Balla Construction, LLC

What this record tells you

Balla Construction, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1537890, 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 2025, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 87% of the 1,253 active general contracting licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Balla Construction, LLC is one of 224 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Clearwater, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Besim Sherif Balla 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.
