Vanguard Plumbing, Inc

What this record tells you

Vanguard Plumbing, Inc holds Florida licence CFC1431999, 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 2023, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 76% of the 136 active plumbing licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 3 years of continuous licensure.

Vanguard Plumbing, Inc is one of 70 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Lakeland, 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.
