Santopadre & Son Landscaping, Inc.

What this record tells you

Santopadre & Son Landscaping, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC048833, 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 1989, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 10% of the 626 active general contracting licences based in the Daytona Beach & Volusia area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 37 years of continuous licensure.

Santopadre & Son Landscaping, Inc. is one of 21 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Bunnell, 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.
