Richards Development Group Inc

What this record tells you

Richards Development Group Inc holds Florida licence CBC1251171, 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 2003, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 25% of the 704 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Daytona Beach & Volusia area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2010. That is 23 years of continuous licensure.

Richards Development Group Inc is one of 94 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Deland, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Douglas Edward Richards additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
