Pools by John Garner Inc

What this record tells you

Pools by John Garner Inc holds Florida licence CPC049389, 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 3% of the 255 active pool & spa licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 37 years of continuous licensure.

Pools by John Garner Inc is one of 102 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Jacksonville, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. John Nance Sr Garner additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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.
