What Florida homeowners should know about flooring
The median home in Florida was built in 1988, and about 34% were built before 1980. In homes of this age, the main prep questions are usually subfloor flatness and moisture in concrete slabs. Ask the installer how both are checked. Federal EPA rules require firms that disturb painted surfaces in homes built before 1978 to follow lead-safe work practices. Ask whether the company is EPA lead-safe certified.
About 6% of Florida's counties are in climate zone 1A (very hot, humid), based on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. Humidity makes wood floors swell and shrink. Ask how long the flooring will acclimate and whether concrete slabs get a moisture test. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.
Permits and contractor licensing in Florida
Replacing floor coverings usually does not need a permit, but repairing or replacing the subfloor or joists can. In Florida, building permits are issued by cities and counties, so the rules depend on where the home is. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.
The Construction Industry Licensing Board within Florida DBPR licenses contractors. Look the company up with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Construction Industry Licensing Board before you sign.
