When Should You Hire a General Contractor?

Scenarios:

  • You’re removing or moving walls. Structural changes need to be evaluated, permitted, and built correctly the first time.
  • Your project involves several trades. A kitchen remodel can involve demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinets, and finishes, and a GC coordinates all of them in the right order.
  • Your project needs a building permit. A GC handles the applications, schedules inspections, and works to close out the permit.
  • You’re adding space. Additions, garage conversions, and enclosed porches involve structure, roofing, and building systems.
  • You’re opening or relocating a business. Landlords commonly require a licensed and insured contractor for tenant build-outs.
  • You’re renovating an investment property. Investors need an accurate scope, a firm budget, and documentation lenders will accept for draw requests.
  • You’re repairing storm or water damage. Repairs often cover several areas of a property and may involve insurance documentation.
  • You don’t have time to manage the project yourself. A GC is your single point of contact for scheduling, subcontractors, materials, and quality control.

Why Hire a Licensed General Contractor?

The FIG Construction Services Advantage

  • One accountable team. FIG manages scheduling, subcontractors, materials, permits, and inspections, so you aren’t coordinating multiple trades yourself.
  • Licensed oversight. Every project is overseen by a Florida Certified General Contractor, regulated by the state’s Construction Industry Licensing Board.
  • Clear budgets and scopes. You receive a defined scope and estimate before work begins, which reduces surprise costs.
  • Lien protection process. We provide lien releases from our subcontractors and suppliers with payments, so you aren’t paying twice.
  • Permit compliance. Work is permitted, inspected, and closed out properly, which matters when you sell, refinance, or insure the property.
  • Investor-ready documentation. Scopes, estimates, and draw documentation are prepared in a format lenders can review.

The Risks of Going Without a Licensed Contractor in Florida

  • You could pay twice. Florida’s lien law allows unpaid subcontractors and suppliers to place a lien on your property, even if you already paid the person who hired them.
  • You may lose state recovery protection. Florida’s Homeowners’ Construction Recovery Fund can reimburse eligible homeowners up to $50,000, but only when the contractor was licensed at the time of the contract.
  • You may take on injury liability. If you pull an owner-builder permit and hire unlicensed workers, you can be held liable for their injuries on your property.
  • Investors can’t use the owner-builder exemption. It applies only to property you’ll occupy. If you sell or lease within one year of completion, the law presumes you built it for sale or lease.
  • Unlicensed contracting is a crime in Florida. It’s a first-degree misdemeanor, and a repeat offense is a third-degree felony. Anyone offering to “just pull a permit in your name” is a red flag.

Remodeling & Renovation

Remodeling means working within existing structures where conditions are never fully known until walls open. H&S Enterprises plans for this by building contingency into timelines and budgets before demolition starts. Old homes often have wiring that predates modern loads and plumbing that has slowly corroded for decades. When these are found, clients get told what is there and what options exist. Bathroom remodels get waterproofed properly so moisture does not find its way into adjacent rooms. Kitchen renovations account for cabinet lead times so countertop templating happens exactly once. Additions are tied into existing foundations so settlement does not create cracks later. Finished spaces look like they belonged there originally.
