Southern Electric and Construction Inc

What this record tells you

Southern Electric and Construction Inc holds Florida licence CRC1327682, a CRC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 22% of the 458 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Electric and Construction Inc is one of 23 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Lake Wales, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
