Hughes Family Builders Inc

What this record tells you

Hughes Family Builders Inc holds Florida licence CGC1536166, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 81% of the 1,253 active general contracting licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Hughes Family Builders Inc is one of 329 active general contracting licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, 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.
