Elite Rooter

What this record tells you

Elite Rooter holds Florida licence CFC1430084, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 48% 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 8 years of continuous licensure.

Elite Rooter is one of 9 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Temple Terrace, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Charles Simon Bruce additionally holds 3 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.

• Compare at least three written quotes from other plumbing contractors in Tampa.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
