Discover our five points of quality Five Star Rated is different from the average home services guide. We do the research for you and focus on the truly important things you need to feel confident in your selection. Each Five Star Rated company is measured against our five points of quality, and only those who meet our qualification standards earn the privilege of being listed in this guidebook.

State Corporation Search We confirm that all selected companies structured as S Corporations, C Corporations, or Limited Liability Companies have a current and active record in compliance with the state. The one exception would be sole proprietorships not required to register with the state.

Business Credit Reports We generate a credit report on every new company considered for participation. We look for basic but critical company information including but not limited to bankruptcy history, liens or judgments history, a credit history score, and charting histories, which may indicate the level of operational stability of the company.

Professional Trade and/or State Licenses We verify that each company listed is licensed per state requirements for the trade they are practicing business in. In some states, a license is not needed unless the contractor is working in two or more fields as defined by the state.

State-Required Insurance All featured companies must carry General Liability and Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the state.

Customer Reviews We quality-check every company’s performance with their customers by conducting in-house customer satisfaction surveying or analyzing their prior three years of Google reviews. Companies can use our survey feedback to learn about their performance.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold an Air Conditioning Contractor or Mechanical Contractor License issued by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Air conditioning and heating services • Equipment repair and replacement • System troubleshooting • Refrigerant recharging or refilling • HVAC system and equipment installation • Maintenance agreements (typically for two maintenance visits per year, spring and fall) • Thermostats • Furnaces • Humidifiers and dehumidifiers

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Maintenance is key to ensuring that your system does not fail at a crucial time of year, when temperatures are very hot or cold. Ask if the company offers maintenance plans, and if so, find out what is included.

Typically, an HVAC maintenance plan includes two maintenance appointments per year, one in the spring and one in the fall. There are often additional perks and services in the plan as well.

2. Programmable thermostats can help you save money on your energy bill. If no one is home during the day, thermostats can be set to automatically adjust the temperature to use less energy while the house is empty.

3. The right HVAC system size is key to efficiently cooling and heating your home.

4. Inquire about how the company handles billing. Can you pay online, over the phone, or by check?

5. Ask for information regarding the warranties offered by the company on the services they offer, including both repair and installation work. Get all warranty information in writing.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold an Air Conditioning Contractor or Mechanical Contractor License issued by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Duct cleaning • Duct sanitization • Duct sealing • Duct insulation • Duct replacement • Indoor air quality solutions • Dryer vent cleaning and repair • HVAC system component cleaning • Duct leakage testing and repairs • Filtration evaluation and upgrades

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Duct cleaning frequency depends on your needs and preferences. If your air duct supply and return vents look dirty, the inside of the system is probably dirty too.

2. Home remodeling projects often produce a lot of dust and debris, which can get into the duct system because of the static pressure airflow from return air to supply air duct lines. It’s a good idea to schedule duct cleaning after a home renovation project.

3. Duct cleaning involves cleaning various HVAC system components, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor, fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.

4. If your heating and cooling bills rose significantly compared to the same time last year, your air ducts could be clogged or leaking.

5. If mold is found in your ductwork and HVAC system, hire a pro to clean the entire system and ductwork to remove the mold and prevent mold from growing back.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Foundation repair • Pier systems • Wall anchor systems • Crawl space repair and encapsulation • Basement waterproofing • Moisture control service • Foundation drainage systems • Concrete lifting and leveling

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Signs of foundation damage include vertical and horizontal cracks in foundation walls, drywall cracks near doors and windows, unlevel floors, windows or doors sticking, cracks in exterior brick veneer, settled or uneven basement floors, and cracks in garage slabs.

2. The following conditions can cause foundations to settle, crack, and bow: extremely dry weather, which causes the soil to shrink and contract; and wet weather, which causes the soil to expand and create pressure.

3. A leaking, cracked, or otherwise compromised foundation will devalue your home. If your home shows signs of cracking, settling, or leaking, your best course of action will be to repair the foundation to protect and ensure the value of your home.

4. Foundation inspections should include a digital elevation survey and a discussion of the causes of the foundation problems.

5. Discuss preventative measures such as root barriers, proper drainage and grading, and moisture maintenance with your contractor.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Garage door installation, replacement, and repair • Routine garage door maintenance • Garage door opener installation, repair, replacement, and programming • Repair and replacement of springs, rollers, and cables • New garage door sales and installation • Electric gates and openers

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Garage door systems include either torsion or extension springs above the garage door. If a spring breaks, the door is no longer properly supported and can be difficult or impossible to lift. Working with garage door springs is very dangerous and should only be done by experts.

2. Garage door components and products can vary greatly. Learn about the performance differences of various options, and look for value rather than the lowest price.

3. If you hear grinding noises when using your garage door, you should stop the garage door opener or stop attempting to open or close it, if operating by hand.

Call a professional garage door repair company to investigate.

4. Regular maintenance is key to a properly and safely operating garage door. On a regular basis, visually inspect the garage door system, including the springs, cables, pulleys, rollers, and hardware for signs of damage or wear.

5. Steel is one of the most popular materials for garage doors, but other options include wood, aluminum, fiberglass, and vinyl.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Gutter installation and replacement • Gutter cover installation • Gutter guard installation • Downspout installation and replacement • Specialty accessories and product options, such as ice reduction systems for gutters, downspout extenders, rain chains, splash blocks, and extended gutter and downspout diameter options

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home, protecting the soil, foundation, roof, and siding.

Faulty, damaged, or improperly installed gutters can lead to basement water damage, foundation issues, soil erosion, roof leaks, and other problems.

