David R Stokes Plumbing Inc

What this record tells you

David R Stokes Plumbing Inc holds Florida licence RF11067188, 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 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 21% of the 195 active plumbing licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

David R Stokes Plumbing Inc is one of 40 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Palm Bay, 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.
