Typical SplashDate™
228 Days
Median time from application to passed Pool Final across the completed cohort.
Considering A&E Pools?
Here is what Naples homeowners before you actually experienced.
Getting an estimated timeline from a pool builder is easy. The hard part is knowing if that estimate matches what actually happens when shovels hit the dirt. SplashDate™ analyzes official Collier County public permit records so Naples-area families can see how long completed custom pools actually took. We bypass the sales pitches and look straight at the public record: how active is the contractor, how fast do they move, and are their timelines stable?
We don’t write subjective reviews. We give you independent, data-backed context so you can confidently plan your backyard build before you sign your contract.

The Homeowner Question
How long did completed pools actually take?
For homeowners evaluating a Naples pool builder, the hardest question is often the simplest: how long did projects with this contractor actually take from the official county permit application date to a passed Pool Final inspection?
228 Days
The median historical timeline for 15 completed A&E Pools permits applied for between Jan. 1, 2024 and Jun. 30, 2025.
Timeline Consistency
How reliable is the 228-day timeline?
The middle 50% of completed projects in the cohort finished between approximately 193 and 322 days from application to Pool Final.
129-Day Span
The middle half of completed projects fell within this 129-day range from application to passed Pool Final.
Where the Time Went
A pool build doesn't run on one clock; it runs on two.
The total homeowner timeline begins when Collier County records the application and ends when the pool receives its passed Pool Final inspection. Breaking that timeline into stages provides critical context.

Permit Activity 2020–2026
A long running permit history in the Naples area pool market.
Permit volume does not measure construction quality, but it does show whether a contractor has a deep, active record of pool activity in Collier County.
2026 represents permits issued through June 30 only and should not be compared directly with a full calendar year.
Recent Momentum
How busy is this contractor right now?
Tracking recent permits shows whether a contractor's pipeline is growing, shrinking, or holding steady as you prepare to build.
