If I use a contractor, what guidelines should I use to choose one?
Ask for and check references, ask to see their state contractor’s license, check to see that their license number is on their business card and proposal, check their license number on the state web site for any complaints. Be aware that if they ask you to obtain the building permit they may not be licensed by the state, which puts the homeowner totally at risk.Florida Complaints Website
