Smith & Son Building Contractors, LLC

What this record tells you

Smith & Son Building Contractors, LLC holds Florida licence RB29003676, 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 2017, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 59% 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 9 years of continuous licensure.

Smith & Son Building Contractors, LLC is one of 184 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Saint Augustine, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. David James Smith additionally holds 3 other active Florida licences 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.
