E.T. Mackenzie of Florida, Inc.

What this record tells you

E.T. Mackenzie of Florida, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1517699, 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 2009, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 41% of the 1,190 active general contracting licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 17 years of continuous licensure.

E.T. Mackenzie of Florida, Inc. is one of 259 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Bradenton, 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.
