Cardinal Construction & Aluminum Inc

What this record tells you

Cardinal Construction & Aluminum Inc holds Florida licence CGC062266, 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 2001, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 28% of the 316 active general contracting licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2007. That is 25 years of continuous licensure.

Cardinal Construction & Aluminum Inc is one of 8 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Silver Springs, 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.
