Licensing in Florida

This trade spans different license realities in Florida. Moving plumbing or electrical, relocating a wet wall, or any structural change is licensed contractor work — a building or general contractor plus licensed plumbing and electrical pros. Cosmetic finish work — new cabinets, countertops, retiling, or regrouting — is generally unregulated. A full remodel is never purely unregulated; verify the credential for the scope you are buying.

Basis: FL Stat. 489 (DBPR — building/GC + licensed plumbing/electrical subs) for structural or wet-wall work · cosmetic finish unregulated
