Why Candor

We tell you what's actually wrong. Then we fix it.

Our founder spent over a decade in the plumbing trade before starting this company, helping grow one of Tampa Bay's leading plumbing operations. That experience taught him that fixing the pipe is only part of the job. Showing up, communicating honestly, and standing behind the work is what actually earns trust.

No scare tactics. No mystery line items. Just licensed, insured work with your name on the invoice, not ours on your bill.

About Us

Built on Discipline. Run on Candor.

My name is Antonio Alicea, founder of Candor Plumbing Co. My journey has been shaped by discipline, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. Before dedicating myself fully to the plumbing industry, I spent 36 years in martial arts and 20 years training and competing as an amateur Muay Thai fighter, earning a second degree black belt along the way. The lessons I learned in the gym (hard work, accountability, respect, and resilience) continue to guide every decision I make as a business owner.

Founder & Licensed FL Plumbing Contractor

For more than a decade, I've built my career in the plumbing industry, helping grow one of the Tampa Bay area's leading plumbing companies while earning a reputation for quality workmanship and exceptional customer service. That experience taught me that fixing plumbing is only part of the job. Listening to customers, communicating honestly, showing up when you say you will, and standing behind your work are what truly earn trust. After becoming a licensed Florida plumbing contractor, I founded Candor Plumbing Co. to build a company centered on those principles.

Candor means honesty, openness, and sincerity, and that's exactly how I believe every customer deserves to be treated. My goal is to provide straightforward advice, clear upfront pricing, and solutions that are in your best interest. Whether it's a routine repair, an emergency service call, or a complete plumbing installation, I approach every project with the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence that I developed through years of martial arts training.

To me, Candor Plumbing Co. is more than a business. It's a reflection of who I am. I'm proud to serve homeowners and businesses throughout Pinellas County and the greater Tampa Bay area with integrity, professionalism, and genuine care. My mission is simple: deliver quality workmanship, build lasting relationships, and earn your trust through honest service, one customer, one home, and one job at a time.
