First Place Pools, LLC

What this record tells you

First Place Pools, LLC holds Florida licence RP252555488, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 50% 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 8 years of continuous licensure.

First Place Pools, LLC is one of 5 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Port Richey, 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.
