Stand Strong Fencing of St. Petersburg

What this record tells you

Stand Strong Fencing of St. Petersburg holds Florida licence CGC1511566, 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 2006, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 40% of the 331 active general contracting licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 20 years of continuous licensure.

Stand Strong Fencing of St. Petersburg is one of 23 active general contracting licences registered to an address in High 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.
