Barnes Pools

What this record tells you

Barnes Pools holds Florida licence CPC057248, 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 2001, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 11% of the 337 active pool & spa licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 25 years of continuous licensure.

Barnes Pools is one of 94 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Fort Myers, 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.
