Cogdill Builders of Florida, Inc.

What this record tells you

Cogdill Builders of Florida, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC000252, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2000, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 20% of the 1,400 active general contracting licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 26 years of continuous licensure.

Cogdill Builders of Florida, Inc. is one of 40 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Green Cove Springs, 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.
