Deep South Builders LLC

What this record tells you

Deep South Builders LLC holds Florida licence CBC1265033, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 59% of the 482 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 5 years of continuous licensure.

Deep South Builders LLC is one of 177 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Panama City, 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.
