First Florida Development Inc

What this record tells you

First Florida Development Inc holds Florida licence CGC020468, 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 1981, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 3% of the 1,090 active general contracting licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 45 years of continuous licensure.

First Florida Development Inc is one of 165 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Stuart, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Paul L Kleinfeld additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
