Hiring a contractor in Key West & The Keys — FAQ
How do I check if a contractor in Key West & The Keys is licensed?
Ask for their state license number and search it on the official Florida DBPR portal at myfloridalicense.com. Every one of the 694 companies listed on this page shows its license number, and all were current and active in state records as of 2026-08-11.
Which trades legally require a license in Key West & The Keys?
Roofing, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical and mold remediation all require a Florida state license — this is not optional, and unlicensed contracting is a crime in Florida. General handyman work on small non-structural jobs may not, but anything involving your roof, pipes, HVAC system or mold does.
Do you rank or recommend contractors in Key West & The Keys?
No. This is an impartial directory generated from public license records — companies cannot pay to be listed, removed, or ranked higher. Appearing here means only that the license was current and active when the data was refreshed.
What should I do before hiring anyone in Key West & The Keys?
Verify the license is still active, request current proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation, get at least three written quotes, confirm who is pulling the building permit, and never pay a large deposit in cash up front.
