Scales Building Corporation

What this record tells you

Scales Building Corporation holds Florida licence RR0051841, 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 1986, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 965 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 40 years of continuous licensure.

Scales Building Corporation is one of 203 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Vero Beach, 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.
