Upper Keys Construction LLC

What this record tells you

Upper Keys Construction LLC holds Florida licence RG291103948, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 65% of the 230 active general contracting licences based in the Key West & The Keys area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

Upper Keys Construction LLC is one of 14 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Islamorada, 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.
