Southern Homes of Polk Co Inc

What this record tells you

Southern Homes of Polk Co Inc holds Florida licence CBC057451, 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 1995, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 8% of the 458 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 31 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Homes of Polk Co Inc is one of 209 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Lakeland, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Gregory A Masters additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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.
