O'Connell Construction Services, Inc.

What this record tells you

O'Connell Construction Services, Inc. holds Florida licence CBC055264, 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 1992, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 11% of the 965 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 34 years of continuous licensure.

O'Connell Construction Services, Inc. is one of 54 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Okeechobee, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
