W B Brown Inc

What this record tells you

W B Brown Inc holds Florida licence CBC060464, 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 18% of the 965 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 25 years of continuous licensure.

W B Brown Inc is one of 50 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Hobe Sound, 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.
