Gulf Coast Painting

What this record tells you

Gulf Coast Painting holds Florida licence CCC1328296, a CCC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered roofing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2007, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 21% of the 600 active roofing licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 19 years of continuous licensure.

Gulf Coast Painting is one of 27 active roofing licences registered to an address in Odessa, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Eric G Wade 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.
