Southern American Construction, LLC

What this record tells you

Southern American Construction, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1529030, 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 2020, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 69% 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 6 years of continuous licensure.

Southern American Construction, LLC is one of 9 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Inlet Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Todd Maxwell Sr Stephens 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.
