Benchmark Contracting Inc

What this record tells you

Benchmark Contracting Inc holds Florida licence CBC1256756, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 28% of the 952 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

Benchmark Contracting Inc is one of 74 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Plantation, 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.
