R.D. Souza, Inc.

What this record tells you

R.D. Souza, Inc. holds Florida licence CBC1268007, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 76% of the 831 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Miami area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active home building & remodeling licence registered to an address in Opa Locka in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding Miami area when collecting comparison quotes.

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.
