Florida's Construction Industry Licensing Board oversees all contractors in the state. Before hiring any general contractor, verify that the business holds a current Florida construction license. The state issues two types of contractor licenses: certified contractors, who may work anywhere in Florida, and registered contractors, who may work only in the jurisdictions where they are registered. A certified contractor's license code begins with C; a registered contractor's code begins with R. You can look up any contractor's license status for free through the Florida DBPR online license search portal at myfloridalicense.com.

Once you've confirmed a contractor is licensed, discuss project scope and permit requirements. Florida law defines a general contractor as someone who undertakes to construct, repair, alter, remodel, add to, demolish, or improve buildings or structures for others. Most remodeling and addition work requires permits and must comply with the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor whether the project will need local permits and whether they will handle the permit process.

Before signing a contract, confirm what the contractor will self-perform versus subcontract, and ask for references from past projects similar to yours. Request that the contractor verify workers' compensation coverage through the state's Construction Policy Tracking Database, which is maintained by the Department of Financial Services.
