Semco Restoration Inc

What this record tells you

Semco Restoration Inc holds Florida licence CGCA40492, 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 1998, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 16% of the 383 active general contracting licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 28 years of continuous licensure.

Semco Restoration Inc is one of 20 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Bartow, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Carl Edward Jr Locke additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
