Manuel Cortinas

What this record tells you

Manuel Cortinas holds Florida licence CBC023163, a CBC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1982, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 831 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Miami area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 44 years of continuous licensure.

Manuel Cortinas is one of 31 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Coral Gables, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Manuel Cortinas additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
