W J Higgins Inc

What this record tells you

W J Higgins Inc holds Florida licence CBC060167, 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 2001, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 11% 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 25 years of continuous licensure.

W J Higgins Inc is one of 536 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Cape Coral, 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.
