Earthbuild LLC

What this record tells you

Earthbuild LLC holds Florida licence CGC1507163, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 26% of the 403 active general contracting licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2009. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Earthbuild LLC is one of 9 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Inlet Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jared F Smartt additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
