Rl Smith Construction and Remodeling Inc.

What this record tells you

Rl Smith Construction and Remodeling Inc. holds Florida licence CBC1260287, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 45% of the 1,203 active home building & remodeling licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Rl Smith Construction and Remodeling Inc. is one of 92 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Palm Beach Gardens, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Richard L Smith 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.
