Where in Bradenton these licences are registered

Licences are spread across 21 ZIP codes, with the largest concentrations in 34209 (179), 34208 (161), 34211 (142), 34203 (136), 34212 (120), 34205 (111). This is the address on the licence record — an office or, often, a home — and not a service-area map. A certified contractor can legally work anywhere in Florida.

How long Bradenton contractors have been licensed

496 of the 1,044 active licences registered in Bradenton have been held for a decade or more, while 325 were first issued in the last three years. The median licence here dates from 2018. The longest-held active licence in the city belongs to Steve Solomon, Inc., licensed since 1976.

987 of Bradenton's 1,044 active licences are certified — a "C" prefix, valid anywhere in Florida. 51 are mold licences (MRSR remediators and MRSA assessors), which the state issues under a separate board. 6 are registered — an "R" prefix, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration.

Hiring a contractor in Bradenton — FAQ

How many licensed contractors are there in Bradenton?

1,044 companies and licence holders have a current, active Florida state licence registered to an address in Bradenton — 22% of every active licence in the Sarasota & Bradenton area. That figure comes from the official DBPR public records refreshed on 11 Aug 2026, and counts licences, not employees.

Does a Bradenton address mean the contractor only works in Bradenton?

No. DBPR records the address the licence holder registered, which is often an office or a home, not a service area. A certified ("C" prefix) licence is valid anywhere in Florida, so many contractors listed here work across the whole Sarasota & Bradenton area — and contractors based in neighbouring cities work in Bradenton. Ask about travel and call-out charges.

What is the difference between the licence types I see on this page?

A "C" prefix means certified: the licence is issued by the state and valid anywhere in Florida. An "R" prefix means registered, which limits the holder to the local jurisdictions that accepted the registration. Mold licences (MRSR for remediators, MRSA for assessors) are issued separately again. Bradenton has 987 certified, 6 registered and 51 mold licences.

Is a longer-held licence better?

It is a signal, not a guarantee. 496 of Bradenton's 1,044 active licences have been held for ten years or more, and 325 were first issued within the last three. A long licence shows the holder has kept up renewals and stayed in business; it says nothing about the quality of any particular job. Always collect written quotes and proof of insurance.
