Shore Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Shore Construction LLC holds Florida licence RP252555600, 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 2022, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 59% of the 56 active pool & spa licences based in the Key West & The Keys area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 4 years of continuous licensure.

Shore Construction LLC is one of 23 active pool & spa licences registered to an address in Key West, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Mark J Maclaughlin additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
