PBS Contractors is the only Florida Certified Master Builder in Naples, Florida, a distinction that reflects an exceptional level of craftsmanship, accountability, and long-term commitment to client satisfaction.
The Florida Certified Master Builder (FCMB) designation is one of the most rigorous professional credentials in the construction industry. It is reserved for elite home builders, remodelers, and commercial contractors who voluntarily meet standards that exceed Florida’s state licensing requirements. The certification was created to help consumers identify builders they can trust with confidence.
What Is a Florida Certified Master Builder?
Florida Certified Master Builders represent the highest tier of professionalism in the building industry. Certification is based on verified experience, ethical business practices, financial responsibility, and a proven record of customer satisfaction.
Unlike standard contractor licensing, the FCMB designation requires builders to demonstrate ongoing excellence in construction quality, business stability, and continuing education. This ensures certified builders remain current with building science, evolving design trends, and best practices across residential and commercial construction.
What It Takes to Earn the Certification
Becoming a Florida Certified Master Builder involves a thorough vetting process and strict eligibility requirements.
Builders must demonstrate:
- A minimum of seven years of experience in the construction industry
- Written contracts on all construction and remodeling projects, including standardized dispute resolution and disclaimer language
- A minimum one year written home warranty on all new construction projects
- Verified client satisfaction ratings of four or higher on a five-point scale
- Positive reference checks from subcontractors and suppliers
- Membership in a professional building industry association for at least three years
- Execution of a Florida Certified Master Builder Agreement confirming ongoing compliance
- Final vetting and approval by the Florida Master Builder Certification Board
- Ongoing continuing education to stay current on advances in building science and design trends
This extensive process ensures that Florida Certified Master Builders meet consistent standards of integrity, reliability, and technical expertise.
