Royster Contracting LLC

What this record tells you

Royster Contracting LLC holds Florida licence RC0067165, a RC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered roofing contractor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 1998, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 11% of the 137 active roofing licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 28 years of continuous licensure.

Royster Contracting LLC is one of 21 active roofing licences registered to an address in Fort Walton Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Claude C III Royster 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 08/31/2027. 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.
