American Pool Service

What this record tells you

American Pool Service holds Florida licence CPC1457625, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 21% of the 394 active pool & spa licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

American Pool Service is one of 39 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Fort Lauderdale, 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.
