Pools by Lagasse Inc

What this record tells you

Pools by Lagasse Inc holds Florida licence CPCA15321, 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 1981, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 356 active pool & spa licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 45 years of continuous licensure.

Pools by Lagasse Inc is one of 122 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Sarasota, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Francis Joseph Jr Lagasse 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.
