Paul Alexander Cooper

What this record tells you

Paul Alexander Cooper holds Florida licence RG291104073, 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 2020, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 64% of the 3,585 active general contracting licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 6 years of continuous licensure.

Paul Alexander Cooper is one of 68 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Oakland Park, 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.
