1st Class Welding and Construction LLC

What this record tells you

1st Class Welding and Construction LLC holds Florida licence CGC1528901, 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 2020, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 69% of the 383 active general contracting licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 6 years of continuous licensure.

1st Class Welding and Construction LLC is one of 4 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Frostproof, 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.
