American Pools and Spas has been named a Gold Winner in the 2026 Orlando's Best Awards, a distinction awarded through public voting by Orlando-area residents. The recognition places the custom pool builder at the top of its category in a program that celebrates local businesses for exceptional quality, reliability, and service across Central Florida.
The award carries particular weight because it is decided entirely by community votes, not by an editorial panel or industry judges. The Orlando's Best program invites residents to nominate and vote for the businesses they know, trust, and recommend most. Candidates in each service category receive Gold, Silver, or Bronze distinctions based on community voting tallies. Earning Gold therefore represents the highest level of public trust within the Orlando community, making it a meaningful benchmark for local consumer sentiment.
Team members Jonas Anderson and Haylee Gwynn represented American Pools and Spas at the official awards ceremony, accepting the Gold Winner recognition on behalf of the entire company. In an official release, the company expressed gratitude to the Orlando community: "We thank the people of Orlando who made this award possible. Without you and your support, we would not be here to achieve and receive this award. This award is a reflection of our commitment to excellence, and providing top-level customer support. Customer satisfaction is our #1 priority, and this award is a true testament of that policy."
The implications of this recognition extend beyond a single trophy. For homeowners considering a major investment in a custom pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, or pool remodeling project, third-party validation from neighbors can influence hiring decisions. In a market where numerous contractors compete for attention, a community-voted Gold award offers a signal of reliability and satisfaction that advertising alone cannot easily replicate. It also raises expectations: maintaining that level of trust will require consistent service quality as the company continues to serve Orlando and surrounding Central Florida areas.
