Lake City Plumbing, Inc.

What this record tells you

Lake City Plumbing, Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1428686, 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 2012, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 50% of the 105 active plumbing licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 14 years of continuous licensure.

Lake City Plumbing, Inc. is one of 20 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Lake City, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Roger Douglas Whiddon additionally holds 4 other active Florida licences 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.
