Build LLC

What this record tells you

Build LLC holds Florida licence CGC1518207, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 40% of the 1,000 active general contracting licences based in the Naples area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 16 years of continuous licensure.

Build LLC is one of 937 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Naples, 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.

Before you hire Build LLC

• Re-check licence CGC1518207 on the DBPR portal — status can change any day.
• Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation, issued to you directly by their insurer.
• Confirm the name on your contract matches Build LLC or its qualifying agent, Jay Howard.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other general contracting contractors in Naples.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
