About to hire a painter

FloridaLicensesLien WaiversNotice of Commencement

Need to hire a painter in Aventura, FL (the city has its own requirements, but for now I want to know at least the state requirements). I got two quotes one for $2,000 and one for $3,100. However the more expensive one can start immediately (I am pressed on time). Do I have to deal with any permits, NOC, etc. just for a paint job for the walls of my condo? If a painter is not licensed, is that a problem or do I need to look for licensed ones?

As a practical matter on a residential condo job, if this is interior paint, the chances of there being a problem with no NOC and no permit or license is slim. There is no state licensure for painters. If it’s exterior walls, then you have an issue with the condo association possibly. If you ask the painter to show you receipts proving he paid for the paint, and ask for an affidavit he paid all his bills, you should be ok.
