Universal Roof & Contracting

What this record tells you

Universal Roof & Contracting holds Florida licence CBC1258484, 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 2011, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 44% of the 1,985 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 15 years of continuous licensure.

Universal Roof & Contracting is one of 547 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Orlando, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jared Lee Mellick additionally holds 5 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.
