Why Licensing Matters
When you invite a contractor into your home, you want more than promises. You want proof. Always Fire & Gas is proud to hold a Florida Residential Contractor License #CRC1333200, one of the highest levels of accountability in the construction industry. (Verify on the Florida DBPR license lookup.)
Being a licensed contractor means:
- Our work is held to Florida state building codes
- We carry proper insurance and bonding for your protection
- We are accountable to state licensing boards
- We have proven experience in structural work, remodeling, and residential projects
For homeowners, this translates to peace of mind. You are not hiring a handyman who might disappear when something goes wrong. You are partnering with a contractor backed by decades of family legacy and formal state recognition.
What Does Our Contractor License Lets Us Do
Chimney-only companies stop where the structure starts. Because Always Fire & Gas holds Florida Residential Contractor License #CRC1333200, the same team that sweeps and inspects your chimney can also handle the construction work around it:
- Wood frame chimney rebuilds
- Masonry chimney rebuilds and repair
- New chimney construction
- Chimney removal and demolition
- Dryer vent roof termination replacement
- Fireplace design and remodel consultation
