Southern Comfort Pools Inc

What this record tells you

Southern Comfort Pools Inc holds Florida licence CPC1456564, 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 2003, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 10% of the 69 active pool & spa licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 23 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Comfort Pools Inc is one of 41 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Ocala, 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.
