Hugh Gerard Gibbons

What this record tells you

Hugh Gerard Gibbons holds Florida licence CFC1429895, 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 2017, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 45% of the 559 active plumbing licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 9 years of continuous licensure.

Hugh Gerard Gibbons is one of 12 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Apollo Beach, 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.
