Joel Douglas III Ware

What this record tells you

Joel Douglas III Ware holds Florida licence CBC1265378, 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 2022, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 65% of the 1,513 active home building & remodeling licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 4 years of continuous licensure.

Joel Douglas III Ware is one of 389 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
