Florida Keys Excavating, LLC

What this record tells you

Florida Keys Excavating, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1527438, 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 2019, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 68% of the 230 active general contracting licences based in the Key West & The Keys area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 7 years of continuous licensure.

Florida Keys Excavating, LLC is one of 18 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Big Pine Key, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Christopher Ryan Thommes 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.
