Payne & Son Plumbing & Heating, Inc.

What this record tells you

Payne & Son Plumbing & Heating, Inc. holds Florida licence RF11067588, 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 2014, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 41% 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 12 years of continuous licensure.

Payne & Son Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is one of 24 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Cantonment, 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.
