G L Karel Construction Inc

What this record tells you

G L Karel Construction Inc holds Florida licence CCC057826, a CCC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered roofing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1999, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 9% of the 281 active roofing licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 27 years of continuous licensure.

G L Karel Construction Inc is one of 5 active roofing licences registered to an address in West Melbourne, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Gary L Jr Karel 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.
