Plumbing by Paul LLC

What this record tells you

Plumbing by Paul LLC holds Florida licence CFC1430367, 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 2019, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 54% of the 168 active plumbing licences based in the Spring Hill & Nature Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 7 years of continuous licensure.

Plumbing by Paul LLC is one of 31 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Hudson, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Hugh Edward Ward additionally holds 2 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 08/31/2026. 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.
