Platinum Builders of Palatka Inc

What this record tells you

Platinum Builders of Palatka Inc holds Florida licence CGC1509154, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 36% of the 626 active general contracting licences based in the Daytona Beach & Volusia area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Platinum Builders of Palatka Inc is one of 4 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Daytona Beach Shores, 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.
