Willingham Plumbing Co

What this record tells you

Willingham Plumbing Co holds Florida licence RF0048912, a RF classification which authorises work as a certified/registered plumbing contractor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 1985, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 3% of the 148 active plumbing licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 41 years of continuous licensure.

Willingham Plumbing Co is one of 4 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Valparaiso, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2027. 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.
