Fortner'S Home Improvements Inc

What this record tells you

Fortner'S Home Improvements Inc holds Florida licence RC29027151, 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 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 12% of the 227 active roofing licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2021. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Fortner'S Home Improvements Inc is one of 7 active roofing licences registered to an address in Jay, 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.
