Greater Gulf Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Greater Gulf Construction LLC holds Florida licence RG0045768, 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 1984, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 5% of the 403 active general contracting licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2009. That is 42 years of continuous licensure.

Greater Gulf Construction LLC is one of 45 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Niceville, 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.
