What this record tells you

Southern Pool Designs holds Florida licence CPC1461109, 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 2025, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 84% of the 416 active pool & spa licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Southern Pool Designs is one of 19 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Lake Mary, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. John Mark Kirkland 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.
