Downtown Pools and Bbqs

What this record tells you

Downtown Pools and Bbqs holds Florida licence CPC1458736, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 45% of the 42 active pool & spa licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Downtown Pools and Bbqs is one of 2 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Starke, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
