Caroline Construction, LLC

What this record tells you

Caroline Construction, LLC holds Florida licence CBC1260981, 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 2016, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 42% of the 645 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 10 years of continuous licensure.

Caroline Construction, LLC is one of 255 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Pensacola, 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.
