Licensed & Insured— Why it Matters

Why Licensed & Insured Always Matters

At Capalac Aluminum & Screen, being fully licensed and insured isn't something we just check off a list— it's a cornerstone of how we do business and a promise we make to every customer. We believe you deserve to know exactly who is working on your home and why it matters.

What's at stake when a contractor isn't licensed:

Florida requires specialty contractors to hold a state-issued license for good reason. An unlicensed contractor cannot legally pull permits, which means the work they perform is never inspected and may not meet local or state building codes. That's not just a technicality— it can directly affect the safety, value, and insurability of your home.

What you could be exposed to:

Hiring an unlicensed contractor puts you at risk in ways that aren't always obvious upfront. These can include personal liability if a worker is injured on your property, unpaid vendor liens placed against your home, tax and legal complications, and work that simply doesn't meet minimum professional or code standards— leaving you with costly repairs down the road.

Your warranty and insurance coverage could be affected:

Many homeowners don't realize that having work performed by an unlicensed contractor can void manufacturer warranties on materials and structures. Perhaps more importantly, if something goes wrong, your homeowner's insurance may refuse to cover the damage— leaving you fully responsible for the costs.
