A & O Builders LLC

What this record tells you

A & O Builders LLC holds Florida licence RG291103929, 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 2017, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 66% of the 1,400 active general contracting licences based in the Jacksonville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 9 years of continuous licensure.

A & O Builders LLC is one of 64 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Ponte Vedra Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Ermal Alija 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.
