David Shald LLC

What this record tells you

David Shald LLC holds Florida licence CGC1515259, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 39% 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 18 years of continuous licensure.

David Shald LLC is one of 3 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Pensacola 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.
