Tropical Retreat Pools and Spas, Inc.

What this record tells you

Tropical Retreat Pools and Spas, Inc. holds Florida licence CPC1457023, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 20% of the 255 active pool & spa licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Tropical Retreat Pools and Spas, Inc. is one of 102 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Jacksonville, 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.
