UGLY BUSINESS – CONSUMERS BEWARE
“…unlicensed contractors can underbid licensed contractors, stealing jobs. What many consumers don’t know is that the reason they can underbid could be because they’re not paying state-required worker’s compensation or liability insurance. In addition, they may not be able to pass the background check, meet training and experience requirements, and can’t meet financial requirements. Ultimately, the consumer can end up paying dearly when he thought he was saving a buck or two.”
Charles W. Drago, Secretary
Department of Business and Professional Regulation

IMPORTANT CONSUMER ALERT: Protect yourself from unlicensed contractor activities. An occupational license is NOT a license to perform contracting work. A Handyman is not a licensed contractor and CANNOT obtain permits. ALWAYS check with your local building department. Make sure that your contractor has a license from Lake or Sumter County Building Divisions or the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. It is AGAINST THE LAW to hire unlicensed contractors and stiff penalties could apply.
