Old Southern Builders

What this record tells you

Old Southern Builders holds Florida licence CGC038665, 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 1986, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 4% 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 40 years of continuous licensure.

Old Southern Builders is one of 792 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Orlando, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Eric Todd Hudson 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 08/31/2026. 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.
