first time pool owners, we wanted to talk to everyone we could and everything kept leading back to Larsen’s Pool & Spa. Our initial contact was with Dan, before COVID. He showed up, answered all our questions and was extremely patient, even when we decided to wait. During COVID we called Dan again and when he showed up it was like we never skipped a beat. Dan led us through the entire process and even spent a Saturday morning with us finalizing everything. It was smooth. Our project manager Reid led the way, managing each contractor with ease and answered all our (first timer) questions. Reid made sure even the littlest issue was taken care of and explained why certain things had to be done they way they were. Remember, first time pool owners with a lot of questions. Once the build was complete he turned everything over to Justin and Mike, and let me tell you, these two—above and beyond. If they were in the area, they stopped by. They answered frantic texts at 8:30pm and Justin even answer texts while on vacation. From start to finish, we never felt like we didn’t know what was going on and that was very important to us. Thank you Dan, Reid, Justin, Mike and the entire Larsen’s Team for a job well done. -Kent and Anita”

“It is with pleasure that I write this review from Wesley Chapel, FL, for Larsen's Pool & Spa. Building our gorgeous pool and creating a beautiful outdoor space for my family to enjoy for years to come has been quite an experience from beginning to end. This is the first time we have built an in-ground pool. So, it was very scary! However, from Eric Larsen's first phone call we started to feel more at ease. Then we met with Adam, his creativity and patience help me to feel more at ease moving forward with the project. He designed a beautiful pool. The ladies in the office were great, I must thank Molly and Elicia for their guidance in this process. They were always available to answer my questions. This project was lead by the best project manager ever, Reid!! He was absolutely the best to work with to build this pool, his leadership, patience, thoughtfulness and honesty is second to none. Reid was there for us from start to finish, ensuring that the quality we were promised was there throughout the building of the pool and beyond. I can't forget to shout out Jason and Mike, the pool school guys that made sure that the water was perfect for swimming..I highly recommend Larsen Pools and Spa to anyone looking to build an in-ground pool or backyard oasis. The Larsen Team becomes like family, everyone works hard to make your project perfect. Thank you for making our dream a reality.”

“We began researching for a pool installation about a year ago. What was most important was communication, trust, quality workmanship and quality built product and meeting the customer's needs. The entire Larsen's family, from design with Adam to our site manager (Zach) to our "pool school" guys (John and Justin) to the office representatives (Molly and Rhonda), they are all outstanding!! The subs that Larsen's hires were all professional and if things did not go right, Larsen's always corrected the issue, they make things right. As with any major construction project, there are hiccups, but what we admire the most is how Larsen's handled themselves and responded. Everything was addressed timely, responses were timely, we have direct contact with Zach nearly daily. It was a two way communication and goal oriented project. They wanted us to be happy with our pool. We also knew what was going on through the whole process. This is one upstanding company and deserve the highest review. We would recommend them every time. Compared to other companies, the price is a bit higher, but it was worth every penny for the family feeling and the care they took in each step of our project and the quality of the work and how they make sure everything was done right. Don't miss an opportunity to work with Larsen's if you are looking to put in a new pool or update your own. Thank you Larsen's!”
Dina Misener
“Just worked with Larsen's to build a new pool, lanai and screen enclosure. I can highly recommend Larsen's! Since purchasing the home, I've wanted to build a pool but was nervous of the overall process and many news stories of pool companies leaving their customers hanging. I did a lot of research beforehand and spoke with a few companies, I didn't get a good feel from any of them. Then I found Larsen's. As you start the process, you get a direct phone call from the owner who discusses the process overall. From there I worked with Adam on design, who was very receptive and easy to communicate with. We had fun picking out the various design features in the showroom. Once the work began, Drew was project manager. Drew was phenomenal to work with and the build process was seamless. Always reachable and communicating the next steps along the way. Drew always answered questions and accommodated if I needed a scheduling adjustment. There were trades working here every week during build and no long periods with no activity. The pool was delivered ahead of schedule and looks fabulous! Of all the companies I spoke with, Larsen's had a higher quote but with this big of a project it is worth every single penny. The ability to reach the owner, the quality of staff on design and PM, and the comfort the overall process is being smoothly managed with minimal disruption was absolutely worth it.”
Christopher P Dodorico
“Larsen's remodeled our pool in June 2023 and I intentionally waited a year to write this review so I could see how the support was after the work was complete. Larsen's has been top notch the entire time! Dan was our sales rep and he was incredibly thorough during the estimate. He truly wanted to understand how we would be using the pool, which resulted in great ideas and considerations we had not previously considered. He provided multiple detailed 3D renderings (we changed things multiple times) which really gave us an idea of what the final result would look like. Once we agreed to move forward, John was assigned as our project manager. He was onsite during every phase of the work to ensure it all went according to plan. Communication was awesome, he returned calls quickly and was always more than willing to answer questions and address our concerns. The front desk staff have also been great. After the project was complete, there were a few small things that needed to be fixed (tile grout was missing in a few spots and a few small rust stains appeared) and they were always very responsive, quickly notified the right people to get them out to fix the issues and followed up to ensure everything was taken care of. I can't recommend Larsen's enough! The entire process was seamless and they absolutely delivered on everything they promised. 10 out of 10, would absolutely hire them again in an instant!”
Zack Long
“We absolutely love our pool! We looked at many pool companies but chose Larsen’s Pool and Spa because of their reputation of good service and use of high quality materials. Our neighbors were very impressed with our pool and many have commented on how well the Larsen team worked to ensure that the neighborhood was not disrupted during the process. Dan Meyer designed our pool and he was great to work with. He helped us select colors and materials that met our vision for our dream pool. Reid, our project manager, kept us informed of all the steps and time line. He was meticulous and was very detail oriented. The pool start up team of Mike and Justin were just as great. Once the pool was filled, Justin oversaw the treatment of the water to make sure it was perfect for swimming. He was awesome! Justin stopped by weekly and sometimes twice a week to ensure the chemicals were working appropriately. He educated us about everything to know about the pool and he didn’t mind reviewing things when we had questions about pool maintenance and proper upkeep. From start to finish, the pool took seven weeks. The quality of work and attention to detail is impressive. If you are considering a pool, look no further than Larsen’s Pool and Spa. The entire staff, starting with Eric Larsen, were absolutely wonderful to work with. We highly recommend Larsen’s Pool and Spa. And don’t be surprised if you get a visit from the original owner, David Larsen, checking up on your pool’s progress.”

