| Below are
some helpful tips from the
MyFlorida.com Contractors Brochure. |
|
1. |
Review your
contract before you sign it. |
|
2. |
Contact your
insurance company to make sure work performed is covered
under insurance policy. |
|
3. |
Avoid paying
cash. |
|
4. |
Avoid any
contractor who requires full payment in advance. Arrange
to pay after the contractor completes the work or in
agreed-upon installments. |
|
5. |
Don’t sign
off that work is completed until all work is finished
according to your contract, and the contractor has
cleared all permits with final inspection approval from
the building department. |
|
6. |
If your
contract exceeds $2,500, become familiar with the
Florida Construction Lien Law. See the link below.
|
|
7. |
Most jobs
require permits. Always check with your local building
department regarding permits needed for your project. |
| |
|
|
Did you know that pulling an Owner /
Builder permit can put you at financial risk? Do not be
fooled into allowing others to put your good name and
credit in harms way! You can read more about this
unethical practice, and way of protecting yourself, at
the
MyFlorida website.
