Vip Pools Inc

What this record tells you

Vip Pools Inc holds Florida licence RP252554917, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 16% 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 21 years of continuous licensure.

Vip Pools Inc is one of 3 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Ellenton, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
