As a holder of Florida state General Contractor license CGC-059199, our firm brings a wealth of experience that spans decades in the construction industry. We are staunch advocates for meticulous workmanship and strict compliance with all regulatory requirements from the outset. History has consistently taught us that cutting corners or bypassing the due process of obtaining permits may seem like a time-saver initially, but such approaches almost inevitably result in significant setbacks and unforeseen issues.

In our current era, the home improvement sector demands diligence in securing the appropriate permits for renovations, repairs, or enhancements. This step transcends mere regulatory compliance—foundational for any project’s legal and operational sustainability. Despite this, a troubling pattern has emerged where some unlicensed entities neglect to secure these permits, engaging in unauthorized construction activities.

This ill-advised practice of foregoing permits can precipitate a domino effect of negative outcomes. Homeowners embarking on selling their property may confront formidable obstacles due to the absence of requisite permits, which can impede or derail real estate transactions. Did you know that Florida sellers are required by law to disclose unpermitted work at the time of the sale of the home? If the seller does not do so, the buyer can be entitled to go after them with legal action to recoup the cost of the permits, changes that need to be made to bring a remodel up to code, and legal fees. Yet another issue is that Insurance acquisition becomes a labyrinthine endeavor, with many providers disinclined to insure unpermitted work, leaving homeowners and their properties at considerable risk.

Moreover, the specter of code violations looms large for unpermitted projects, summoning a suite of expensive remedies, potential legal entanglements, fines, and the potential devaluation of the property itself.

To encapsulate, the prudent selection of licensed contractors and the rigorous pursuit of all necessary permits might demand a greater initial investment of time and resources. However, this approach is a safeguard for homeowners, ensuring their investments align with local codes, preserving their properties’ value, and securing future insurability.