“I want to extend a sincere thanks to Larsen’s Pool & Spa for the outstanding job they did on my pool/spa installation. The team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional quality of work far exceeded my expectations. A special thank you to Emily and Elicia, my sales representative, and Reid, my project manager. My experience at the design center was amazing. Emily acknowledged my ideas, shared her thoughts and provided guidance to create an amazing design. My design was transformed into a digital format which was helpful to visualize the project. Reid, my project manager, was truly outstanding from start to finish. Reid was always available and kept me informed through every step of the project which made the entire process smooth and stress free. After my pool and spa were installed, I had the pleasure of working with Justin and Mike. He completed my initial pool startup. Justin was very kind, considerate and patient. I appreciate the time he spent to clearly explain and demonstrate the necessary steps to maintain and care for my pool. I was especially impressed to receive personal calls from Eric Larsen himself, checking in during the project and again at completion to ensure I was fully satisfied. That level of care and personal attention speaks volumes about your company’s commitment to excellence. Larsen’s Pool & Spa did everything they said they would do on time and with the highest quality. I highly recommend them if you are looking to install a pool and/or spa!”

“The Larsen Pool construction project was a really great experience for us. This was the second time that we had a pool built and we did not want a repeat of the first pool construction experience that we had with another pool construction company which was an absolute night mare. A pool construction project is a very large undertaking which is not only very costly to purchase but it also will impact the value of your home in years to come. We looked thru Angie’s List of pool construction companies and we found that Larsen’s reviews were consistently great (not just good) over a long period of time and they had a large number of reviews to consider. After vetting Larsen’s Pool company and about 4 other pool companies that either had good reviews or they were companies that we frequently saw in our subdivision we decide to go with Larsen’s Pools and all I can say is they did not disappoint. The experience was absolutely great. They were not the lowest quote that we received but they stood by their guarantee that there would absolutely not be any additional charges once the project was under way. The salesman Adam was friendly, very professional, not pushy and very accommodating. He helped us not only just build a pool that we could afford but also helped us to create something that added great value to our home for years to come. They took care of every detail during construction. Their superintendent Zack was friendly and helpful. We are extremely happy with everything that Larsen’s did for us.”
D Collings
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very beginning, the communication was excellent. Every concern we had was addressed promptly, and they truly did their best to make sure we were happy throughout the entire process. Their workmanship is outstanding. Each time they dug, they carefully leveled the ground and never left it uneven, preventing any water from standing or getting trapped. The pool itself came out absolutely perfect. The attention to detail is impressive. The tiles around the spa and pool were installed with incredible precision and perfectly cut, giving the entire pool a beautiful, high-end finish. The ground is extremely leveled, and the pavers look amazing with a flawless design. What really stood out was how much they cared about the final result. We initially chose a grout color, and before proceeding, they noticed it wouldn’t look as expected. They showed us and suggested a different color—and we are so glad they did. The final choice looks incredible. The screen installation was also done very professionally and looks amazing. On top of that, they even helped fix an issue we had with water standing in our yard by leveling the land, even though it wasn’t part of the original scope. They did this simply because they care about quality and treat you like family, not just another dollar sign. We truly feel blessed that God allowed us to find the best contractor to build our pool. The price absolutely matched—and exceeded—the quality of work we received. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them.”
Rey Hernandez
“We want to extend our sincere thanks to Larsen’s Pool Company for the outstanding job you did on our pool installation. Your team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional quality of work far exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Daniel, our sales representative, and Reid, our project manager—both were truly outstanding from start to finish. Reid kept us informed every step of the way and answered all our questions with patience and clarity. The office staff was also a pleasure to work with—professional, friendly, and always helpful—making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We also want to express our appreciation to Justin and Mike, who went out of their way to take care of the pool chemicals and maintenance; even stopping by when we had an emergency and were out of town. Their attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond helped us feel confident and well-supported as new pool owners. We were especially impressed to receive personal calls from Eric Larsen himself, checking in during the project and again at completion to ensure we were fully satisfied. That level of care and personal attention speaks volumes about your company’s commitment to excellence. This is our second pool installation, and without a doubt, Larsen’s Pool Company is the best we’ve ever worked with. A pool is a significant investment, and if you’re looking for a company that delivers professional service and top-quality results, look no further. You won’t be disappointed! With gratitude, Doug & Della R”

