West End Homes LLC

What this record tells you

West End Homes LLC holds Florida licence CGC1534543, 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 2023, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 72% of the 309 active general contracting licences based in the Port Charlotte & Punta Gorda area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 3 years of continuous licensure.

West End Homes LLC is one of 137 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Punta Gorda, 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.
