Rafael Inc

What this record tells you

Rafael Inc holds Florida licence CBC1258047, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 46% of the 1,681 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 16 years of continuous licensure.

Rafael Inc is one of 23 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Callahan, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Michael Clayton Hartley 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.

• Confirm the name on your contract matches Rafael Inc or its qualifying agent, Michael Clayton Hartley.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other home building & remodeling contractors in Jacksonville.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
