Lewis B Ames LLC

What this record tells you

Lewis B Ames LLC holds Florida licence CRC045842, 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 11% of the 704 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Daytona Beach & Volusia area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2010. That is 38 years of continuous licensure.

Lewis B Ames LLC is one of 95 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Ormond Beach, 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.
