Katerra Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Katerra Construction LLC holds Florida licence CGC1526785, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 64% of the 383 active general contracting licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

Katerra Construction LLC is one of 29 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Lake Wales, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Joseph Lyman III Burgess additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
