Richard Thompson Corporation

What this record tells you

Richard Thompson Corporation holds Florida licence CBC051324, 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 8% of the 1,681 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 36 years of continuous licensure.

Richard Thompson Corporation is one of 79 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Jacksonville Beach, 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.
