Ernest Liz Plumbing

What this record tells you

Ernest Liz Plumbing holds Florida licence CFC1431038, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 64% of the 70 active plumbing licences based in the Key West & The Keys area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 5 years of continuous licensure.

Ernest Liz Plumbing is one of 23 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Key West, 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.
