How to Find a Licensed Contractor in Florida
Are you looking for a contractor for a job in your home? You’ll want to hire a licensed contractor. Unlicensed contracting activity is illegal in Florida. You also want to find a contractor who has liability insurance and worker’s compensation in case of any accidents.
So, how do you find a licensed contractor? And, how do you know if they’re actually licensed? The Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) have partnered together to help Floridians be aware of who is a licensed contractor and who isn’t.
First, look up some contractors. Ask friends and family. Read reviews. Do your research – all before hiring a contractor. Check to see if the contractor has a BBB Accredited Business Seal – this means they are licensed and have been vetted by the BBB. You can verify a contractor’s license on www.myfloridalicense.com, by calling 850-487-1395 or by downloading the DBPR mobile app.
The BBB can also tell you how to find a licensed contractor. Visit https://www.bbb.org/florida-licensing-resource-page/ to get information and resources from the BBB.
