Yerkes South Inc.

What this record tells you

Yerkes South Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1522551, 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 2014, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 57% 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 12 years of continuous licensure.

Yerkes South Inc. is one of 24 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Crestview, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
