Licensed. Verified. On Record.
Three active Florida state licenses. Every one searchable at MyFloridaLicense.com.
Florida law requires separate licenses for pool construction, general contracting, and plumbing work. Acqua Bella holds all three, issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The records below are screenshots taken directly from the state's licensing portal. You can verify each one yourself using the link beneath each record.
Note: These licenses are held by Richard Drouet, the qualifying agent and owner of Drome Contracting Services Inc., operating as Acqua Bella Pools & Spa. Florida law requires licenses to be held by the individual qualifying agent.

Why Florida requires three separate licenses.
Pool License (CPC)
Required for all pool construction and repair work. Florida does not allow a general contractor to build a pool without this specific certification.
General Contractor (CGC)
Covers the structural and civil work around the pool: decks, retaining walls, equipment pads, and any structural modifications to your property.
Plumbing License (CFC)
Required for all underground plumbing, gas line connections, and equipment piping. Many pool builders subcontract this work. We hold it in-house.
