Florida’s unpredictable weather, with its frequent storms and hurricanes, can lead to substantial damage to homes, especially roofs. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous roofing companies have taken advantage of homeowners by falsely promising "free" roof replacements through insurance claims. These scams not only result in poor workmanship but can also leave homeowners with significant financial burdens, stuck with a roof that barely lasts the next storm season. In this post, we’ll explore how these fraudulent practices operate, how they harm homeowners, and the legal remedies available to fix the damage and hold contractors accountable.
Unlicensed contractors in Florida are a growing concern for homeowners, businesses, and the state as a whole. An unlicensed contractor is an individual or a company that does not hold a valid license to operate as a contractor in the state of Florida. These unlicensed contractors typically advertise their services online or through door-to-door solicitation, often offering services at a lower price than licensed contractors.
