Custom Builders

What this record tells you

Custom Builders holds Florida licence CGC031832, 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 1984, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 5% 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 42 years of continuous licensure.

Custom Builders is one of 14 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Neptune Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Daryl C Grubbs 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 08/31/2028. 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.

Before you hire Custom Builders

• Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation, issued to you directly by their insurer.
• Confirm the name on your contract matches Custom Builders or its qualifying agent, Daryl C Grubbs.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other general contracting contractors in Jacksonville.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
