Barry Rutenberg and Associates, Inc.

What this record tells you

Barry Rutenberg and Associates, Inc. holds Florida licence CRC1330708, 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 2012, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 48% of the 505 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 14 years of continuous licensure.

Barry Rutenberg and Associates, Inc. is one of 274 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Ocala, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Dale E Kinsell 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.
