Sunshine State Plumbing

What this record tells you

Sunshine State Plumbing holds Florida licence CFC1426859, 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 31% of the 461 active plumbing licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Sunshine State Plumbing is one of 8 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Atlantic Beach, 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.
