Jack Pelham

What this record tells you

Jack Pelham holds Florida licence RG0014246, a RG classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general 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 2001, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 20% of the 330 active general contracting licences based in the Tallahassee area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2010. That is 25 years of continuous licensure.

Jack Pelham is one of 239 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Tallahassee, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
