Claxton Contracting Inc

What this record tells you

Claxton Contracting Inc holds Florida licence CRC1327581, 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 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 25% 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 22 years of continuous licensure.

Claxton Contracting Inc is one of 72 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Fernandina Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Edward Theron Claxton 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.
