In Florida, general contractors are regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB). Before hiring, verify that any contractor you consider holds a valid state license. You can search for a contractor's license online through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) by name, license number, city, or county. When you contact a contractor like Gwaltney Construction, ask for the license number and confirm it matches what the DBPR database shows.

Contractors in Florida are classified as either certified or registered. A certified contractor (license code beginning with C) may work in any jurisdiction in the state. A registered contractor (license code beginning with R) may only work in the jurisdictions for which they are registered. Understanding this distinction helps you know whether your chosen contractor can work in your specific area without additional local requirements.

Before signing a contract, ask your contractor about permit and building-code responsibilities. The Florida Building Code sets standards for construction work, and permits are typically required for most home projects. Your contractor should clarify who obtains permits, what inspections are needed, and how the project will be managed to meet code.
