What this record tells you

Home Technical Services Inc. holds Florida licence CRC058490, 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 2001, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 14% of the 952 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 25 years of continuous licensure.

Home Technical Services Inc. is one of 26 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Margate, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Michael Louis Retino 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. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
