Elmer Cook Construction, Inc.

What this record tells you

Elmer Cook Construction, Inc. holds Florida licence CCC057918, 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 2000, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 16% of the 137 active roofing licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 26 years of continuous licensure.

Elmer Cook Construction, Inc. is one of 21 active roofing licences registered to an address in Fort Walton Beach, 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.
