Coastal corrosion accelerates HVAC coil degradation by 40–60%. Inland contractors often miss marine-grade requirements on coastal installs.
Florida averages 54 inches of rain — more than Seattle. Persistent moisture drives mold in ductwork, crawlspaces, and around plumbing penetrations.
Florida leads all states in hurricane landfalls since 1851. Post-storm roof, electrical, and HVAC demand spikes require contractors who understand surge protocols.
Florida HVAC systems run nearly year-round. Annual runtime exceeds northern states by 3–4×, meaning maintenance cycles that work in Atlanta fail here.
of Florida HVAC systems are over 10 years old — past the point where efficiency declines sharply in high-humidity climates.
of homes built 1978–1995 contain polybutylene plumbing — a known failure-prone material no longer manufactured.

There's a difference between selling leads and routing certified contractors.
A monitored contractor network built to protect homeowners.
Contractors must verify licensing, insurance, and track record before certification. Not everyone qualifies.
Your request is routed to one certified contractor — never broadcast to a list. Real humans answer when you call.
Every completed job is reviewed. Outcomes are tracked. No job goes unmonitored.
Underperformance triggers review. Repeated issues may result in revocation. Certification is earned — not permanent.
Every trade held to the same admission, monitoring, and enforcement standards.
Repair, new installation, remodels, emergency service, duct cleaning, indoor air quality.
Repair, new construction, remodels, water heater, repipe, sewer line, emergency service.
Panel upgrades, new construction, remodel wiring, EV charger install, emergency service.
Storm damage, full replacement, new construction, remodel additions, insurance claims.
Three steps. Under five minutes. One contractor who's earned their spot.
Submit your request or call us. Select your trade, service, and Florida ZIP code. No bidding. No broadcast.
Your job is routed to one certified contractor in your area. For larger projects, you can opt into up to three quotes. Never a lead blast.
Your contractor arrives, does the work, and we follow up. Performance is recorded. Certification stays conditional.
Every contractor on our platform goes through a verification process before they're approved — we check licensing, insurance, and their track record in the community. Once they're certified, every job they complete through us is graded. If they underperform, their certification can be revoked. That accountability is your protection and it's something no other referral service offers.
When you submit a request on HomeAdvisor or Angi, your phone number gets sold to three, four, sometimes five contractors at once. Within minutes you're getting calls and texts from companies you've never heard of, all competing for your attention. Missed appointments, aggressive follow-ups, and no accountability if the work is bad — that's the model they built. We do the opposite. Your request is routed to one certified contractor. For larger projects, you can opt into up to three quotes — but every one of them has earned their spot in the network.
Zero. Our service is completely free for homeowners. The certified contractors on our platform pay to participate because they get exclusive, high-quality leads — not a bidding war. You'll never see a fee, a signup, or a credit card form from us.
We cover four core trades: HVAC (air conditioning, heating, duct cleaning), plumbing (repair, water heater, repipe, drain), electrical (panel upgrades, wiring, EV chargers), and roofing (storm damage, replacement, insurance claims). Whether it's an emergency repair, routine maintenance, a remodel, or new construction — we have a certified contractor for it.
Yes. Every contractor in our certified network is required to offer financing options. Whether it's a surprise repair or a planned upgrade, you'll have flexible payment options available for qualified buyers. That's part of what it means to be 247 Local Trades Certified — we want homeowners to have real choices, not just a bill they weren't expecting.
Call us directly at (850) 403-9797. For emergencies, phone is the fastest path. A live agent will connect you with the nearest available certified contractor immediately — no phone trees, no voicemail, no waiting.
We follow up on every job. If something isn't right, tell us. We'll work with the contractor to resolve it, and their quality score takes a hit. Repeated issues may result in revocation. Our contractors know this — which is why they show up on time, do honest work, and treat your home with respect.
For emergencies, same-day service is the standard. For routine work, most contractors can schedule within 1–3 business days depending on the job and your location. When you submit a request, we'll confirm timing before anyone shows up — no surprises.
No. This is the biggest complaint with other services and the reason we exist. Your information goes to one certified contractor — not a list of companies racing to call you first. One contractor calls, you schedule, the job gets done. That's it. No unwanted spam, no calls from companies you never contacted. We do not sell your information — ever. We may send occasional helpful reminders like seasonal or weather action alerts, but only with your permission and you can opt out anytime.
Stop Googling. Start getting help from a contractor who's earned their certification.
