Knight Industrial Equipment, Inc

What this record tells you

Knight Industrial Equipment, Inc holds Florida licence CGC1504497, 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 2002, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 22% of the 383 active general contracting licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 24 years of continuous licensure.

Knight Industrial Equipment, Inc is one of 190 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Lakeland, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
