Carlsen Contracting Company Inc

What this record tells you

Carlsen Contracting Company Inc holds Florida licence CBC059893, 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 2001, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 13% of the 1,533 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 25 years of continuous licensure.

Carlsen Contracting Company Inc is one of 10 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Ellenton, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
