The Awning Factory

What this record tells you

The Awning Factory holds Florida licence CGC1521038, 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 2012, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 47% of the 2,352 active general contracting licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 14 years of continuous licensure.

The Awning Factory is one of 92 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Oviedo, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Christopher Jason Wherrell additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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