John W Phillips Construction Company

What this record tells you

John W Phillips Construction Company holds Florida licence CBC055001, a CBC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1992, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 4% of the 645 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 34 years of continuous licensure.

John W Phillips Construction Company is one of 45 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Cantonment, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
