Jacob P Smith Building Co Inc

What this record tells you

Jacob P Smith Building Co Inc holds Florida licence CGC058033, 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 1995, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 11% of the 2,352 active general contracting licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 31 years of continuous licensure.

Jacob P Smith Building Co Inc is one of 41 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Mount Dora, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Daniel Francis Di Venanzo 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.
