R J Bernath Construction

What this record tells you

R J Bernath Construction holds Florida licence CRC044806, 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 6% of the 1,681 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 38 years of continuous licensure.

R J Bernath Construction is one of 47 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in St Johns, 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.
