Thorpe Enterprises

What this record tells you

Thorpe Enterprises holds Florida licence RR0047933, a RR 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 1985, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 3% 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 41 years of continuous licensure.

Thorpe Enterprises 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 08/31/2027. 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.

• Compare at least three written quotes from other home building & remodeling contractors in Tampa.
