Lima Contractors Inc.

What this record tells you

Lima Contractors Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1539370, 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 2025, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 83% of the 1,616 active general contracting licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Lima Contractors Inc. is one of 41 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Alva, 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.