“Starting the process of building a brand new pool was a little daunting to say the least. It especially become more so when every pool company we contacted either did not contact us back or were very poor communicators when it came to obtaining a tangible quote. To say Larsen’s Pool and Spa was a breath of fresh air to work with would be an understatement. From the very first phone call, to the in-person meetings and many emails in between, every individual we worked with at Larsen’s was responsive, polite, and professional. The quote we received from Larsen’s was honestly not the least expensive however they were not the most expensive either. We found their proposal to be comprehensive and everything made perfect sense. We picked Larsen’s because we knew that we did not want the ‘cheapest’, we wanted a headache free experience with a high quality result that we could depend on; and that is exactly what we received. From the very start, our experience with Adam was amazing and then we transitioned to Zach for the actual building. Zach is an absolute super star. He kept us updated on every detail and was always reachable and approachable. There was never a moment that we were concerned about our investment in this company to provide this incredible addition to our home. If you are looking around the Tampa Bay area for a pool company, I would 200% recommend Larsen’s to anyone. I am confident in the quality product we received and our family is so excited to enjoy our new pool for years to come. Thank you so much to the Larsen’s Team!!”

“I would give an A+ if I could. We went to Larsen's Pool and Spa not knowing that we should have made an appointment ahead of time. The owner, Eric, was in the middle of a weekly staff meeting with part of his team. He put the meeting on hold, came over to talk to us for a bit and then he and his staff assisted us with everything we needed. After making the various choices for the pool and signing the contract, Eric gave us his personal phone number and told us to call if there were any issues throughout the process. Our Construction Superintendent was Jim Atwell, who was one of the most pleasant people I have dealt with in the business world. He kept on top of things making sure the project moved along, answering all of our questions and concerns along the way. As few projects of this size go absolutely flawlessly, I will say that there were a few issues as things proceeded. Eric and his team made sure that at the end of the project we were 100% happy with everything. The few times that we needed to contact him he answered his phone and took care of the issue as soon as he could. We did not have to "settle" for anything. The project lasted six months and was finished in December 2019 receiving our "pool school" lesson from Justin. I can't say enough about Justin either as anytime I've texted or called him with a question he has always responded quickly. Almost nine months later everything is working flawlessly. Eric, Jim, Justin and the whole crew at Larsen's Pool and Spa are absolute professionals, very personable and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend them.”
Stan Kureczko
“We were moving from Atlanta and did not have a Real Estate Agent in Florida and were really on our own. The home builder recommended pool companies. The first proposal was much less than Larsen’s, but we chose Larsen because quality is very important to us. Our initial meeting with the Larsen team, Eric stopped by and shared helpful information and made us feel appreciated. Before construction started, Eric called to thank us and offered more useful information about the area. He also recommended the outdoor kitchen company which we subsequently used. Before construction, Reid came to our home to educate us about the construction process and what to expect of the Larsen team. Reid has a warm and sensitive personality that puts your mind at ease, immediately upon meeting him. He recommended important enhancements such as a panoramic screen, a bench the entire length of the pool and Omni Logic to electronically operate the pool, among other things. The construction took exactly four months as promised and we were introduced to Michael and Justin….these guys were equally nice and helpful. We had an issue with our auto fill, that was eventually resolved without much fanfare. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Reid took time to clean the area after the auto fill was installed and he bought bags of small rocks to create a safe and mud free path for us. That was special!! Overall, we had a very good experience with the Larsen crew. The ladies in operations worked well with us too! Minor issues along the way were addressed and handled with sensitivity and care.”

