Carlos Lopez-Couto

What this record tells you

Carlos Lopez-Couto holds Florida licence CFC032626, 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 1984, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 2% of the 245 active plumbing licences based in the Daytona Beach & Volusia area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 42 years of continuous licensure.

Carlos Lopez-Couto is one of 37 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Deland, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
