Larry Bowles Pools Inc

What this record tells you

Larry Bowles Pools Inc holds Florida licence CPC048232, 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 1989, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 416 active pool & spa licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 37 years of continuous licensure.

Larry Bowles Pools Inc is one of 113 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Orlando, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
