Our Florida State Certified License Portfolio

In Florida, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) classifies licenses into 'Registered' (limited to single local counties) and 'Certified' (the highest tier, earned through statewide structural examinations, financial vetting, and verified field experience, granting unlimited jurisdiction across all 67 Florida counties):

Primary General Contracting License

Certified General Contractor: CGC1517295

Qualifies Planet Construction to build, remodel, and structurally repair multi-story commercial buildings, high-rises, condominium complexes, and luxury residential structures without height or square footage limitations.

Primary Roofing Division License

Certified Roofing Contractor: CCC1329271

Authorizes turn-key commercial flat roofing (TPO, PVC, SBS), standing seam architectural metal, structural concrete deck roofing, and tile assemblies in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Verify Any Florida Contractor on DBPR

Never take a contractor's word for their licensing status. You can verify Planet Construction—or any Florida builder—in under 60 seconds on the official state portal:

  1. Navigate to the official Florida DBPR portal: MyFloridaLicense.com.
  2. Click "Verify a License".
  3. Select "Search by License Number" and enter CGC1517295 or CCC1329271.
  4. Confirm the status displays "Current, Active" with zero complaints, disciplinary actions, or administrative sanctions, and that the primary qualifier listed is Genti Kraja.

Insurance Coverage: $2M Liability & Workers' Compensation

Having a state license is only half the equation—adequate insurance protects the property owner from catastrophic liability:

  • $2,000,000 Commercial General Liability: Covers property damage, structural hazards, and completed operations. If an unforeseen storm hits during open-roof work, our carrier protects your structure.
  • Full Statutory Workers' Compensation: In Florida, unlicensed contractors frequently abuse 'Workers' Comp Exemptions' by misclassifying roofers as independent sub-subcontractors. If an uninsured roofer falls off your roof, the injured worker can sue the property owner directly. Planet Construction maintains comprehensive statutory workers' compensation coverage covering all active crews on your jobsite.
