West Coast Pros, LLC

What this record tells you

West Coast Pros, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1535994, 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.

West Coast Pros, LLC is one of 7 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Ellenton, 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.
