Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc.

What this record tells you

Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1527293, 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 2019, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 55% of the 307 active general contracting licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 7 years of continuous licensure.

Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc. is one of 120 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Panama City, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Ronald W Jr Rogers additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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