Qualified Builders Inc

What this record tells you

Qualified Builders Inc holds Florida licence CBC1266881, 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 2023, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 78% of the 965 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 3 years of continuous licensure.

Qualified Builders Inc is one of 54 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Okeechobee, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Michelle Lynn Bishop additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
