Gary Southard Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Gary Southard Construction LLC holds Florida licence CCC1330010, 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 2012, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 50% of the 139 active roofing licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 14 years of continuous licensure.

Gary Southard Construction LLC is one of 3 active roofing licences registered to an address in Bronson, 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.
