Cool Pools by Gerry, Inc

What this record tells you

Cool Pools by Gerry, Inc holds Florida licence CPC1458161, 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 23% 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 15 years of continuous licensure.

Cool Pools by Gerry, Inc is one of 6 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Lighthouse Point, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Gerard E Arsenault 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 08/31/2028. 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.
