Bayard Construction Company

What this record tells you

Bayard Construction Company holds Florida licence CBC060286, 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 2001, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 14% of the 1,879 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 25 years of continuous licensure.

Bayard Construction Company is one of 880 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Tampa, 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.
