W. Douglas Harris Construction Inc

What this record tells you

W. Douglas Harris Construction Inc holds Florida licence CGC10809, 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 1976, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 403 active general contracting licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2009. That is 50 years of continuous licensure.

W. Douglas Harris Construction Inc is one of 24 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Crestview, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
