Iron Wood Builders, Inc.

What this record tells you

Iron Wood Builders, Inc. holds Florida licence CPC1456817, 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 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 17% 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 22 years of continuous licensure.

Iron Wood Builders, Inc. is one of 41 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Ocala, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Rick Lorick additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
