Steve Whitehurst Construction, Inc.

What this record tells you

Steve Whitehurst Construction, Inc. holds Florida licence RB0039229, 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 1987, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 4% 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 39 years of continuous licensure.

Steve Whitehurst Construction, Inc. is one of 209 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Lakeland, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Ronald Steven Whitehurst 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.
