Florida Gulf Coast Builders, Inc.

What this record tells you

Florida Gulf Coast Builders, Inc. holds Florida licence CBC058543, a CBC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1998, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 10% 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 28 years of continuous licensure.

Florida Gulf Coast Builders, Inc. is one of 79 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Odessa, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Anthony David Smith 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 08/31/2026. 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.
