Barthlow Pools Inc

What this record tells you

Barthlow Pools Inc holds Florida licence CPC049390, 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 35 active pool & spa licences based in the Tallahassee area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 37 years of continuous licensure.

Barthlow Pools Inc is one of 27 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Tallahassee, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
