π¨ Not all drywall contractors are created equal.
Thereβs a common myth floating around: βDrywall and drywall repair donβt require a license in Florida.β
Thatβs wrong. Florida law requires a license for drywall work β including repairs. Itβs not optional.
Hereβs why it matters for YOUR home:
β
Licensed = accountable. We carry proper insurance, pull permits when required, and our work meets Florida building codes.
β
Licensed = vetted. To obtain a Florida license, contractors must pass background checks and credit checks. You know who youβre letting into your home.
β
Licensed = trained. Improper drywall work can hide moisture damage, mold, and structural issues β problems you wonβt see until theyβre expensive.
β
Licensed = protected. If something goes wrong with an unlicensed contractor, your homeownerβs insurance may not cover it.
β οΈ What most homeowners donβt know: Hiring an unlicensed contractor isnβt just risky β it can be illegal. The county can issue a stop work order, and you as the homeowner can face liability too.
Unlike electrical, a bad drywall job wonβt electrocute you β but it will cost you more to fix later, and it can void your insurance coverage.
Hire smart. Hire licensed.
