Before you hire
Ask this of anyone you are considering for the work — including someone who is not a LEO member:
- Is this within handyman scope, or does it need a licensed trade and a permit?
- Do you carry insurance my association will accept, and can you send the certificate?
- Is this priced hourly or by the job?
What's different in South Florida
Condo and HOA rules govern a surprising amount of small work here. Flooring, water heaters and anything touching a shared wall or the building exterior often need association approval plus a certificate of insurance from whoever does the work. Hurricane shutter hardware is its own recurring seasonal job. Sort the association paperwork before the work is scheduled, not after someone knocks on the door.
