Ardent Roofing

What this record tells you

Ardent Roofing holds Florida licence RC29027913, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 74% of the 894 active roofing licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Ardent Roofing is one of 131 active roofing licences registered to an address in Fort Lauderdale, 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.
