Sims Construction Co Inc

What this record tells you

Sims Construction Co Inc holds Florida licence CGC1511049, 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 2006, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 31% of the 430 active general contracting licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 20 years of continuous licensure.

Sims Construction Co Inc is one of 64 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Gulf Breeze, 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.
