Licensing and permits
Flooring replacement generally doesn't need a state specialty license, but structural subfloor work does. Condo installs must meet association sound-control rules.
Tips before you hire
- Luxury vinyl plank and tile handle Florida humidity and moisture better than solid hardwood.
- Condo owners: get the required underlayment rating approved in writing first.
- Ask whether the quote includes removal, disposal, leveling and baseboards.
