Island Life Building Company

What this record tells you

Island Life Building Company holds Florida licence CGC041809, 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 1987, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 5% 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 39 years of continuous licensure.

Island Life Building Company is one of 9 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Placida, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. David John Witters 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.
