Residential and storm work in Florida

Roofing and insurance restoration are the two places Florida writes your contract for you, down to the notices that have to appear on the page. These guides cover the contract terms, the recovery fund, and the rules that come into force the week after a storm.

Practical guidesThe Florida residential contractFour short blocks decide whether a homeowner's attorney has anything to work with: the s.489.1425 recovery fund statement, the s.713.015 lien law warning, your license number on every offer, and a three business day cancellation rule applied only to the jobs it attaches to.Practical guidesStorm and insurance roofsPut the s.489.147 blocks on your signature page and every storm contract you sign stands up. The two different 10-day owner rights, the deductible rules that carry a $10,000 fine or a felony, and one pipeline for a forty-roof month.Practical guidesFlorida roofing licenseThe certified roofing contractor license is what makes a storm month worth working: one credential, all 67 counties, and the s.489.147 rules that scare everyone else become the moat around the roofers who read them.Practical guidesFlorida deposit rulesFlorida does not stop you taking money up front. Section 489.126 attaches two duties to the deposit once it passes a threshold, and a contractor who runs them on purpose is the one who keeps getting deposits.
