Southern Excellence Contracting LLC.

What this record tells you

Southern Excellence Contracting LLC. holds Florida licence RG291104137, 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 2022, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 74% of the 430 active general contracting licences based in the Pensacola area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 4 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Excellence Contracting LLC. is one of 216 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Pensacola, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jimmie Shane Murphy 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.
