Hc Builds

What this record tells you

Hc Builds holds Florida licence CPC1460091, 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 2022, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 64% of the 192 active pool & spa licences based in the Daytona Beach & Volusia area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 4 years of continuous licensure.

Hc Builds is one of 11 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Flagler Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Richard James Smith additionally holds 3 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 08/31/2026. 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.
