Is It Legal to Hire an Unlicensed Fence Contractor in Florida?

At Mossy Oak Tampa, we know that deciding to install a fence around your home or business is a big decision, one with a lot more moving parts than expected. The question of who you should trust to install your fence is one of the most important questions in the fencing process. There are very specific rules and regulations surrounding fence contracting and installation, especially in Florida.

Here’s what you need to know when considering whether it’s legal to hire an unlicensed fence contractor in Florida. 

First of all, it’s not legal to hire an unlicensed contractor of any type in Florida. 

The first thing you’ll need to know about hiring an unlicensed fence contractor in Florida is that it is illegal. If the truth comes to light that you knowingly hired an unlicensed contractor to work on any home repairs or installation, you can be fined, and any work done by that contractor will have to cease immediately.

Some reasons to go with Mossy Oak Tampa’s fence experts instead.

Aside from the fact that it is illegal and highly inadvisable from a liability standpoint to hire an unlicensed fence contractor, odds are good that if your fence contractor is unlicensed, they might make serious errors in your fence installation – errors that might make your fence look bad at best or make your fence unstable and dangerous for your family at worst. Our team at Mossy Oak Tampa is passionate about fencing solutions. Our contractors are all incredibly knowledgeable about fences and fence installation. Wouldn’t you want the pros to handle your fence installation so that you’re not having to deal with the headaches of repairs and legal trouble later?
