Drake Construction Services Inc

What this record tells you

Drake Construction Services Inc holds Florida licence CBC053671, a CBC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1991, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 505 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 35 years of continuous licensure.

Drake Construction Services Inc is one of 274 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Ocala, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
