Modern Design Pools & Outdoor Living, LLC

What this record tells you

Modern Design Pools & Outdoor Living, LLC holds Florida licence CPC020280, a CPC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered pool/spa contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1981, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 279 active pool & spa licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 45 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active pool & spa licence registered to an address in San Antonio in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding Tampa area when collecting comparison quotes.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
