C.D.S. Contractors, Inc.

What this record tells you

C.D.S. Contractors, Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1429046, 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 2014, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 46% of the 582 active plumbing licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 12 years of continuous licensure.

C.D.S. Contractors, Inc. is one of 183 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Orlando, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Steve L Murphy 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.
