Sds Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Sds Construction LLC holds Florida licence CGC1513999, 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 2007, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 42% of the 1,400 active general contracting licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 19 years of continuous licensure.

Sds Construction LLC is one of 22 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Yulee, 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.