“Why I Would Recommend Larsen’s Pool and Spa Research And Selection We interviewed and received bids from 6 different pool companies before selecting Larsen’s Pool and Spa. They were not the cheapest bid but their warranty, professionalism and reputation on social media stood out. My goal through this process was to select a quality company that would deliver a quality product without being surprised or feeling nickel and dimed throughout the process. I believe they delivered. People The individuals we worked with the most were Adam, Drew, Washington and Justin, all quality individuals and very professional. Adam was instrumental in the design and materials selection process. Drew was always very responsive to any questions or concerns regarding installation. Washington is a gifted craftsman with attention to detail. I would feel confident having Washington involved in any project of mine. Justin makes himself available whenever needed or if you have an operational question or issue. There were other contacts within Larsen’s, such as John and owner Eric Larsen, who made themselves available when needed to discuss any concerns. It was comforting to have the owner engaged. Customer Experience While there were issues and concerns that arose during the installation, Larsen’s representative never hesitated to take ownership and resolve in a timely manner. I was never presented with an additional invoice during these resolutions. Conclusion It has been 1 yrs since the installation. We continue to be pleased with our pool and selection of Larsen’s Pool and Spa and recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product and a quality organization.”
Mark Vandersall
“We recently had a pool installed by Larsen’s Pool & Spa, and the process could not have gone any smoother. I was impressed with our first contact when the owner, Eric Larsen, called to discuss our wants and took the time to ensure we understood and felt comfortable with their expectations for themselves when taking on a project. In a time when other pool companies seem to lack regard for communication and doing what they say they are going to do, we immediately felt at ease that this would not be the case with Larsen’s. Our assigned designer, Dan, answered all our questions about pool construction, listened to what our vision was, made excellent suggestions on design based on the size of our yard, and came up with a beautiful plan! Once all the permits were secured, we were handed off to our project manager, Reid. Reid met with us before the dig started to walk us through the process, answered questions, and made sure we knew we could contact him at any time. Every subcontractor Larsen’s hired was professional, kept the construction site cleaned up as much as possible, and did excellent work. I was especially impressed with the tile guy! Once the pool had water in it, Mike and Justin from Larsen’s hooked up the equipment, made sure it was running well, and came out twice a week for a month to check chemicals, make sure all was running well, and make sure we understood how all the equipment worked. From dig to water was three months, as promised from the beginning of the project! Larsen’s has excellent and knowledgeable employees, long time relationships with their subcontractors and stands by their equipment choices. The communication with us from start to finish was top notch! We highly recommend Larsen’s Pool & Spa when you are considering your own project.“
Bobbie
“Simply put, if you want a high-quality pool, installed in a reasonable time you will not regret going with Larsen’s Pool and Spa. We started looking for a pool builder in mid-2021. My wife returned to Tampa on a business trip and her row mate was from Brandon Fl and raved about her experience with Larsen’s. We talked with four pool companies and were most impressed with Larsen’s proposals. They were candid about issues with shutdowns and supply chain problems but were estimating about half the construction time of the other companies. The design process went smoothly, and the designer (Jeff) made several good suggestions. We loved the final look of the pool and lanai. Good relations with the county building department seems to have eased the building permits and the dig began in mid-December just two months after signing the contract. Though Larsen’s estimate was 120 days for completion, we were filling the finished pool just 90 days after the dig. Admittedly our pool did not have water features or a spa so it wasn’t complicated but that is a remarkable accomplishment considering most companies were estimating a year to complete. The construction went smoothly, and we saw Reid, the construction lead, at least every other week and he was very willing to answer our questions about the construction process and overall progress. We were also impressed with the subcontractors Larsen’s uses. They did excellent work, quickly corrected problems, and cleaned up after each phase of the job. That contrasts with other pools in the neighborhood which have prolonged periods with construction residue sitting in yards. Finally, Justin and Mike got the equipment running, the pool chemistry balanced and helped us learn how to manage the systems. Both were extremely helpful in getting pool novices up to speed.”
Chuck McCain
“I have had terrible luck with most construction projects we’ve done since moving in. The bar was set so very low by other experiences. Early on Larsen’s gave me a confident feeling that I was in good hands. We loved meeting with Dan and dreaming of our options. I felt like we were with him for hours and he didn’t rush us once. My first feel good moment was when I panicked from an email I had received and called in to talk to Elicia my assigned project financial counselor. She was-and remained to be-helpful, kind, available, and an all around pleasure to have work on my behalf. She instantly put me at ease. Insert John…. I can’t praise this man enough! He went so far above and beyond I don’t even know where to start. One highlight that comes to mind is when he came and aided us in digging a drainage solution that we were too cheap to buy. He told me exactly what to order and how to do it. Then when I failed he drove over and helped!!!! Who does that?!?!? Who have you ever worked with in any company ever that helped you with a side project?!? Any time I had any questions or requests (can we have grey jet turns) he immediately handled everything and ALWAYS exceeded my expectations! Jeremy was here on the back end after the resurfacing was done. He was equally as phenomenal as the rest of the squad. I actually called him almost an entire month after my pool was done. He not only answered but FaceTimed with me to teach me how to use my own equipment, that he had already shown me how to use previously🤦🏻♀️ I didn’t get to work directly with Eric but I did meet him and he was very nice. Every single person that was sent subcontracted or otherwise was incredibly professional and again I’ll say exceeded my expectations. I’m missing my Larsens friends it was bittersweet when the project was completed. Im attaching some before and after photos of the pool.”

