Panhandle Building Solutions Inc.

What this record tells you

Panhandle Building Solutions Inc. holds Florida licence CRC1335590, a CRC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential 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 88% of the 521 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Panhandle Building Solutions Inc. is one of 59 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Niceville, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Demetrio Cruz Gonzales 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 08/31/2028. 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.
