1st Choice Contracting Pool Services, LLC

What this record tells you

1st Choice Contracting Pool Services, LLC holds Florida licence CPC1458106, 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 2011, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 30% of the 279 active pool & spa licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 15 years of continuous licensure.

1st Choice Contracting Pool Services, LLC is one of 105 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Tampa, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Sara Louise Nivison 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.
