Hm Contracting Services, LLC

What this record tells you

Hm Contracting Services, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1511496, 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 37% 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 20 years of continuous licensure.

Hm Contracting Services, LLC is one of 29 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Freeport, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Noah Justin Merckle additionally holds 3 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.
