Giles Waterscape

What this record tells you

Giles Waterscape holds Florida licence CPC1460271, 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 72% of the 69 active pool & spa licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 3 years of continuous licensure.

Giles Waterscape is one of 3 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Silver Springs, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Michael Robert Darley 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 08/31/2026. 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.
