44 licensed pool installers in Rockland County. Data sourced from Rockland County Consumer Protection — the official licensing office.

Last verified July 05, 2026.
What do "licensed," "bonded," and "insured" actually mean?
Licensed means Rockland County checked the contractor's work experience and insurance before letting them operate here. If a licensed contractor treats you badly, you can file a complaint with the county — real leverage you don't have with an unlicensed one.
Bonded means the contractor has a surety bond — money held by an insurance company that you may be able to claim if the contractor takes your deposit and doesn't finish, or the work fails. Not every licensed contractor is bonded; ask directly.
Insured means their insurance — not your homeowner's policy — pays if a worker is hurt or your property is damaged during the job. Ask to see a current certificate of insurance before work starts.
What this license requires: Rockland County issues this license only after an applicant shows 4 years experience and successful completion of the APSP Certified Maintenance Specialist (CMS) (or higher) or equivalent certification or training as determined by the Director; or 2 years experience and the successful completion of the APSP Certified Building Professional or equivalent certifications or training as determined by the Director. In addition, proof of current applicable APSP certification is required at time of license renewal — plus proof of insurance. Everyone in the list below has cleared that bar.
Permit note: Much of this work requires a permit from your town building department in Rockland County. See our building permits guide before work begins — a licensed pool installer can usually pull the permit for you.
