Blue Reef LLC

What this record tells you

Blue Reef LLC holds Florida licence CBC1257338, 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 2009, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 43% of the 505 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 17 years of continuous licensure.

Blue Reef LLC is one of 274 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Ocala, 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.
