How do I check a contractor's license?
To verify a license, visit MyFloridaLicense.com and click “Verify a License” or go to the License Search page. Search by name, license number, or city/county. Review results to confirm an active, matching license category (plumbing/general contracting), and current expiration. Check for disciplinary actions. No record may mean an unlicensed contractor; report to the ULA hotline (866-532-1440) or ULA@myfloridalicense.com.
How do I verify a contractor's business licence?
If a contractor is a corporation or LLC, check Sunbiz.org. Search by entity or officer/registered agent name. Confirm the business is ACTIVE and details are current. For example, searching “S.E. Tradesmen” reveals associated entities like S.E. TRADESMEN LLC.
Why should I hire a licensed contractor?
Hiring licensed contractors ensures legal compliance, as required by Florida Statute 489.103 and often by homeowner’s insurance. Licensed contractors are insured, protecting you from liability for injuries or damages, and state licensing mandates liability insurance. Additionally, the Homeowners’ Construction Recovery Fund offers financial protection if a licensed contractor defaults. They efficiently handle permits and inspections, avoiding delays and costly mistakes. Finally, licensed professionals provide peace of mind with workmanship warranties and accountability through disciplinary systems.
Legal & Insurance Protection: Licensed work is crucial for building code compliance (Florida Statute 489.103) and homeowner’s insurance coverage. Licensed contractors are insured, protecting you from liability for injuries or damages.
Financial Protection: The Homeowners’ Construction Recovery Fund offers financial recourse if a licensed contractor defaults.
Efficiency & Peace of Mind: Licensed contractors handle permits and inspections efficiently, preventing delays. They often provide workmanship warranties and are accountable through disciplinary systems.
What plumbing can a handyman do?
Florida doesn’t issue a “handyman license,” but state contractor licensing laws still apply. Handymen can perform small repair and maintenance jobs under $1,000 (labor and materials) that don’t require a building permit. Minor, non-structural repairs are generally allowed. Jobs over $1,000 typically need a licensed contractor. Plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work often requires a state-licensed professional, regardless of job size.
When in doubt, it’s best to consult with your local building department or the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) to avoid fines or code violations.
Task Type | Allowed for Handyman? |
Drain unclogging, faucet filters | âś” Yes (if <$2,500 total) |
Fixture installation (simple, “plug-in”) | âś” Yes |
Appliance hookups (dishwasher, water heater) | ❌ No |
In-wall/pipe/hard-wired plumbing | ❌ No |
Any work requiring a permit or exceeding $2,500 | ❌ No |
Red Flags Your Contractor may not be licensed?
Be wary of contractors who:
- Don’t list a license number in ads. Licensed contractors must display this information.
- Only provide a name and cell number. Avoid inviting strangers from anonymous sources into your home.
- Claim to be “licensed and insured” but only have an occupational license. These are not professional licenses. Verify actual professional licenses with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation and proof of insurance.
- Demand all or most of the money upfront, or only accept cash. Never pay cash for home repairs.
- Ask you to write checks to them individually or to “cash.” Exercise caution with checks made payable to individuals.
- Show up in unmarked vehicles with out-of-state tags, offering work. These “trunk slammers” often disappear after payment.
- Refuse to put the work agreement in writing. Legitimate contractors provide detailed written agreements, including work descriptions, completion dates, and total costs.
Claim permits aren’t necessary or suggest you obtain them. Most home improvements require permits and inspections for safety and insurance purposes. Contact your local building department if unsure about permit requirements.
