Rooks Contracting, Inc

What this record tells you

Rooks Contracting, Inc holds Florida licence CRC057016, 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 1995, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 8% of the 1,879 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 31 years of continuous licensure.

Rooks Contracting, Inc is one of 880 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Tampa, 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.