“In 2020, we began our research to find a pool company. We read lots of online reviews and made many phone calls to various pool companies in the Tampa Bay area. Many were swamped with the unprecedented increase of pool sales during COVID. With this in mind, many companies told us to call back in 4-6 months because they were at max capacity with current projects. Others told us that we could be “squeezed” in. When you are investing a large sum of money to have a pool built… let’s be honest you don’t want to be squeezed in or feel like you are just a number. Larsen’s Pool really stood out to us in regards to reviews through multiple websites. Our first call we were placed in contact with Eric (owner) to discuss our pool ideas, budget, etc. This was really helpful, not only were we having an honest conversation about timelines, overall process, construction, financing, and budget but I could tell that Eric really cared about his clients. The next step was a phone consultation with our designer, Jeff. After talking with us for 15 minutes, Jeff texted us a picture of a rough sketch of our pool design and he nailed it. The pool layout was not only functional, but he thought of little details that would make our pool design unique and something that we would enjoy. During construction, our project manager was Brooks. He was great with communication and ensuring that not only were we happy but that the quality of work being done was good. Within 3-4 months our pool was finished and the final punch list items were completed in a timely manner. The level of communication was impressive not only from the Larsen’s but also their subcontractors. Throughout the process any question or concern was always addressed and answered quickly. Even after the final payment was made! The passion and level of care that Larsen’s provides is evident and really makes them stand apart from the competition. Bottom line: highly recommended and would definitely use their services again.“

“We did our due diligence in researching a reputable pool company in the Tampa Bay area. We chose Larsen’s Pool & Spa to create our outdoor living space with no regrets. Larsen’s completed the job without delay and exceeded our expectations! Our experience at the design center with Adam was amazing. He was very professional, kind and courteous. He acknowledged our ideas, shared his thoughts and provided guidance to create an amazing design. Our design was transformed on a digital format which was helpful to visualize the project. It was a pleasure working with Adam. Our construction manager Reid was very knowledgable, possesses excellent communication skills, well-organized and displayed professionalism. Reid was on-site and proactive during construction. He clearly communicated every step with us, by keeping us informed and always returning our calls. He truly cared about our project, and it showed in his attention to details. Reid’s hard work, continuous efforts and organization skills were the driving force to keep things moving forward with an end result of our project being completed prior to the date promised. He is an asset to Larsen’s and we are grateful for all of his hard work and efforts to get the job done! After our pool and spa were installed we had the pleasure to work with Justin. He completed our initial pool startup. Justin was very kind, considerate and patient. We appreciate the time he spent to clearly explain and demonstrate the necessary steps to maintain and care for our pool. Larsen’s Pool & Spa has an amazing team who strive to build a pool that will last a lifetime. They have a competitive Warranty Package and Larsen’s stands behind their work. We appreciate that Larsen's team continues to be responsive to all of our questions even after our pool has been completed. They have proven to share a common goal to help us maintain our investment so we can enjoy it for years to come. We would highly recommend Larsen’s Pool & Spa!”

