Southern State Electrical Contractor Inc.

What this record tells you

Southern State Electrical Contractor Inc. holds Florida licence CBC1255904, 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 2007, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 23% 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 19 years of continuous licensure.

Southern State Electrical Contractor Inc. is one of 37 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Ft Myers, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Justin A Hilliard additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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.
