Swordfish Plumbing

What this record tells you

Swordfish Plumbing holds Florida licence CFC1430159, 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 53% 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 8 years of continuous licensure.

Swordfish Plumbing is one of 11 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Hobe Sound, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. James Michael Micolo additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence 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.
