Pinch A Penny

What this record tells you

Pinch A Penny holds Florida licence CPC1460141, 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 2023, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 73% of the 203 active pool & spa licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 3 years of continuous licensure.

Pinch A Penny is one of 20 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Fort Pierce, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Troy A Ingersoll 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 08/31/2026. 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.
