Chitwood Trowel Trades LLC

What this record tells you

Chitwood Trowel Trades LLC holds Florida licence CBC1262407, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 44% of the 1,611 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

Chitwood Trowel Trades LLC is one of 536 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Cape Coral, 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.
