What this record tells you

W. W. Gay Mechanical Contractor of Orlando, Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1429269, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 52% 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 11 years of continuous licensure.

W. W. Gay Mechanical Contractor of Orlando, Inc. is one of 259 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Jacksonville, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Paul Vernon Jr Jones additionally holds 5 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.
