Geotherm of S.W. Florida, Inc.

What this record tells you

Geotherm of S.W. Florida, Inc. holds Florida licence CPC1458774, 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 34% 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 11 years of continuous licensure.

Geotherm of S.W. Florida, Inc. is one of 94 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Fort Myers, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. John James Puterbaugh 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.
