General contractors in Florida must hold a valid CGC (Certified General Contractor) or CRC (Certified Residential Contractor) license issued by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) under Florida Statutes Chapter 489. A CGC license authorizes work on any structure — commercial, residential, or industrial — without limitation. CRC licensees are limited to residential projects of 3 stories or fewer.

General contractors in Redington Shores coordinate all phases of construction including permitting, scheduling subcontractors, materials procurement, and code compliance inspections.

The Associated General Contractors of Florida (AGC) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) set professional standards for the industry. Florida law requires general contractors to carry liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and maintain a surety bond or cash deposit.
