Garrard Building Contractors, LLC

What this record tells you

Garrard Building Contractors, LLC holds Florida licence CBC1253402, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 22% 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 21 years of continuous licensure.

Garrard Building Contractors, LLC is one of 50 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Auburndale, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Louis F Garrard 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 08/31/2026. 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.
