Tommy Waters Custom Homes Inc

What this record tells you

Tommy Waters Custom Homes Inc holds Florida licence RG291103605, a RG classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general 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 33% of the 331 active general contracting licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Tommy Waters Custom Homes Inc is one of 32 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Newberry, 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.
