Default Advice

Florida is well known for having some of the worst fake contractors as well as lawn service guys. Make sure even if you get the pieces of paper that say insured and licensed you do 10 minutes of homework call the insurance company to make sure it's really in effect it has been paid as well as sunbiz.org.
There are a few lawn service guys that are well over 200 people were taken for because they paid $1,000 or more in advance because of big splashy hands and great pricing. On the other hand we are lucky to have some very good air conditioning companies plumbers and electricians that have been in business for several decades in Florida and while they may or may not have the best prices they turn out to be very reliable DeSantis, munns for air conditioning, Dunstan as well as Kylie and sons, dove for plumbing. Well no one is perfect but these several have again been around forever. Enjoy your beautiful retirement and remember if the price is too good to be true or even if it's not no money up front even if it's a huge project.
