Contractor Vetting and Due Diligence: Protecting Your Home and Business
Florida families and businesses often depend on contractors for renovations, construction, and ongoing maintenance. While many deliver quality work, some exploit trust through inflated pricing, poor workmanship, or outright fraud. Choosing the wrong contractor can cost tens of thousands of dollars and leave projects unfinished. Vetting and due diligence are essential steps in protecting your investment.
Why contractor vetting matters
Contractors are entrusted with access to property, finances, and sensitive information. After hurricanes or major storms, unlicensed and unqualified contractors flood the market, making it even harder to distinguish legitimate professionals from opportunists. Verifying credentials and reputation before work begins helps prevent costly disputes later.
