Coastside Plumbing, LLC

What this record tells you

Coastside Plumbing, LLC holds Florida licence CFC1426716, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 20% of the 479 active plumbing licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Coastside Plumbing, LLC is one of 94 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Bradenton, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Kenneth Lee Jr Puffenburger 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.
