Florida Construction License Regulations
Summary
In Florida, each business must have its own valid construction license; using anothers is not allowed. For refund issues beyond the 3-day cancellation period, check the businesss refund policy or contract terms. If a permit is denied, liability for purchased materials depends on contract specifics, typically placing responsibility on the contractor. If a contractor fails to fulfill promises, such as resubmitting permits, consider filing a complaint with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Subcontractors can be used, but the primary contractor must ensure they are licensed and comply with state laws. For custom materials disputes, emphasize contract terms and efforts made to resolve issues. Legal consultation may be necessary for unresolved disputes.Full Conversation

Hi I signed a contract with G&F Contractors
under the license of D. Martinez Service.
CGC * on Feb *, *. This was for a
patio enclosure replacement and new sliding
glass doors. They measured the patio with a
measuring tape. Sometime at the end of APril
I asked for an update on the permit. Finally
May 24th is when they told me the permit
was rejected. The county wanted AC
installed in the patio and fire sprinklers. I
said I can't afford that and requested my
money back. They said no refunds. I said that
isn't in the contract and adding AC and
sprinklers alters the contract. I said nop. He said they would split
it. I said no. They messed up and that is a
business expense on them. Then he said
they'd resubmit for free and I said ok. They
never did. Long story short, a year later and I
have no patio and no refund of my *.*
deposit.

Dear [Recipient's Name],
I am writing to formally address my concerns regarding the contract signed with G&F Contractors under the license of D. Martinez Service (CGC *) on February *, *, for a patio enclosure replacement and new sliding glass doors.
Despite the initial measurements and assurances, the permit application was rejected by the county on May *, *, due to additional requirements for AC installation and fire sprinklers. I expressed that I could not afford these additional requirements and requested a refund, which was denied by the contractor. They proposed splitting the costs, which I declined, as these requirements were not part of the original contract.
The contractor later promised to resubmit the permit application at no additional cost, but failed to follow through. It has now been a year, and I have neither the completed patio nor a refund of my $*,* deposit.
I believe this situation is a breach of our contract. The contractor's failure to obtain the necessary permits and refusal to refund my deposit or complete the project as agreed is unacceptable. Therefore, I kindly request a full refund of my $*,* deposit.
I have attached all relevant communication records for your reference. I hope to resolve this matter amicably. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will be compelled to file a formal complaint with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Best regards,

Few key points before we proceed
We had agreed to bring the engineer on side to take final measurements and sketch to be submitted for materials and permits
All materials ordered for windows and doors are custom to the measurements of the existing opening
Contract is with D Martinez services which reserves the right to hire subcontractors.
Upon permit reviewed from the city they came back with a few requests ,asking for the unit to have airflow vents and fire sprinklers which the homeowner refused to accept/ comply.
Under this uncertainty we have offer every solution possible on our end to have this permit approved and job finished We have even offered to pay in full for further engineering and permit proceeds but homeowner kept insisting on cancelling the job but homeowner kept insisting in cancelling the job even after explaining we are outside the cancellation period.

- Review Contract Terms: Check the contract for details on permit responsibilities and cancellation policies.

We have been in our best intentions to find a solution with the homeowner, we have the custom made windows and doors( which took weeks to arrive) sitting in our warehouse as we have expressed multiple times.
We are willing to give homeowner the materials which again are custom made to her unit openings, there’s a remaining balance of $*,* for said materials.
