Pinch-A-Penny

What this record tells you

Pinch-A-Penny holds Florida licence CPC1460517, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 60% of the 316 active pool & spa licences based in the Miami area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2023. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Pinch-A-Penny is one of 4 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in North Miami Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. William Alejandro 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.
