Licensing and permits
Florida limits what an unlicensed handyman can do. Structural, roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC work generally requires a licensed contractor, while minor repairs, assembly and cosmetic work usually don't.
Tips before you hire
- Bundle small items into one visit with a written list and a not-to-exceed price.
- If a task touches wiring, plumbing or the roof, expect to be referred to a licensed trade. That's a good sign, not a dodge.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance.
