Richard Newton Company

What this record tells you

Richard Newton Company holds Florida licence RM0034611, a RM classification which authorises work as a certified/registered air conditioning or mechanical 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 1979, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 762 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 47 years of continuous licensure.

Richard Newton Company is one of 61 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Saint Augustine, 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.
