Signature Builders of Florida LLC

What this record tells you

Signature Builders of Florida LLC holds Florida licence CGC037398, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1986, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 1,190 active general contracting licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 40 years of continuous licensure.

Signature Builders of Florida LLC is one of 53 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Palmetto, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Michael Lee Benedetto 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 08/31/2028. 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.
