Paul Davis Restoration of the Emerald Coast

What this record tells you

Paul Davis Restoration of the Emerald Coast holds Florida licence CMC1251697, a CMC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered air conditioning or mechanical contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2025, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 86% of the 192 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Paul Davis Restoration of the Emerald Coast is one of 14 active hvac & ac repair 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.
