J. Warren Incorporated

What this record tells you

J. Warren Incorporated holds Florida licence RG291103680, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 27% of the 307 active general contracting licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

J. Warren Incorporated is one of 33 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Port St Joe, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jerry Jessie Warren additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences 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.
