First Option Realty, Engineering, & Construction, LLC

What this record tells you

First Option Realty, Engineering, & Construction, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1526078, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 63% of the 2,706 active general contracting licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

First Option Realty, Engineering, & Construction, LLC is one of 41 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Riviera Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Gregory Jonathan Arias 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.
