It is crucial for homeowners to make sure the contractors they employ are qualified. In addition to being mandated by the county, trade-specific licensure and liability insurance also serve to reduce household risk. The following are some risks associated with working with unlicensed contractors:

1. No coverage under homeowners policy:

Unlicensed work (typically) will not be covered under your homeowners policy. If something goes wrong, it will be your responsibility to fix it.

2. Liability:

The homeowner may be liable for any personal or financial injuries if the unlicensed contractor is uninsured.

3. Scam Scenario:

An unlicensed contractor accepts a deposit or prepayment but doesn’t start/complete any work.

An unlicensed contractor cannot be disciplined by the Florida DBPR (Department of Business & Professional Regulation). The DBPR cannot help you get your money back or require a person(s) to finish incomplete work.
