Pinch A Penny

What this record tells you

Pinch A Penny holds Florida licence CPC1458258, 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 2012, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 31% of the 369 active pool & spa licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 14 years of continuous licensure.

Pinch A Penny is one of 22 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Palm Beach Gardens, 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.
