Frequently asked questions
When do I need a general contractor?
For any project involving structural work, multiple trades, or permits — additions, full remodels, new construction, and post-storm rebuilds. Small single-trade jobs may only need that specific licensed trade.
How do I verify a Florida general contractor?
Confirm an active DBPR (CILB) contractor license, general liability insurance, and workers' compensation. Verify the license covers the scope and check that permits will be pulled in the contractor's name — never yours.
Should I get multiple bids?
Yes. Get at least three written, itemized bids, confirm the scope and allowances match, and be wary of bids far below the others or requests for large upfront cash.
