Penguin Pools

What this record tells you

Penguin Pools holds Florida licence CPC1457687, 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 24% of the 337 active pool & spa licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

Penguin Pools is one of 157 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Cape Coral, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Adam Wade Bechdel 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.
