Douglas Building Contractors Inc

What this record tells you

Douglas Building Contractors Inc holds Florida licence CBC021019, a CBC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1981, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 1,513 active home building & remodeling licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 45 years of continuous licensure.

Douglas Building Contractors Inc is one of 389 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
