Robert Ripple Inc

What this record tells you

Robert Ripple Inc holds Florida licence RB0055128, a RB classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential 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 1987, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 4% 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 39 years of continuous licensure.

Robert Ripple Inc is one of 39 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Dunnellon, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
