Fortress Roofing Inc.

What this record tells you

Fortress Roofing Inc. holds Florida licence CCC057552, a CCC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered roofing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1997, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 8% of the 397 active roofing licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 29 years of continuous licensure.

Fortress Roofing Inc. is one of 23 active roofing licences registered to an address in Seminole, 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.

• Compare at least three written quotes from other roofing contractors in St. Petersburg & Clearwater.
