Plumb Handy LLC

What this record tells you

Plumb Handy LLC holds Florida licence CBC1253129, a CBC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 21% of the 482 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Plumb Handy LLC is one of 5 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Port Saint Joe, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Christopher Scott Howell additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
