John Puder, LLC

What this record tells you

John Puder, LLC holds Florida licence CGC017066, 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 1980, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 2,352 active general contracting licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 46 years of continuous licensure.

John Puder, LLC is one of 792 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Orlando, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
