Where in Margate these licences are registered

Licences are spread across 3 ZIP codes, with the largest concentrations in 33063 (158), 33068 (22), 33093 (2). This is the address on the licence record — an office or, often, a home — and not a service-area map. A certified contractor can legally work anywhere in Florida.

How long Margate contractors have been licensed

85 of the 182 active licences registered in Margate have been held for a decade or more, while 46 were first issued in the last three years. The median licence here dates from 2017. The longest-held active licence in the city belongs to Superior Surfaces, licensed since 1979.

146 of Margate's 182 active licences are certified — a "C" prefix, valid anywhere in Florida. 21 are mold licences (MRSR remediators and MRSA assessors), which the state issues under a separate board. 15 are registered — an "R" prefix, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration.

Hiring a contractor in Margate — FAQ

How many licensed contractors are there in Margate?

182 companies and licence holders have a current, active Florida state licence registered to an address in Margate — 2% of every active licence in the Fort Lauderdale area. That figure comes from the official DBPR public records refreshed on 11 Aug 2026, and counts licences, not employees.

Does a Margate address mean the contractor only works in Margate?

No. DBPR records the address the licence holder registered, which is often an office or a home, not a service area. A certified ("C" prefix) licence is valid anywhere in Florida, so many contractors listed here work across the whole Fort Lauderdale area — and contractors based in neighbouring cities work in Margate. Ask about travel and call-out charges.

What is the difference between the licence types I see on this page?

A "C" prefix means certified: the licence is issued by the state and valid anywhere in Florida. An "R" prefix means registered, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration. Mold licences (MRSR for remediators, MRSA for assessors) are issued separately again. Margate has 146 certified, 15 registered and 21 mold licences.

Is a longer-held licence better?

It is a signal, not a guarantee. 85 of Margate's 182 active licences have been held for ten years or more, and 46 were first issued within the last three. A long licence shows the holder has kept up renewals and stayed in business; it says nothing about the quality of any particular job. Always collect written quotes and proof of insurance.
