Garage Up First Coast

What this record tells you

Garage Up First Coast holds Florida licence RG291104166, 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 2023, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 83% 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 3 years of continuous licensure.

Garage Up First Coast is one of 86 active general contracting licences registered to an address in St Augustine, 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.
