Blackburn Roofing & Sheet Metal Inc

What this record tells you

Blackburn Roofing & Sheet Metal Inc holds Florida licence RC29027097, a RC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered roofing 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 2003, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 10% of the 192 active roofing licences based in the Naples area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 23 years of continuous licensure.

Blackburn Roofing & Sheet Metal Inc is one of 177 active roofing licences registered to an address in Naples, 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.
