Nicholas & Associates, Inc.

What this record tells you

Nicholas & Associates, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1538843, 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 88% of the 1,770 active general contracting licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Nicholas & Associates, Inc. is one of 946 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Tampa, 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.
