Pinch A Penny

What this record tells you

Pinch A Penny holds Florida licence RP252555141, 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 2009, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 22% 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 17 years of continuous licensure.

Pinch A Penny is one of 211 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Naples, 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.
