Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is the relevant authority. Florida licenses by trade at the state level (roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, general contracting) and additionally through county-level 'specialty' licenses in some counties.
Licensing threshold: no statewide dollar floor for licensed trades.
DBPR's license verification search covers every state-licensed trade in one place. Check a license here.
Signed a contract at your door and had second thoughts? Federal law (the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule) gives you 3 business days to cancel most door-to-door sales over $25, no reason required - Florida follows the same 3-day window for home-solicitation sales.
To report a problem: Florida Attorney General - Consumer Protection, file a complaint here. DBPR's Construction Industries Recovery Fund can pay claims against a licensed contractor's misconduct, up to statutory limits, after a court judgment.
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 - roofing and generator demand spikes ahead of a named storm and again right after one. AC failures peak in August, the hottest and most humid stretch of the year.