“My wife and I met with Dan from the Larsen’s team in Spring of 2024 in an effort to start our planning process for a backyard redo with pool and cage for our Tampa home. We had friends who had used them and were one of the few companies that we didn’t hear any disaster stories with. After a few months of figuring out what we wanted and meeting with a few other companies, we had always felt the best with Dan. He followed up in timely manners and was not overly pushy which usually tells me he’s confident in the product they offer, instead of desperate for the sale. Prior to our first meeting I got a call from owner Eric Larsen and that also really helped us feel good about the company. Fast forward to around September we signed a contract and picked out our finishes and finalized our design. The planning process and communication for changes and such with Dan was as smooth as it can get. He was absolutely fantastic in helping us figuring out different parts of the design. In early October we had some unexpected delays due to the hurricane. After reaching out to Dan they let us know that we had the option to delay, or cancel, with no real penalties. Luckily for us we had still wanted to move forward with the pool project but just had to wait. So we agreed to push start date to Jan. I cannot imagine what could have happened if they were not willing to work with us on this, safe to say this alone would have us pick them again and again because I know every contractor isn’t so helpful in these situations. Once the actual build process started we worked with Reid. They moved quickly from dig to swim in about 8 weeks or so. We had a couple small miscommunications between the design, some minor changes, and Reid/contractors. All of those miscommunications were quickly remedied. The pool came out amazing. Justin and Mike from the startup and maintence team were great and super helpful in learning everything. We would not hesitate even one bit to recommend Larsen’s and would use them again in a heartbeat. We love our new pool!”

“We had an excellent experience working with Larsen’s Pool & Spa from start to finish. From the very beginning, the company owner (Eric Larsen) personally reached out to us to introduce himself, provide his contact information, and let us know that we could contact him directly with any questions or concerns at any time. That level of accessibility and care immediately gave us confidence in our decision. The designer (Adam Washburn) did an outstanding job bringing our vision to life. He created three different pool designs for us, complete with detailed 3D sketches and a video walk through, which made it easy to visualize the final result. He was extremely constructive throughout the process, offering thoughtful suggestions and recommendations that ultimately made the design even better. During construction, the project manager (Reid Meyer) was exceptional at ensuring every phase of the project was completed properly and fully up to code. It was clear that quality and compliance were top priorities. All of the subcontractors were very respectful, professional, and efficient. Several of them mentioned how this company holds everyone accountable by double-checking work and making sure everything will pass county inspections, which really showed in the final outcome. After completing the pool construction, they went the extra mile by sending a chemical maintenance team (Mike and Justin) to manage the pool water chemistry for 30 days. This gave us peace of mind knowing the pool was properly balanced and safe while we learned the basics of maintenance ourselves. Their commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and post-construction support really set them apart. While this company was a little more expensive than other options we considered, we chose them because of their strong reputation and experience in the pool construction industry—and it was absolutely worth it. Our pool was completed within 60 days of groundbreaking, and we’ve received countless compliments from neighbors, friends, and even some of the inspectors on how beautiful it turned out. We are extremely satisfied with the service we received and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to build a pool. If you’re looking for professionalism, quality, and peace of mind, they definitely will not disappoint you.”

“We are delighted to provide our highest praise for Larsen’s Pool and Spa in Tampa. We had been diligently researching the best custom pool builders in the area for quite some time and were amazed to find that the culmination of our research led us to Larsen’s, the very same company that our neighbors had commissioned to build their pool! They were so pleased with the quality of the workmanship and the professionalism of the company, that we were convinced that Larsen’s was the best choice. My wife worked with their designer to create a custom pool with high-end features, that resulted in a beautiful layout that their engineers had especially designed as an open vista without any obstructing pool enclosure beams, yet structurally sound. Larsen’s only uses high quality pavers, tile and the most beautiful jeweled glass beaded pool finish, and custom stone work. Their stonemason, Washington, was phenomenal in his artistry and accommodated our multiple last-minute changes and revisions with grace and patience. The jobsite was kept neat and tidy and workers caused minimal disruption to the existing grounds, respecting the landscaping. Our greatest praise goes to the Chief Project Manager, Drew Richards. You couldn’t ask for a more accessible, knowledgeable and caring professional! He had the unenviable task of coordinating excavators, plumbers, electricians, stone and concrete workers, screen and enclosure builders, etc., and yet he kept us informed of every step along the way. Each worker was prompt and professional and we were amazed at how all those involved really enjoyed and took pride in their particular phase of the project. When Drew said the next crew would be there on a certain date, you could count on it. He would solve each new issue quickly and effectively and we always felt that our project was his primary focus and the communication stream was superb. He took our multiple revisions, requests and changes with the greatest of patience and professionalism. The front office staff, financial coordinators and the accessibility of the owner himself, also made for a very positive experience. We absolutely love the beauty and functionality of our Larsen Pool and Spa. We use it every day and everything works wonderfully, including the custom illuminations and automated controls. For such a substantial investment as a custom luxury pool, we felt an incredible peace of mind every day of construction knowing that Larsen’s was providing a solid, exceptional product. We couldn’t ask for a better pool building experience. Martin and Colleen Land O’ Lakes, Florida”

