O'Neal Roofing Company

What this record tells you

O'Neal Roofing Company holds Florida licence CCC016346, a CCC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered roofing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1980, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 139 active roofing licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 46 years of continuous licensure.

O'Neal Roofing Company is one of 32 active roofing licences registered to an address in Lake City, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. John Winston O'Neal additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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.
