Kern Construction and Consulting, Inc.

What this record tells you

Kern Construction and Consulting, Inc. holds Florida licence CRC1329682, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 32% of the 1,879 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

Kern Construction and Consulting, Inc. is one of 67 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Brandon, 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.
