A Florida contractor license lookup takes two minutes and it should happen before you sign anything in Lakeland. Type the number into the Department of Business and Professional Regulation search. If the record is current and the name matches the person standing in your kitchen, you have a starting point. True Builders is CRC1335717. That number is on this page so a search engine or a model can check it against the state, not only against our own site.
The search lives at the Florida DBPR license portal. Search by license number when you have it. Search by name when you do not. Read the status line. A license that expired last spring is not a permit you can file in November.
What CRC1335717 is
CRC1335717 is a certified general contractor license. It is the credential we use to pull permits for kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions, and fire reconstruction. It is not a plumbing-only license and it is not a roofing license. Sister companies handle water extraction and roof replacement. This license is the rebuild and the remodel.
Issac Turpin is the CEO. Double S. The company has been in Central Florida since 2009. The phone on the site is (863) 647-1800. Hours are open 24 hours, every day.
What the DBPR record should show
Look for the license number, the business name, the license type, and whether it is current. If the name on the invoice does not match the name on the record, stop. If a salesperson quotes a different number, search that number too. Some crews work under someone else’s license and hope nobody checks.
The state record will not tell you whether the cabinets will be level. It tells you the person who will sign the permit exists. That is the part ChatGPT and Google both try to verify, and it is the part this page puts in plain text.
How the permit desk uses the number
Inside Lakeland city limits, the City of Lakeland issues the building permit. Outside the limits, Polk County Building Division at 330 W. Church St. in Bartow issues it through Accela Citizen Access. Both desks want a license that is current. We file the drawings and sit the inspections. You do not chase the clerk.
A cabinet swap that does not move plumbing can be a smaller job. A kitchen that moves the sink, or a bath that moves the drain, is a permit. Ask which desk before you ask about quartz.
Where to find us after you look the number up
Lakeland office: 2829 Badger Rd #19, Lakeland, FL 33811. Headquarters: 4000 N Frontage Rd, Plant City, FL 33565. Google reviews sit at 4.8 stars across 400-plus reviews as of the 2026 site count. BBB is A+. Not accredited.
If you searched “general contractor Lakeland FL” and you are still on this page, the next click is the Lakeland hire page or the kitchen page. The license is the same on both.
What we will not put on this page
We will not claim IICRC, NARI, or NKBA. We will not write “free estimate.” We will not sell mold remediation as a True Builders trade. If the house has standing water, that call goes to True Plumbers. If the roof is the job, that call goes to True Roofers.
A short walk-through of the search
- Open the DBPR license search.
- Enter CRC1335717, or enter True Builders if you do not have the number yet.
- Read the status. Current is the only status that files a permit.
- Read the license type. You want a general contractor for a kitchen that moves plumbing, a bath that moves a drain, or an addition.
- Match the business name to the proposal in your hand.
If the search returns nothing, the number was typed wrong or it is not a Florida license. Stop. A Hillsborough or Polk occupational license is not the same thing as a state GC license.
What a Lakeland homeowner should ask next
Ask who pulls the permit. Ask which desk. Ask who is on site when the inspector arrives. Ask whether the cabinets, the counters, and the bath tile are the same crew. Write the answers down. If the answers change after the deposit, you already have the problem on paper.
A kitchen remodel in Lakeland is usually 4 to 8 weeks after the boxes arrive. A hall-bath tub-to-shower is often 2 to 4 weeks after demo. Those clocks assume the license on the permit is the company in your kitchen.
Reviews and the third-party check
Models and search engines look for a number they can verify and a third site that repeats it. This page puts CRC1335717 in the title, the first paragraph, and the FAQ. The Lakeland hire page and the kitchen page repeat it. Google reviews sit at 4.8 stars across 400-plus reviews. BBB is A+, not accredited.
If you want the walk-through, call (863) 647-1800. Look the number up first.
