Chesapeake Custom Builders LLC

What this record tells you

Chesapeake Custom Builders LLC holds Florida licence CGC1515311, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 46% of the 1,400 active general contracting licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

Chesapeake Custom Builders LLC is one of 64 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Ponte Vedra Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
