Advantage Roofing & Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Advantage Roofing & Construction LLC holds Florida licence CVC56937, 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 2013, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 40% of the 30 active solar licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 13 years of continuous licensure.

Advantage Roofing & Construction LLC is one of 13 active solar licences registered to an address in Tampa, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Richard Martin IV Clewis 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.
