Most of these pool & spa subcontractors are based in Panama City (12), Panama City Beach (12), Santa Rosa Beach (6), Marianna (5), Miramar Beach (5), and Defuniak Springs (3) — plus 20 more across the metro.
Pool and spa subcontractors work the full lifecycle of commercial and residential pools — new pool and spa construction (excavation, shell, plumbing, equipment pad, deck and finish), pool renovations and resurfacing, and routine servicing (cleaning, water chemistry, equipment swaps and repairs). On commercial jobs the construction side prices from the pool drawings and aquatics spec, coordinates with site, electrical, gas, and plumbing on the equipment pad, and pulls permits and schedules inspections on its portion of the work.

A pool RFQ usually points at the pool drawings, the aquatics spec, and the equipment schedule, with a clear scope: shell type and size, finish, plumbing, equipment package, deck and coping, and any automation or chemical-treatment system. For bid prep a GC typically wants pricing broken out by scope so bids compare cleanly, confirmation the sub priced to the spec book, and a note on the split between construction scope (CILB-licensed) and any servicing or warranty scope. Site-visit-required jobs — common for pool work, since site access and equipment pad location drive the price — will say so up front.
Pool and spa work splits into two licensing paths in Florida. Construction is a state-licensed trade, regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR — the Certified Pool/Spa Contractor (CPC) license authorizes construction, renovation, and structural repair of pools and spas anywhere in the state, and a registered tier limits the same scope to a local jurisdiction. Routine servicing and maintenance — cleaning, water chemistry, equipment swaps — is largely not state-licensed and is typically handled under local registration plus general-liability insurance. A GC's due diligence depends on the scope: confirm the CILB pool/spa license for construction, and confirm local registration and insurance for servicing-only contractors.
It depends on the scope. Pool and spa construction is regulated by the CILB under the DBPR — the Certified Pool/Spa Contractor (CPC) license is required for new construction, renovation, and structural repair. Routine servicing and maintenance is largely not state-licensed and is typically handled under local registration.
Construction contractors hold a CILB pool/spa license and build, renovate, or structurally repair pools and spas. Service contractors handle cleaning, water chemistry, and equipment swaps — work that's generally not state-licensed and is regulated locally if at all.
The pool drawings, the aquatics spec, the equipment schedule, shell size and finish, plumbing and equipment scope, deck and coping, any automation, the bid deadline, and whether a site visit is required.
Yes. GCs post an RFQ and invite matched subs by trade and service area; invited subs are notified and can submit a bid for your bid prep.
Listings are seeded from public Florida DBPR license data, and a sub can claim its listing and upload a credential for a one-time review. The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the path for a pool construction sub holding a CILB pool/spa license — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, which is the natural badge for servicing-only contractors that work under local registration rather than a state license; a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
