What this record tells you

Willis A. Smith Construction, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1535990, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 80% of the 1,190 active general contracting licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Willis A. Smith Construction, Inc. is one of 511 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Sarasota, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Frank John Lacivita 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 08/31/2028. 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.
