Galin Homes of Tampa Bay Inc.

What this record tells you

Galin Homes of Tampa Bay Inc. holds Florida licence CRC1330305, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 37% 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 16 years of continuous licensure.

Galin Homes of Tampa Bay Inc. is one of 880 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Tampa, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Laurence C Galin 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 08/31/2028. 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.
