J.E. Skelly Enterprises LLC

What this record tells you

J.E. Skelly Enterprises LLC holds Florida licence CGC1518953, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 42% 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 16 years of continuous licensure.

J.E. Skelly Enterprises LLC is one of 31 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Lakewood Ranch, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
