Deslandes Construction Inc.

What this record tells you

Deslandes Construction Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1509063, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 26% 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 21 years of continuous licensure.

Deslandes Construction Inc. is one of 10 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Gulfport, 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.
