Paul Davis Restoration of the Emerald Coast

What this record tells you

Paul Davis Restoration of the Emerald Coast holds Florida licence CGC1530071, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 73% 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 5 years of continuous licensure.

Paul Davis Restoration of the Emerald Coast is one of 55 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Destin, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Gregory Scott Clifton additionally holds 4 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.
