GARRETT MERLAU INC

What should I know before hiring?

Plain-language notes from the evidence on this page. Educational only — not advice to hire or avoid anyone.

• License

  CGC1507575 is Active in our DBPR extract. Always re-check the official board the day you hire.

• Scope

  Certified General Contractor. Scope still depends on the specific project and local permitting. Specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, etc.) often require a separately licensed specialty contractor or a properly qualified subcontractor.

• Expiration

  Extract lists Aug 31, 2026. Confirm renewal status on DBPR.

• Entity

  Sunbiz Inactive · GARRETT MERLAU INC.. Match the legal name on your contract to this filing.

• Discipline

  None linked in our current extracts. That is a factual statement about our files — not a certificate of a clean record outside these sources or after our last load.

• Workers’ comp

  We do not store coverage status. Use the official Florida Proof of Coverage tools linked on this report before relying on a contractor’s claim.

• Next steps

  Confirm license on Florida DBPR, confirm the business on Sunbiz if relevant, use a written contract, and check local permits.
