What this record tells you

South Shore Pools Inc. holds Florida licence CPC1460744, 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 68% of the 279 active pool & spa licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

South Shore Pools Inc. is one of 3 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Ruskin, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Joseph M II Sorrells 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.
