Howard B. Homes LLC

What this record tells you

Howard B. Homes LLC holds Florida licence CRC044760, a CRC 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 1988, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 7% of the 574 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 38 years of continuous licensure.

Howard B. Homes LLC is one of 132 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Melbourne, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
