Tropical Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc.

What this record tells you

Tropical Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1429139, 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 42% of the 315 active plumbing licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 12 years of continuous licensure.

Tropical Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc. is one of 28 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Palm City, 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.
