Deaton Plumbing Service, Inc.

What this record tells you

Deaton Plumbing Service, Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1428278, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 35% of the 562 active plumbing licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 16 years of continuous licensure.

Deaton Plumbing Service, Inc. is one of 22 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Palm Beach Gardens, 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.
