Next Generation Pools Inc

What this record tells you

Next Generation Pools Inc holds Florida licence RP252555175, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 29% of the 242 active pool & spa licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 16 years of continuous licensure.

Next Generation Pools Inc is one of 41 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, 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.
