Finding a Plumbing Contractor
When you are finding a plumbing contractor, certain questions should be asked:
- How many years have they been in business?
- Do they have a large or small company?
- Does the contractor have a license with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation?
- As a plumber, does she or he have liability insurance and workers comp?
- Does the plumbing company also have an occupational license from the county or local municipality?
A master plumber or plumbing contractor should have about 10 years in the trade. On the question of company size, I have found over the years that large companies carry large overhead and it will reflect on the bill. When dealing with a small plumbing company, it seems like you get personalized service, and quality work also seems to be an important factor. Large and small companies alike have to be licensed with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.
When selecting a contractor, the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation has a 24 hour website to verify whether a plumbing contractor is currently licensed. Go to myfloridalicense.com, click on verify a license, and then choose the option that you prefer. And remember, contractors must have liability insurance and workers comp to operate in the State of Florida.
