The Qualifying Contractor

Meet John, Your Qualifying
Contractor

Genti Kraja, known to clients as John, is the qualifying contractor behind Planet Construction and Smart Roofing Contractor. He holds a Certified General Contractor license (CGC1517295) and a Certified Roofing Contractor license (CCC1329271) in the State of Florida, along with CVC57244 and CCC1332840 under Smart Roofing LLC.

That matters more than it sounds. A qualifying contractor is the person legally responsible for the work pulled under those license numbers, the permits filed with the city, and the inspections that follow. When you hire Planet Construction, you are not routed through a sales layer or a franchise office. You speak with John directly about your scope, your timeline, and your budget.

John built the company on a simple standard: if his name and license are on the permit, his crew does the work. That is why Planet Construction keeps roofing, concrete restoration, waterproofing, window installation, and general carpentry in-house rather than farming each trade out to a rotating list of subcontractors.

Zero-Subcontractor Accountability

Why We Keep Crews In-House

Subcontractor handoffs are where most construction complaints start. We designed our staffing model to remove that risk.

One Accountable Team

Our roofers, concrete technicians, waterproofing crews, and window installers work for Planet Construction, not a third-party subcontractor hired for the week. If an issue arises, we own it and resolve it immediately without middleman disputes.
