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. If a pro gave us a license number, it is on their page. Look it up on your state's website before you hire. Pros with the Checked badge had their license and insurance checked by a person.
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.
Start a project →Do businesses pay to be listed or ranked?
Listing is free. Placement can be paid, and it is always labeled: the Area Sponsor for that trade and city first, then up to two Sponsored results from Pro plans, then Checked pros, then free listings. Money never buys the Checked badge, an award, a vote or a review.
Who are the best-rated home-service pros here?
Homeowners decide in the Top of the Trades awards. Nominations open January 1, voting runs August 15 to October 15 with one vote per home, and winners are announced November 1.
