CALL FOR ENTRIES: 2026 Top 50 Builders

We’re looking for the very best in the industry for our Top 50 Builders honor.

They say you are the company you keep, and now’s the time to find your place among the most prestigious group of pool/spa builders in the country.

We now are accepting applications for the 2026 PSN & Hayward Top 50 Builders program. Builders of all stripes are welcome, whether volume or boutique, single- or multiple offices or design centers. All locations in a single submission must be owned by the same party, however. In the case of franchises, this means franchisees must apply separately but can include all locations they hold in the same submission.

We are looking for all-around excellence. Applicants are judged based on five main criteria: total residential construction revenue, commitment to staff and training, industry involvement, web presence, and community involvement.

To qualify, companies must generate residential construction/renovation revenue of at least $2.5 million per year.

Fee: $300

Deadline: March 13, 2026, 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time.

UPDATE: The deadline will be extended to Friday, March 20 with a late entry fee of $400.

Go here to enter. 

Many thanks to Hayward for sponsoring this year’s program!
