It is essential for homeowners to ensure the contractors they hire are properly qualified. Beyond being required by the county, trade-specific licenses and liability insurance play a vital role in minimizing risks to your home and family. Here are some potential dangers of 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.
Southern Edge Paint Co. is fully licensed & insured.
