WILLIS A. SMITH CONSTRUCTION OF SARASOTA, 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 status

  CGC1535773 is Active in our DBPR extract. Always re-check the official board the day you hire.

• What this class typically covers

  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 on file

  Extract lists Aug 31, 2028. Confirm renewal status on DBPR.

• Business name on contract

  Sunbiz Active · WILLIS A. SMITH CONSTRUCTION OF SARASOTA, INC.. The name on your written contract should match this filing.

• Discipline

  None linked in our current extracts. That is a fact about our files — not a certificate of a clean record after our last load.

• Insurance you should still ask for

  We do not store workers’ comp or general liability status. Ask for current certificates and use official Florida Proof of Coverage tools before relying on a verbal claim.

• Before you sign

  1) Confirm the license on Florida DBPR. 2) Match the legal name on the contract to Sunbiz if a filing is linked. 3) Get a written scope and payment schedule. 4) Check local permits.
