Bowen Constr Co

What this record tells you

Bowen Constr Co holds Florida licence CGC013106, 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 1978, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 309 active general contracting licences based in the Port Charlotte & Punta Gorda area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 48 years of continuous licensure.

Bowen Constr Co is one of 4 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Boca Grande, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Braxton L Bowen additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence 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.
