Gulf Coast Plumbing Clearwater Inc

What this record tells you

Gulf Coast Plumbing Clearwater Inc holds Florida licence CFC019116, a CFC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered plumbing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1981, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 435 active plumbing licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 45 years of continuous licensure.

Gulf Coast Plumbing Clearwater Inc is one of 82 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Clearwater, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
