Ortiz Construction Inc

What this record tells you

Ortiz Construction Inc holds Florida licence RA13067270, a RA classification which authorises work as a certified/registered air conditioning or mechanical contractor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 18% of the 1,019 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Ortiz Construction Inc is one of 31 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Ruskin, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Ernesto Ortiz 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 08/31/2027. 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.