“We had a fantastic experience with Larsen’s Pool and Spa! The process began with a welcome call from the owner, Eric Larsen. He listened to our wants and was thoughtful when choosing the designer to assign to the project. The designing phase began with an in-home meeting with Dan who we worked with during the entire pool design phase. He was very detail-oriented, a great listener, and was willing to tweak the design several times to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We received designs from multiple different companies, and Dan's design was the best. Not only did he integrate our wishes, but also came up with inventive ideas to integrate into our backyard space. After we finalized the big picture design, we met with Dan at the Larsen's Pool and Spa office to pick out the specific travertine, tiles, and other finishing options. Dan and the company were very transperant throughout the entire process. We always knew the price for each design, option, and upgrade with no surprises. This experience was very different than with the other companies we received quotes from. The cliché about getting what you pay for is very true (in a positive matter of speaking) when it comes to Larsen's Pool and Spa. Their price is very fair for the great product and service you receive. Once the project and digging actually began, Dan handed us over to Reid, who managed the construction phase. Like Eric and Dan, Reid was also outstanding! He did a great job keeping things on schedule and talking us through what to expect. He was there to handle any small changes or fixes that became necessary throughout the construction. Again, with no surprise costs! Our project had a lot of unique features – elevation change, waterfalls, and a slide, and not only did Reid keep the project moving quickly, but actually finished it ahead of schedule! Once the pool was filled with water, Justin and Mike came to start-up our pool and teach us how to run everything. Reid, Justin, and Mike continue to be available to answer questions about the functionality and maintenance well after completion. Larsen's Pool and Spa is not only by your side during the project, but they stay by your side while you enjoy your pool for years to come. If you have any questions or issues, they are there to help, which is very different from other companies that once paid will just disappear. We are thrilled with how our pool turned out and definitely recommend Larsen's Pool and Spa to anyone choosing a pool company. And hopefully, if you do choose Larsen's, you will be lucky enough to work with Dan and Reid as we can't recommend them enough.”

“Deciding on Larsen’s Pool and Spa to build our backyard oasis was the best decision we made! Our designer, Emily, really listened to not only the vision we had for a pool but also for our whole backyard. Her design truly captured our entire vision. Their transparency with their pricing was also impressive. Other pool companies didn’t provide a line-item price of each product used in building the pool. The honest pricing was refreshing to see. It was also amazing to go to the design studio and see all the options that were available within the price quoted. With other companies they would’ve been an upgrade. Reid was our Construction Manager. He was great to work with. Always available for questions, consistent communication, and always on site. The office personnel (Molly, Elicia and Cathy) were always polite, accommodating, upbeat and available for any questions I had. Justin and Mike serviced the pool once it was up and running. Justin was so patient with us. We had so many questions and took so many notes. Justin was available anytime we had a question about taking care of the pool. He was extremely knowledgeable. The owner, Eric, checked in on a regular basis just to see how everything was going and to see if I had any questions, concerns or issues. He’s very personable. Every professional that came out to do their part were excellent and perfectionist. You could tell they took pride in the job they were doing and made sure it was done right the first time. I will be honest; they were not the cheapest, but we felt as though it was money well spent without a doubt! They are the best at what they do, and they built a high-quality product. This includes the experts they hire, their customer service, communication, how they present the project to the customer, their honesty, their knowledge, quality products, their expertise and the overall great disposition of everyone at Larsen’s Pool and Spa. They understood and had a lot patience when I had to work with the builder and the CDD to come up with a “creative plan” to access my backyard. The CM Reid even spoke to them to help me out. I even got to meet Eric’s dad, he’s so funny and nice! This is truly a family operation that takes pride in their craft, and it shows. The building of our pool went very fast. I was so shocked! With all that said we broke ground on May 3, 2025, and they started filling the pool on July 1, 2025! On July 4th we officially broke it in! A pool built with Larsen’s Pool and Spa is money well spent! Thank you! Eric, we appreciate you and your fabulous team so much! Thank you for bringing our backyard oasis to life! Tanisha Dodson”

