Roofers, plumbers & solar installers in Palmetto, Florida

How do I check a home-service pro's licence in Florida?

Every listing here shows the licence number, status and expiry from the state's own records. Before you hire, confirm it on the state's lookup - it takes a minute.

1. Open the official lookup: Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
2. Search by the licence number shown on the listing (or the business name).
3. Check the status is current/active and the expiry date has not passed.
4. Ask for proof of insurance as well - a licence alone does not cover damage to your home.
5. Get the price and the scope of work in writing before any work starts.

How do I get a fair price from a home-service pro in Palmetto?

4. Or tap "Compare 3 quotes" - Pludor sends your job to local pros and brings the prices back to you.
