Sheltra & Sons Contracting LLC

What this record tells you

Sheltra & Sons Contracting LLC holds Florida licence CGC1509373, 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 36% of the 1,090 active general contracting licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Sheltra & Sons Contracting LLC is one of 48 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Okeechobee, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Richard James Forlifer 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.
