Builder Support Services, LLC

What this record tells you

Builder Support Services, LLC holds Florida licence RC29027548, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 29% of the 151 active roofing licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Builder Support Services, LLC is one of 9 active roofing licences registered to an address in Port St Joe, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. William Brian Cathey 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.
