Why Licensing Matters

Why Hiring the Right Licensed Contractor Matters

In Florida, not all licenses are created equal. Many companies say they’re “licensed,” but that doesn’t always mean they’re qualified to work on screen enclosures or aluminum structures. Aluminum work requires a specific state license — the Aluminum Specialty Contractor License — which allows the contractor to safely and legally repair, rebuild, and upgrade structures like lanais, pool cages, and patio enclosures.

Even something that seems simple, like changing out rusted screws or replacing a damaged beam, needs to be done by someone with the proper credentials. Hiring an unqualified contractor can lead to failed inspections, denied insurance claims, or unsafe work that won’t hold up in Florida’s weather.

How to Verify a License
Visit Florida’s official licensing website at www.myfloridalicense.com, click “Verify a License,” and search by business name or contractor number. Make sure the license is active and specifically lists Aluminum Specialty Contractor under qualifications.
