Douglas J Kuchle Building Contractor, LLC

What this record tells you

Douglas J Kuchle Building Contractor, LLC holds Florida licence RB0035044, a RB classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 1979, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 1,513 active home building & remodeling licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 47 years of continuous licensure.

Douglas J Kuchle Building Contractor, LLC is one of 225 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Clearwater, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Douglas J Kuchle 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 08/31/2027. 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.
