Licensing and rules
Florida licenses construction trades through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The Construction Industry Licensing Board covers general, building, residential, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, pool and other contractors. Certified contractors can work statewide, while registered contractors may work only where they hold a local license. Electricians are licensed by the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board.
Many specialty trades, such as painting, flooring, fencing and handyman work, are licensed by the county or city instead. Check any Florida license at myfloridalicense.com before you hire.
Hiring here: common questions
How do I check that a contractor here is licensed?
Most states license trades like roofing, HVAC, plumbing and electrical work through a state board. Where a business gave us its license number, it is on its profile. Look that number up on the state board's website before you hire. Businesses with our trust badge had their license and insurance checked by a person, on the date shown.
How do I get quotes from local pros?
Describe the job and we send you a shortlist of verified businesses that serve this area. You choose who gets your details. We never sell them.
