What this record tells you

Paradise Plumbing, Air & Electric holds Florida licence CFC1433365, 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 2025, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 80% of the 734 active plumbing licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Paradise Plumbing, Air & Electric is one of 94 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Fort Lauderdale, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Matthew Lawrence Rich 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 08/31/2028. 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.
