The Ranking

Our top 5 general contractors in Orlando

Building and renovating in Orlando starts with the house. The city mixes 1920s bungalows in Colonial Town and Delaney Park, block ranches from the 1960s and 1970s, and newer subdivisions around Lake Nona and Dr. Phillips. Older homes hide old wiring and plumbing behind plaster and block, and every roof, window and wall in Central Florida has to meet wind-load rules written for hurricanes. Many owners also deal with insurance after a storm, a leak or a fire, which is why several contractors below handle rebuilds as well as planned remodels. Two checks protect you. First, Florida licenses contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). A certified general contractor (CGC) or building contractor (CBC) can take on additions and larger structural work, while a certified residential contractor (CRC) is limited to one and two family homes. Ask every company for its licence number and look it up at myfloridalicense.com before you sign. Second, most additions, structural changes and re-wiring need a permit. Inside Orlando city limits that means City of Orlando permitting, and in unincorporated areas it means Orange County. Ask who pulls the permit, who pays the fee and whether it is in your quote. Florida also expects a local business tax receipt, so ask for that too. The five companies below range from a 24-hour rebuild firm to a kitchen and bath specialist with its own plumbing licence. Prime Construction and Magnet Remodeling also appear in our home remodeling ranking for Orlando because they hold general or building contractor licences and list additions. Each profile says what the company publishes about licensing and warranty and what you should still ask. Three of the five do not print a licence number or a street address as clearly as the others, so do not skip the question.

Methodology

How we chose the best general contractors in Orlando

We searched Google Maps for general contractor, design build contractor and residential general contractor companies in Orlando, then added home addition, remodeling and neighborhood searches because few firms qualified. To be listed, a company needed a rating of 4.5 or higher from at least 50 Google reviews, an operational status, a working website, a logo, at least four real photos and a street address in Orlando. We rejected mailbox and virtual addresses, home addresses, roofing and restoration companies, commercial-only builders, new-home production builders, placeholder websites, lead-generation sites and companies whose main trade is not general contracting. Standard Construction Services and Harmony Construction came close but fell just under 50 reviews. Companies are listed in the order Google returned them across those searches; Magnet Remodeling came from the remodeling searches. Ratings and review counts were read on October 31, 2026. No company paid for a place on this list, and we did not verify licence numbers ourselves, so check them with the state.

Hiring

How to choose a general contractor in Orlando

  1. Verify insurance and credentials

    Ask for a current certificate of insurance and confirm registration or licensing with the authority that issues it, not with the company.

  2. Ask for a written estimate

    Scope, materials, removal, disposal and who pulls the permit should all be named on the page rather than agreed on the doorstep.

  3. Compare multiple quotes

    Two or three bids on the same scope. A number far below the others usually means something has been left out of it.

  4. Understand the warranty

    Separate the manufacturer's warranty on materials from the company's own warranty on the work, and get both in writing.

  5. Ask who performs the work

    Find out whether the crew are employees or subcontractors, and who supervises them on the day.

  6. Check recent local projects

    Ask for addresses or photographs of comparable jobs finished nearby in the last year or two.

  7. Avoid high-pressure sales

    A discount that expires today, or a knock on the door after a storm, is a reason to slow down rather than sign.

  8. Get everything in writing

    Change orders, timeline and payment schedule included, before the first payment changes hands.

FAQ

General contracting companies in Orlando FAQs

How do I check a general contractor's licence in Orlando?

Ask the company for its Florida licence number and look it up on the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) lookup at myfloridalicense.com. Confirm that the licence is active, that the business name matches your contract and that the licence type fits the job: certified general (CGC) and building (CBC) licences cover additions and larger work, while a residential licence (CRC) covers one and two family homes. Also ask for the Orange County or City of Orlando business tax receipt and proof of insurance.

How much does a general contractor cost in Orlando?

Cost depends on the scope, the age of the house and the finishes, so the honest answer is to get at least three written quotes for the same plan. Contractors price either a fixed contract or cost plus a fee, and the quote should say what is included, how change orders are priced, who pays permit fees and what the payment schedule is. Florida homes often add costs for wind-rated windows and doors, so ask each company to list them separately.

Do I need a permit for a home addition or remodel in Orlando?

Usually yes for additions, structural changes, new electrical or plumbing runs and roof work. Inside Orlando city limits the permit comes from City of Orlando permitting, and in unincorporated areas it comes from Orange County. Ask your contractor who applies, who pays the fee and who schedules the inspections, and get the answer in writing. A contractor who suggests skipping a permit is a warning sign, because unpermitted work can complicate insurance claims and a later sale.
