Bathcrest of Northwest Florida

What this record tells you

Bathcrest of Northwest Florida holds Florida licence RR282811975, a RR classification which authorises work as a certified/registered building or residential 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 53% of the 521 active home building & remodeling licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 9 years of continuous licensure.

Bathcrest of Northwest Florida is one of 51 active home building & remodeling licences registered to an address in Fort Walton Beach, 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.
