Frequently asked questions

How do I verify a general contracting license in Fort Lauderdale?

Every listing on this page shows the contractor's state license number (CGC or RG prefix). Copy the number and search it on the official Florida DBPR licensee portal at myfloridalicense.com to confirm it is still current and active before signing anything.

Are the companies listed here endorsed or rated by this site?

No. This is an impartial directory generated from Florida DBPR public license records. Appearing here only means the company held a current, active state license when the data was last refreshed (2026-08-11). Always collect quotes, references and proof of insurance yourself.

Why does hiring a licensed general contracting contractor matter in Florida?

Unlicensed contracting is illegal in Florida and can void your insurance coverage. Licensed contractors carry required insurance and are accountable to the state board, which can discipline them — protection you lose entirely with an unlicensed operator.

A storm just hit Fort Lauderdale — how do I avoid contractor scams?

Be wary of door-to-door "storm chasers": never sign an assignment-of-benefits or contract on the spot, photograph your damage first, and check that the company appears in state license records (like the 3,585 verified listings on this page) before letting anyone on your property. During a declared state of emergency, unlicensed contracting in Florida is a felony — report it to DBPR.
