By the Bay Plumbing and Gas LLC

What this record tells you

By the Bay Plumbing and Gas LLC holds Florida licence CFC1432955, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 76% of the 218 active plumbing licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

By the Bay Plumbing and Gas LLC is one of 85 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Pensacola, 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.
