Where in Lakeland these licences are registered

Licences are spread across 13 ZIP codes, with the largest concentrations in 33813 (152), 33811 (122), 33810 (108), 33803 (101), 33801 (76), 33809 (76). This is the address on the licence record — an office or, often, a home — and not a service-area map. A certified contractor can legally work anywhere in Florida.

How long Lakeland contractors have been licensed

397 of the 764 active licences registered in Lakeland have been held for a decade or more, while 201 were first issued in the last three years. The median licence here dates from 2016. The longest-held active licence in the city belongs to Southeast Construction Consulting, LLC, licensed since 1973.

722 of Lakeland's 764 active licences are certified — a "C" prefix, valid anywhere in Florida. 24 are mold licences (MRSR remediators and MRSA assessors), which the state issues under a separate board. 18 are registered — an "R" prefix, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration.

Hiring a contractor in Lakeland — FAQ

How many licensed contractors are there in Lakeland?

764 companies and licence holders have a current, active Florida state licence registered to an address in Lakeland — 46% of every active licence in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area. That figure comes from the official DBPR public records refreshed on 11 Aug 2026, and counts licences, not employees.

Does a Lakeland address mean the contractor only works in Lakeland?

No. DBPR records the address the licence holder registered, which is often an office or a home, not a service area. A certified ("C" prefix) licence is valid anywhere in Florida, so many contractors listed here work across the whole Lakeland & Winter Haven area — and contractors based in neighbouring cities work in Lakeland. Ask about travel and call-out charges.

What is the difference between the licence types I see on this page?

A "C" prefix means certified: the licence is issued by the state and valid anywhere in Florida. An "R" prefix means registered, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration. Mold licences (MRSR for remediators, MRSA for assessors) are issued separately again. Lakeland has 722 certified, 18 registered and 24 mold licences.

Is a longer-held licence better?

It is a signal, not a guarantee. 397 of Lakeland's 764 active licences have been held for ten years or more, and 201 were first issued within the last three. A long licence shows the holder has kept up renewals and stayed in business; it says nothing about the quality of any particular job. Always collect written quotes and proof of insurance.
