First Choice Plumbing Inc

What this record tells you

First Choice Plumbing Inc holds Florida licence CFC1430748, 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 2020, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 70% of the 105 active plumbing licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 6 years of continuous licensure.

First Choice Plumbing Inc is one of 6 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Hawthorne, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
