How does Greybough vet Florida CAPS pros?

Greybough confirms the firm’s NAHB Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) credential and reviews relevant aging-in-place or senior-friendly remodeling experience before adding a company to the Florida directory. A CAPS credential describes specialized training; it does not replace Florida contractor licensing, insurance, permits, or the local code official’s review.

How can I verify a Florida contractor license?

Use the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s license search to check the contractor or business before signing a contract. Confirm the license status, the qualifier or business name, the scope that matches the work, and any local registration or insurance requirements that apply to the property. Greybough’s editorial review is not a substitute for your own license check.

Will an aging-in-place project need a Florida building permit?

It depends on the scope and the local jurisdiction. Ask the city or county building department before work begins, especially for structural changes, plumbing or electrical work, ramps, doorway changes, flood-zone concerns, or a bathroom layout change. A CAPS pro can help describe the work, but a credential does not waive a permit or inspection requirement.

Which Florida code and accessibility rules apply to the work?

The Florida Building Code provides the statewide code framework, while local building departments review permits, inspections, and property-specific conditions. Ask the local code official and the contractor which edition, local amendments, flood-zone provisions, accessibility provisions, and inspection steps apply to the proposed project before treating an estimate as final.

How does Florida ZIP routing work when no firm is listed nearby?

Submit the household’s ZIP, phone number, and project type through the Florida Family Quote form. Greybough routes the brief to a local CAPS specialist only when an approved firm and an explicit county rule are available; otherwise the request remains with the company inbox for human follow-up. A coverage region is planning guidance, not a promise that every Florida ZIP already has a listed firm.

The current directory

Florida pros, hand-vetted.

Each pro is CAPS-credentialed (NAHB) and vetted through prior walk-in work in the Gulf Coast communities. Current directory coverage includes reviewed Florida counties. Click into any profile to read the bio, the services offered, and the contact CTA.

Florida coverage

Two live Gulf Coast footprints, plus a Florida-wide request path.

The directory names actual reviewed counties; it does not imply statewide contractor availability. If the home is outside the live list, the ZIP still gives the editor a precise starting point for a Florida family referral.

Pinellas County
St. Petersburg, Seminole, Clearwater, and the barrier islands
This is one of the current Florida directory footprints. Include the property ZIP and the mobility or bathroom problem so the referral starts with the right Gulf Coast service area.
Lee County
Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Sanibel, Bonita Springs, and nearby communities
Lee County is the second current directory footprint. A ZIP-scoped request helps separate an address a reviewed pro can actually reach from a general Southwest Florida inquiry.
Elsewhere in Florida
A statewide ZIP-scoped referral path beyond the listed counties
The public directory only shows counties with reviewed firms today. Families outside Pinellas or Lee can still submit a Florida Family Quote request; Greybough keeps the brief for human follow-up when no explicit local match is available.

Florida licensing & referral FAQ

What to verify before work begins.

CAPS training helps a contractor plan for safer homes. Florida licensing, permits, inspections, and local code decisions still belong with the contractor and the public building department.
