Florida is cracking down on unlicensed construction. How should property owners verify a licensed roofing contractor before hurricane season?
Florida is increasing funding to investigate unlicensed construction activity through DBPR, and hurricane season begins June 1. The safest next step is to verify licensure, get a written scope, and schedule a roof review with a licensed professional before storm conditions create urgency.
Florida is increasing enforcement against unlicensed work
Florida’s House and Senate reached a bipartisan agreement to allocate more than $1 million to investigate unlicensed activity across multiple sectors, including unlicensed construction work, with funds directed to DBPR
What was proposed for enforcement funding
- $500,000: Unlicensed real estate activity
- $500,000: Unlicensed construction work (including stings and sweeps)
- $100,000: Unlicensed certified public accountant activity
DBPR is also expected to provide a detailed report by November 2 outlining activities, revenues, and expenditures by board and profession.
Hurricane season begins June 1: what to do now
Hurricane season begins June 1, which is why many Florida roofing organizations urge consumers to hire a Florida licensed professional roofing contractor and to prepare early.
Pre-storm roof readiness checklist
- Walk the perimeter and look for missing, lifted, cracked, or displaced materials
- Check flashing lines at vents, skylights, and wall transitions
- Clear gutters, drains, and downspouts so water exits the roof system
- Photograph any existing concerns before weather changes the story
- Schedule a roof review early so you are not forced into “emergency decisions”Request service: https://rainbowroofing.com/florida-roofing-company/contact-us/
