Gerlach Construction Inc

What this record tells you

Gerlach Construction Inc holds Florida licence CGC1515332, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 43% of the 272 active general contracting licences based in the Spring Hill & Nature Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2010. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

Gerlach Construction Inc is one of 21 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Inverness, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. James Edward Gerlach additionally holds 3 other active Florida licences 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.
