James F Howard Construction Inc

What this record tells you

This licence was first issued in 2009, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 43% of the 430 active general contracting licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 17 years of continuous licensure.

James F Howard Construction Inc is one of 216 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Pensacola, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. James F Howard 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 08/31/2026. 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.
