Paradise Pools

What this record tells you

Paradise Pools holds Florida licence RP0061224, a RP classification which authorises work as a certified/registered pool/spa contractor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 1991, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 3% of the 230 active pool & spa licences based in the Naples area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2021. That is 35 years of continuous licensure.

Paradise Pools is one of 211 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Naples, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Rickey Lee Austin 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 08/31/2027. 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.
