J F Smith Design & Build Inc

What this record tells you

J F Smith Design & Build Inc holds Florida licence CCCA56762, 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 1994, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 894 active roofing licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 32 years of continuous licensure.

J F Smith Design & Build Inc is one of 20 active roofing licences registered to an address in Ft Lauderdale, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Frank J Smith additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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