Break-N-Ground, LLC

What this record tells you

Break-N-Ground, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1531365, 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 67% 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 5 years of continuous licensure.

Break-N-Ground, LLC is one of 120 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Panama City, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Herbert Eugene Williams additionally holds 2 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.
