Florida Building Services

What this record tells you

Florida Building Services holds Florida licence CGC1521961, 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 2013, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 59% 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 13 years of continuous licensure.

Florida Building Services is one of 26 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Edgewater, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Chester Darby additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
