Bruce Whidden Construction 'LLC

What this record tells you

Bruce Whidden Construction 'LLC holds Florida licence CVC56829, a CVC classification which authorises work as a certified solar contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. That is 16 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active solar licence registered to an address in Parrish in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding Sarasota & Bradenton area when collecting comparison quotes. Bruce A Whidden additionally holds 3 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 08/31/2028. 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.
