NAPLES, FL · ABOUT
One person, one trade, one schedule
Splash Pools is Clayton Waggoner. He owns the company and he is on your job. That is the whole structure, and everything else on this page follows from it.
In short
What this work actually involves
Splash Pools LLC is a Naples, Florida pool contractor owned by Clayton Waggoner, Managing Member. It is registered with the Florida Division of Corporations as document L12000084569 and serves Naples, Collier County, Marco Island, Bonita Springs and Estero. The business covers pool structure, pool equipment and paver hardscape as a single trade rather than subcontracting the parts it does not do.
Part one
Who actually turns up?
Clayton Waggoner, the owner. Not a rotating crew and not a subcontractor for the parts a pool company usually farms out. That is why the reviews on this site name a person rather than a company, and why two of the four mention how quickly he got there rather than how big the operation is.
Larger pool companies send whichever crew is free that week, and most of them subcontract the deck. That is a reasonable way to run a bigger business and it is a bad experience when something goes wrong at the seam between two trades, because the seam is where nobody has ownership.
Margaret G. in Lely Resort had a neglected pool transformed and described a prompt turnaround at a fair price. Terry H. in Pine Ridge Estates described the work as neat, orderly, on time, with communication he could follow. Diana B. in Naples Park had a broken heater replaced on very short notice. Connor F. on Marco Island came back a second time.
Four reviews is not a large number and we are not going to present it as one. What it is, is four different neighborhoods, two different services, and one name in all four.
Part two
What can you actually verify about this business?
Three things, all in public records you can check without asking us. The Florida corporate registration, the DBPR contractor license, and the Google Business Profile. We would rather tell you where to look than ask you to trust a badge on a website, because a badge on a website is a picture.
The corporate registration is Splash Pools LLC, Florida document L12000084569, searchable by name at the Florida Division of Corporations. That confirms the entity, its status and its registered agent. It is not a contractor license and we do not present it as one.
The contractor license is separate and it is the one that matters for the work. Florida pool and spa contractors are licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and any license can be checked in about a minute at the DBPR licensee search. Ask us for the number, then look it up. Ask every other quote for theirs too.
That last part is the useful advice, not the sales pitch. Most owners never check, and checking takes a minute.
Part three
Why does one trade doing all three parts matter?
Because the parts meet each other. Waterline tile and coping both sit on the bond beam. The interior finish terminates at the tile. The deck ties into the coping. Split across a pool company and a paver company, that seam belongs to nobody, and it is the first place a badly sequenced job shows.
Sequence is the practical version. Shell and bond beam repair before finish. Bond beam before tile and coping. Coping set before the deck ties into it. Get that order wrong and new work gets demolished to reach old work, which is how a six week project becomes a season.
It also changes what a repair looks like. When underground plumbing has to be reached under a deck, the same crew opens the smallest area they can, makes the repair, pressure tests it, and resets the pavers. There is no second contractor and no second wait.
Naples has good paver specialists and good pool companies. What it has very little of is one trade that owns pool structure, pool equipment and hardscape together. See pool remodeling, pool repair and decks and pavers.
Part four
What will you not tell me?
A price before someone has seen the pool. A schedule before we know what the shell needs. A star rating we have not verified. A years-in-business figure we cannot evidence. And we will not tell you a cosmetic patch will hold on a crack that is being driven by pressure under the shell.
The pricing one is the most common frustration and it is the most defensible. Ranking a small resurface and a full remodel with tile, coping and a rebuilt deck under one number would be a made-up number. Scope drives it, and scope comes from looking.
The rating one is deliberate. There are four testimonials on this site and four testimonials is not a star rating. Publishing an aggregate we have not verified against the real Google profile would be inventing a review signal, which is exactly what the 2026 search spam updates are built to catch and exactly what we would tell a client not to do.
The years figure is the one people expect and do not get. The corporate record cannot support a long-standing claim: the entity was renamed to Splash Pools LLC in 2025. Clayton may well have far more time in the trade than the company has existed, and when he puts that in writing it will appear here as his experience rather than the company's. Until then, its absence is the honest answer.
Part five
Where do you work?
Naples and Collier County, plus Marco Island, Bonita Springs and Estero. That covers the waterfront neighborhoods, the gated and golf communities, the established inland residential areas and the newer east county builds, each of which breaks pools in a different way.
The waterfront is a movement and water table problem: Royal Harbor, Aqualane Shores, Isles of Capri and Port Royal see deck movement near the seawall and leaks that the ground hides. Park Shore and The Moorings take salt air straight off the Gulf, which reaches the mortar bed behind the tile before it touches the tile.
The gated communities are an access and review problem as much as a technical one. Grey Oaks and Quail West apply architectural review to anything visible from the street, and Pelican Bay and Park Shore sit empty from spring to autumn, which is both a scheduling opportunity and the reason automation is worth having.
Inland is an age and water problem. Old Naples and Coquina Sands are full of seventies and eighties pools due for everything at once. Golden Gate Estates is on well water, which stains a light interior finish. Full list on service areas.
Straight answers
Questions Naples owners actually ask
Clayton Waggoner Owner, Splash Pools LLC Clayton · Owner
The company registration is public and you can read it yourself: Splash Pools LLC, Florida document L12000084569. We do not publish a years-in-business figure, because the corporate record was amended and renamed in 2025 and a long-standing claim would not be accurate. If you want to know how long Clayton has worked on pools, ask him directly. Clayton · Owner
Ask us for the license number and verify it yourself at the DBPR licensee search rather than taking a claim on a website at face value. We would give any homeowner the same advice about every quote they receive, including ours. Clayton · Owner
The deck work is part of the same job on the same schedule, which is the entire reason the business covers pool structure and hardscape rather than one or the other. If any part of a specific job were going to be subcontracted, you would be told that before you agreed to it. Clayton · Owner
Yes, and it is common here. We can assess, send a written finding and deal with you on the decisions while doing the work around her. If she is on her own with it, automation is worth discussing at the same time, because it lets heat, lights and pump schedules be checked remotely rather than by someone walking out to the pad. Clayton · Owner
Those are the four published on the business's own site, carried over unedited. We are not going to inflate that number or attach a star rating we have not verified against the real Google profile. Four named customers in four different neighborhoods is what exists, so that is what is shown. Clayton · Owner

Ask each one what caused the failure, not what they will replace. A contractor who has diagnosed it answers in a sentence: the bond beam has gone, the mortar bed behind the tile has failed, the crack is being driven by pressure under the shell. One who has only looked at the symptom will describe the same visible work again in different words. Then ask all three for their license number and check it.Talk to Clayton
