Elegant Homes & Designs, Inc.

What this record tells you

Elegant Homes & Designs, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC009090, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 32% of the 564 active general contracting licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Elegant Homes & Designs, Inc. is one of 146 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Melbourne, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Howard William Fink 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.
