James Emerson Jr Corace

What this record tells you

James Emerson Jr Corace holds Florida licence CBC056917, 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 1993, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 1,611 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 33 years of continuous licensure.

James Emerson Jr Corace is one of 505 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Fort Myers, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
