What this record tells you

Emerald Home Builders holds Florida licence CBC1262772, 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 54% of the 1,879 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

Emerald Home Builders is one of 43 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Land O Lakes, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Padraic Buckley 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 08/31/2028. 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.