“We hired Larsen's Pool & Spa back in Oct 2017 after receiving several quotes from 3 other companies in the area. Larsen's started construction Jan 2018 and was completed with the pool March 2018. After carefully researching all the companies we received quotes from we decided to go with Larsen's for several reasons. For one, Larsen's has some of the best customer reviews on Angie's list (and other sites). In addition to positive reviews, we were won over by assurance of a quality product and a guarantee to standby that product for years to come. Larsen's was not the cheapest company we received quotes from which the owner, Eric, admitted this up front, but sometimes you have to take into account what you are getting for the higher quote. Larsen's customer service has been outstanding starting with Dan Meyer in Sales. Dan managed to put together a beautiful design that satisfied my wife and I; not an easy task. Everything from the automation to the water features were addressed just as we requested. He was in constant communication with us throughout the process. Once construction started our project manager, Jason, kept me in the loop every step of the way, to include nights and weekends! No nightmares here about not being able to reach your project manager; All our concerns were addressed right away each time we brought up an issue. I can assure you this was not what I heard from two of my neighbors who went with another company (that I won't name). The final project turned out to be more satisfying than what I had imagined; it's spectacular so thanks for that Jason! Justin & John, my start-up team, keeps that line of communication and great customer service going by ensuring that we know how to properly work every feature of the pool and its equipment. From the time we stepped in the design center this company has been honest and trustworthy; even returning money at the end of the project for services that were not needed. I can almost guarantee you won't find too many companies that would have been honest and stood by that agreement. Adding a pool to your home is a big financial obligation & investment, so you want to make sure you go with a company that understands that and delivers a quality project; Larsen's Pool & Spa is that company. These guys have been really great. Every project has a few ups & downs but what sets these guys apart from the competition is their ability to respond with action to the customer in a timely manner. So again, thanks to the entire team at Larsen's Pool & Spa; keep up that great customer service and building a quality product! Thanks for our little slice of paradise in our own back yard!”

“Larsen's Pool & Spa completed our pool for us in Sep 2023 and it greatly exceeded our expectations! Since this was our first pool build experience we wanted to wait 6 months after the build to make sure we still have the same enthusiasm that we had when it was completed and they did not disappoint. We started our process by doing a bunch of research and talking to our friends that are pool owners to learn from their experiences. After careful consideration we selected 3 pool builders in the local area with a heavy emphasis on: quality, price, warranty, and good communication throughout the build. We've heard alot of horror stories about pool builders and most of them involved very poor communication, so that was very important to us. Larsen's was the first company we submitted an inquiry with and I was very impressed when the owner, Eric, called us that same evening to learn more about what we wanted, provide an overview of what they offer, and answer any additional questions before handing us off to their designer for our area, Julie. Julie met us at the house a few days later for a site visit and initial consultation and we had a beautiful 3D rendering in hand just a few short days later. Julie really nailed the design and followed up with a quote. Although the price was a little higher than we originally planned for, it was very fair given all of the upgrades and equipment that we opted for. We went on to get a few more quotes and designs from a few more builders, and although both were a bit cheaper, the communication was starkly different and the quality of their product just didn't measure up so we decided to go with Larsen's. We met, Reid, our PM, a few days later. He went over the process with us again, answered some more questions and started the permit process. Within a few weeks we got the word that our permits were cleared and they broke ground on 5 July. For the sake of time, I won't cover all of the details of the entire timeline here, but I can tell you that it took exactly 60 days from the day they broke ground to the day we were filling up the pool and swimming and that was right on par with the estimated timeframe that we were given. Having an ongoing major construction project at your home can be a stressful situation, but Reid and his team did a great job of keeping us informed, moving things along on schedule and resolving any issues that occurred very quickly. Even after the build was completed and we submitted final payment we discovered a leak and notified the team at Larsen's and they sent a team out to resolve the issue the same day! All in all, we couldn't be any happier with the beautiful pool that Larsen's built for us and can honestly say that the final product greatly exceeded our expectations and we've been enjoying it so much since it was completed. Larsen's may not be the cheapest pool builder by comparison, but they build a great pool and provide an elevated experience throughout the build–making every dollar spent well worth it–Thank you to the entire staff at Larsen's that helped turn our vision into a resort-style reality! –Troy Coville Riverview, FL”
