The Top 50 Builders program honors the most accomplished pool and spa contractors in the nation, highlighting those who set the standard for innovation, professionalism, and business performance. In 2024, this elite group collectively generated an impressive $1.76 billion in revenue, with $1.35 billion attributed to residential construction and $1.2 billion specifically from new pool builds. Altogether, they delivered more than 10,000 pools, averaging over $110,000 per project—a figure that underscores the scope, scale, and quality of their work.
What makes the list especially compelling is the diversity of companies represented. On one end of the spectrum, a private-equity-backed consolidator completed more than 1,700 pools in a single year, while at the other end, a boutique builder constructed just 17 projects. This range demonstrates that excellence in the industry isn’t defined solely by volume, but also by the ability to operate successfully within very different business models and markets.
To earn a place on the Top 50 list, companies undergo a rigorous evaluation process. Each candidate is measured against five pillars of excellence: residential revenue, staff management and training, industry involvement, digital presence, and community service. This multi-faceted approach ensures that honorees represent not just financial success, but also leadership, long-term vision, and commitment to strengthening the industry and the communities they serve.
