James F Howard Construction Inc

What this record tells you

James F Howard Construction Inc holds Florida licence RC29027807, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 50% 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 5 years of continuous licensure.

James F Howard Construction Inc is one of 100 active roofing licences registered to an address in Pensacola, 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.
