Company Snapshot

Robert Dennis Murphy’s Florida Certified Pool/Spa Contractor license, CPC056895, has been associated with Lakeland’s Davenport Post Pools since 1996, per state records.

Specialties & Service Area

Permit records show a notably larger-scale project profile than most builders in this dataset — recent permits carry estimated values of $200,000, $437,929, and $488,000, alongside commercial-category permits, pointing toward high-end residential and commercial pool work. Recent activity clusters in Orlando’s Florida Center and Baldwin Park neighborhoods.

The permit count is modest, consistent with a business built around fewer, larger-scale jobs rather than high volume.

Bottom Line

A license dating back to 1996 and a track record of large, high-value permitted projects point to an established builder with commercial and high-end residential experience. Public review data for this profile is limited to a single rating, so it’s worth requesting recent project references directly given the scale of work this license history suggests.
