FAQ

When dealing with construction and renovation, hiring a licensed contractor is critical to ensuring quality work and legal compliance. In Florida, unlicensed contracting is not only a risky affair for homeowners and businesses but also a legal issue that can result in criminal charges and civil actions.

Navigating this process correctly is crucial, as failure to do so may affect the property owner's right to pursue legal action. Property owners facing disputes with contractors should consider consulting with an experienced construction law attorney to understand their rights and options.

Breach of contract actions generally require proof of the same elements regardless of the type of contract. Under Florida law, a plaintiff must establish: (1) the existence of a valid contract, (2) “material” breach of an obligation under the contract by the other party and (3) damages resulting from the breach.

Typically, property owners can file a claim under Florida's construction defect laws, which are designed to protect consumers from shoddy workmanship. One common remedy is to file a breach of contract claim. If the builder or contractor did not meet the agreed-upon standards, the property owner may sue for damages.

If you wish to file a complaint against a contractor, you may contact the Department of Business & Professional Regulation online at .myfloridalicense or by phone at (850) 487-1395.
