K & B Drywall and Painting Services LLC

What this record tells you

K & B Drywall and Painting Services LLC holds Florida licence CGC1518842, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 55% 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 16 years of continuous licensure.

K & B Drywall and Painting Services LLC is one of 57 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Merritt Island, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Brian L Hettinger 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.
