My Favorite Pool Builder, Inc.

If you’re looking for someone to build you a quick, cheap pool to raise the value of your house so you can hurry up and sell it, you probably need to find someone else. If you’re looking for a someone to build you a high-quality pool the right way that should last you a lifetime, I highly recommend My Favorite Pool Builder. Steve and his family are hardworking, no nonsense pool builders. They built my pool in Jacksonville, Florida, and it is exactly what I wanted. I watched them build it every step of the way. I wasn’t watching to make sure they did it right, but more to marvel at all the things they were doing to make sure my pool never had a problem in the future. With proper care, I have no doubt that even if I live to 100, my pool will still be looking and working great!

My Favorite Pool Builder installed a fiberglass pool in my backyard in Gainesville, Fl, and I couldn’t be happier. Steve was very helpful with the design options for a pool that would fit my backyard. Pricing was straight forward and transparent. The company has been reliable and communicative the entire process, and his team worked long days to get the pool installed. I was impressed by their expertise and competency with the project. I’m so happy with the final result, and am glad that I worked with this company. If the opportunity arises, I would not hesitate to work with them again.

My wife and I live in Tallahassee, Florida and have an older fiberglass pool that was in much need of repair/refinishing. However, we found that it's almost impossible to find a contractor that will repair a fiberglass swimming pool. It was our good fortune that My Favorite Pool Builder was recommended by a prominent pool company here in Tallahassee. They are certified to apply EcoFINISH as a resurfacing option, and the rest is history. There's plenty of information on this unique product so there is no need to describe it in detail here. My Favorite Pool Builder out of Lake City, Florida bailed us out when we had run out of options other than completely replacing the pool. At a fraction of the cost for replacing the pool, my wife and I now have a beautiful "new" pool that we are very happy with and which far exceeds our expectations. What a relief! This family owned business is competent, friendly and polite, quality oriented and stands by its work. My wife and I highly recommend them. Steve Wharton January 21, 2021

I cannot say enough wonderful things about ‘My Favorite Pool Builder’. Steve Cronin was with us from the very beginning; My husband and I built a new construction home in Gainesville Florida and we knew that we wanted a fiberglass pool. However, our builder wanted to charge us a fortune (as a supervision fee) to add a pool to our home as it was being built, so we decided to wait until we closed. Before we ever made a down payment, Steve came out (before the drywall was even installed in our home) and told us where to run the electrical and how many amps we are going to need for the pool and spa (this was a significant savings for us). He made several more trips out and countless hours on the phone to help us with planning electrical and concrete slabs. He never asked us for any money to come out and help us “plan” our dream pool. Our favorite thing about Steve is that he is SO HONEST. He is genuine, extremely professional, and flat out the real deal. He will tell you the truth, regardless of whether or not it will affect him negatively. This is IMPOSSIBLE to find in ANY contractor these days. Most only care about how much money they can make off of you - this is NOT the case with ‘My Favorite Pool Builder’. He walked us through everything we were buying and what the pro’s and con’s were for each. Once our pool permit went through, we met the rest of the Cronin Family, as his 4 sons (known as the boys) and his nephew, who actually installed the pool/spa. What an awesome, HARDWORKING family! Every single member of Steve’s team is extremely respectful, caring, outgoing, responsive, and attentive. They made sure everything was done correct even if they had to take it all apart and do it again. They don’t believe in cutting corners. My husband and I actually made their job harder, as we were interested in installing a special custom spa and waterfall that they had never worked with before. Most contractors would have refused to install a product that they weren’t familiar with. However, they went above and beyond to make their customers happy. And the result was AMAZING! Our pool and spa are all completed and we could not be happier with the result. It is our absolute dream backyard. At the end of this project, we consider the Cronin’s family. They treated us like Gold! If you are considering building a pool, My Favorite Pool Builder is DEFINITELY the way to go!!

Installed fiberglass pool, deck and coordinated the construction of screen room around pool. The pool installation was great and we were informed every step of the way. The screen room was installed by another contractor and was not happy with that company. As far as My Favorite Pool they were very good. I am really pleased with the pool.

We hired My Favorite Pool Builder to build our pool at our home in Perry, FL after talking to multiple pool contractors. Steve was very helpful and much more professional than the other contractors we talked to. My Favorite Pool Builder’s pricing was extremely competitive with the others, although once complete we feel that we got an excellent installation that was better than we would have received from others for the same pricing. Steve mapped out our pool location with an aerial drone and software that made a virtual picture of how our pool and yard would look upon completion and it was done to perfection! The installation crew was very professional and took great pains to make sure everything was installed correctly; they even did some things that they didn’t have to do and weren’t expected! I’ve worked with many contractors in building multiple homes and many projects in my professional life, and My Favorite Pool Builder was one of the very best I’ve every worked with. We’re extremely happy with our new pool and how it was installed and whole heartily recommend My Favorite Pool Builder to anyone considering a new pool. Bob
