Southern Poolscapes LLC

What this record tells you

Southern Poolscapes LLC holds Florida licence CPC1458821, 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 2016, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 50% of the 56 active pool & spa licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 10 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Poolscapes LLC is one of 28 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Pensacola, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Steven Cameron Rhodes additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
