Whitehead Services

What this record tells you

Whitehead Services holds Florida licence CFC019169, 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 0% of the 109 active plumbing licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 45 years of continuous licensure.

Whitehead Services is one of 36 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Panama City, 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.

• Compare at least three written quotes from other plumbing contractors in Panama City.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
