Doug Foster Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Doug Foster Construction LLC holds Florida licence CGC056956, 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 1993, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 9% of the 1,616 active general contracting licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 33 years of continuous licensure.

Doug Foster Construction LLC is one of 146 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Bonita Springs, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. James Douglas Foster 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.
