Chesapeake Construction of Florida Incorporated

What this record tells you

Chesapeake Construction of Florida Incorporated holds Florida licence CBC1251267, 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 20% of the 574 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 23 years of continuous licensure.

Chesapeake Construction of Florida Incorporated is one of 132 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Melbourne, 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.
