What changes the price
- Scope, finishes and layout changes (moving plumbing costs more)
- Permits, engineering and inspections
- Hurricane-code requirements (impact windows and doors, tie-downs)
- Material lead times
Before you hire
- Get at least 3 itemized bids with the same scope.
- Keep deposits modest: Florida law sets permit and start deadlines when a contractor takes more than 10% up front.
- Ask for lien releases from subcontractors before the final payment.
What is different in Florida
Florida building codes require wind-rated windows, doors and structural connections, especially in Miami-Dade and Broward. Big jobs usually need a Notice of Commencement recorded with the county. See also: how to check a contractor license in Florida.
