Aedifex Construction Corporation

What this record tells you

Aedifex Construction Corporation holds Florida licence CCC1332959, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 51% of the 397 active roofing licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 5 years of continuous licensure.

Aedifex Construction Corporation is one of 7 active roofing licences registered to an address in Oldsmar, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Melvin Lafayette Jr Payne additionally holds 5 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 08/31/2026. 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.
