Tidewater Restoration LLC

What this record tells you

Tidewater Restoration LLC holds Florida licence CGC1538975, 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 2025, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 92% 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 1 year of continuous licensure.

Tidewater Restoration LLC is one of 15 active general contracting licences registered to an address in West Melbourne, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Kevin Kittel additionally holds 3 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.
