Tampa Gunite

What this record tells you

Tampa Gunite holds Florida licence CPC056733, 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 1994, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 5% 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 32 years of continuous licensure.

Tampa Gunite is one of 105 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Tampa, 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.
