 Homeowners need to make sure they hire only Florida licensed contractorsfor repairs or replacements of their homes and property. Florida Statues require that roofing contractors be licensed through the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB), a division of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). 

 Unfortunately, some individuals pose as licensed professionals to take advantage of consumers. Before hiring a contractor, ask for their license number and verify it by calling the DBPR Customer Contact Center at 850.487.1395 or visiting www.myfloridalicense.com.  

 The Consumer Protection Coalition this week deployed resources to the Panhandle to warn home and auto owners of the dangers associated with signing an Assignment of Benefits (AOB) contract to start repairs on damage caused by Hurricane Michael.
