Coastal Roofing & Exteriors LLC

What this record tells you

Coastal Roofing & Exteriors LLC holds Florida licence RC29027789, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 50% of the 227 active roofing licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2021. That is 5 years of continuous licensure.

Coastal Roofing & Exteriors LLC is one of 37 active roofing licences registered to an address in Milton, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. James David Padgett 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.
