I am a licensed GC in California. Just moved to Florida, can you help get my license here.?
FloridaHIred a supposed electrician in Texas to wire up my swim spa. He said he was a master electrician; he didn't even have a license. He used the wrong size wire, hooked the spa directly to the pole box without a GFI switch or disconnect box and buried the wire in exterior piping not specified to underground. We had to hire another electrical company to totally redo all the work. He won't give us our money back and he could have actually electrocuted someone. What can I expect the conseuqences or penalties incurred by the TDLR and the prosecutor? Could I get my money back?

FloridaSo I’m sub contracting for a company. I’m preping the area for them to come through and do their thing. They asked me to add a small room, 2 walls and an exterior door. I mentioned pulling a permit for it and I’ve been asked not to pull a permit. I also mentioned the liability aspect. The project manager then told me since I don’t have a contractors license, I’m not liable if anything was to go wrong. I’m in Houston texas and I Don’t want to make a bad decision not fully understanding what I’m risking.
TexasWe are about to sign a Master Service Agreement with one of our major customers who have projects for us nationwide. We want to make sure we have our rear-end covered in terms of collections. So I want to double-check on the subject of lien rights in different states so that we can get ourselves protected just in case our general contractor becomes insolvent.
Long story short, we currently only have a license in California, and typically for the projects that we are doing in other states, we would pull permits from this General Contractor, who has a license in all 50 states. Partnering with them would provide us with a tremendous amount of opportunity. My question is that, knowing that we don't have licenses in all 50 states, would it automatically forfeit our rights to file a mechanics lien in an event where the General Contractor goes under? Do we still have the ability to collect funds from the end customer? Maybe it is a state-by-state case? If so, which are the states we need to keep an eye on? And which states we can still file a mechanics lien, knowing that we don't have a license in those states?
