James Cross Inc

What this record tells you

James Cross Inc holds Florida licence CBC050064, 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 1990, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% 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 36 years of continuous licensure.

James Cross Inc is one of 498 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Miami, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
