Brian Legate Contractor Inc

What this record tells you

Brian Legate Contractor Inc holds Florida licence CGC043450, 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 1988, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 8% of the 1,253 active general contracting licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 38 years of continuous licensure.

Brian Legate Contractor Inc is one of 329 active general contracting licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, 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.
