Research What Jacksonville residents should know
W.W. Gay Mechanical Contractor is the mechanical contractor at 524 Stockton Street, Jacksonville, FL 32204, in Riverside. Google Places lists the phone as (904) 388-2696. This Stay Safe Jax page is the Stockton Street company. It is not a Beaches residential HVAC truck brand, not Lickety Split, and not the smaller W W Gay Mechanical Google listing at 2160 McCoy Creek Boulevard. Residents and project managers looking for this contractor should use the 524 Stockton Street address. Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Google Places currently lists W.W. Gay Mechanical Contractor, Inc. at 4.3 from 71 reviews for the 524 Stockton Street listing, the same place ID stored here. Stay Safe Jax has no stored Yelp rating, so the headline is the Google snapshot: 4.3 from 71 reviews. A 71-review file is ordinary for a commercial mechanical contractor that mostly works on hospitals, airports, and industrial plants. It is not a 1–10 failed match. Google currently lists Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and closed Saturday and Sunday. That is a weekday shop schedule, not a 24-hour residential dispatch claim. Call (904) 388-2696 before you treat this listing as an after-hours home AC company. Google Places lists wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance. Stay Safe Jax did not independently inspect the yard. The Jacksonville Daily Record’s April 16, 2026 Top Contractors list ranked W.W. Gay Mechanical Contractor Inc. No. 4, with 2025 local revenue of $217 million, 1,200 full-time employees, and leadership listed as Paul Jones, CEO, and Tom Smith, president and chief operating officer. The paper said the largest project started in 2025 was a $30 million, 123,000-square-foot Baptist Medical Center emergency-department expansion, and it named UF Health Durbin Park, the UF Health Leon Haley emergency-department expansion, and the Jacksonville Aviation Authority Concourse B terminal among other jobs. The April 17, 2025 Daily Record ranking placed the same company No. 3 on 2024 local revenue of $365 million and named UF Health Durbin Park Hospital as the largest 2024 start. The JAX Chamber member directory lists the same Stockton Street address and 1995 membership. Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation license detail for Paul Vernon Jones Jr., doing business as W. W. Gay Mechanical Contractor, Inc., shows certified mechanical contractor license CMC1250830 at 524 Stockton Street, current and active. Stay Safe Jax leaves warning flags at 0. This is a long-running Riverside commercial mechanical contractor with a modest Google consumer file, weekday hours, and a public Daily Record ranking. The tone follows that evidence. Stay Safe Jax does not paste a company website and does not treat hospital-project coverage as a residential warning.
