Waterford Pools, LLC

What this record tells you

Waterford Pools, LLC holds Florida licence CPC1457498, 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 2007, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 20% of the 356 active pool & spa licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 19 years of continuous licensure.

Waterford Pools, LLC is one of 122 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Sarasota, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Richard Leroy Strong additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