2. When gutters are clogged, the rainwater runoff over the gutters can cause soil erosion around the foundation and contribute to potential foundation and waterproofing problems.

3. Gutters that have no gutter cover system installed can sag or pull away from the roof due to the weight from clogs and debris buildup.

4. Don’t wait until you have overflowing gutters or water intrusion to have your gutters replaced. This can lead to expensive repairs, most notably wood rot repair, house foundation issues, and possible termite damage.

5. Gutters come in different shapes and sizes. K-style is the most common gutter shape, and box gutters and half-round gutters are also available. Typically, gutters come in five- and six-inch sizes.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold a Contractor License issued by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Hurricane shutter sales and installation • Accordion- and awning-style hurricane shutters • Bahama-style hurricane shutters • Motorized, manual, and rolldown hurricane shutters

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Hurricane shutters protect windows and doors from storm debris and help prevent shattered glass. In hurricane-force winds, a broken window can create a pressure imbalance in the house, which increases the risk of structural damage.

2. Shutter types vary from rolldown and accordion style to Bahama and awning style. Accordion, awning, and storm panel shutters are usually made of aluminum or steel. Bahama shutters come in metal and wood options.

3. Ideally, hurricane shutters should be a permanent part of the house. Temporary, removable shutters can take several hours to put up, and you may not have that kind of time with a rapidly approaching storm.

4. Have your shutters inspected annually to make sure they’re mechanically sound and will work when you need them.

5. Temporary hurricane shutters should not be left up all year because they present a safety hazard once the storm has passed. Permanent shutters that roll down when you need them are the safer option.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Kitchen remodeling and renovation • Cabinet replacement and refacing • Countertop replacement • Flooring replacement • Tile backsplash installation and replacement

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Request written estimates from several kitchen remodeling firms. This will help you choose the best contractor for your project.

2. Remodeling your kitchen is a great opportunity to make the space more functional. Take some time to think about your needs and wants for the new space.

Talk to your contractor about options that will fit your budget.

3. Depending on the work being done, your kitchen may be unusable at times. Plan ahead and set up a temporary food station in a different room. A microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge can make it easier to get by for a few days.

4. Ask your contractor about warranties and guarantees on materials and workmanship. The specifics may vary for different products, so be sure to get the details of each warranty or guarantee in writing.

5. Keep the lines of communication open throughout the project. Don’t be hesitant about asking questions or voicing concerns. Changes are much easier to make during the project than afterward.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Find out what the scheduled tasks are for initial cleaning and for regular service, and be sure to also ask who will provide the cleaning supplies and any equipment the team will need.

2. Ask about the cleaning products used by the company. Make sure products are safe for children and pets. If the company uses green cleaning products, find out what agency has certified the products as eco-friendly.

3. Ask the company if they offer any guarantees on their cleaning services. Some companies will return to reclean any areas if the initial work was not performed to the agreed-upon terms and conditions of a service agreement or to the customer’s satisfaction.

4. To get an accurate quote, homeowners should meet with the cleaning company in their homes and be as specific as possible about expectations, which rooms should be cleaned, and how often cleaning services will be needed.

5. Verify that cleaning service providers are employees of the company rather than independent contractors.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Florida does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Make sure the job will include the proper prep work.

Good prep work will result in a longer-lasting paint job. Primer and paint should be applied to clean, smooth surfaces.

2. Make sure that the estimates you consider are in writing and include the same scope of work and materials so you can compare apples to apples.

Check the quality of the paint included in the estimate and the number of coats proposed.

3. Choose a paint sheen that fits the space being painted. Shinier paint finishes have more durability and are easy to clean. High gloss is suitable for kitchens, window trim, and doors. Semi-gloss finishes are good for kitchens, trim, and bathrooms. Eggshell works well in dining and living spaces, and matte finishes are suitable for low-traffic areas such as bedrooms.

4. If you are not sure what color or colors you want to use, ask for a color consultation. Your painting contractor will be able to help you choose a color or color scheme that suits your home decor.

5. Quality is key. Cheaper paints require more coats to get the same result as higher-quality paints.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Pest control services • Pest removal • Pest exclusion services and repairs • Scheduled pest treatments • Termite protection • Mosquito control services • Eco-friendly options • Disinfectant services • Whole-house fumigation services

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Pest removal can be dangerous, especially if you’re dealing with stinging insects or live animals. Always call a professional to handle the issue. Be sure to find out what pests the company handles.

2. To avoid attracting pests indoors, do not let food, drinks, or pet food to sit out overnight. Also clear debris and piles of lumber from your yard, since these provide refuge for pests.

3. Not all pest control strategies involve chemicals; traps, repairs, and natural pesticides are options used by many pest control companies.

4. Ask the pest control company what methods are used to remove or control pest issues and if they use ecofriendly or pet- and child-safe pest control products.

5. Once the pests have been removed, seal the entry points they used so more pests do not enter the home. Your pest control technician should perform an inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent re-entry of other unwanted pests in the future.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold a Pool/Spa Contractor License or General Contractor License issued by the state of Florida.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. There are many design options for swimming pools.

Do some research to determine your preferences, and ask to see project portfolios from pool design and build contractors you are considering.

2. Consider how you want to use your new or remodeled pool. A renovation is a great time to add a sun shelf, hot tub, or other feature.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Swimming pool design and construction • Existing pool renovation • Pool deck and coping remodeling and resurfacing • Pool enclosures • Pool equipment installation • Repair services for filters, pumps, motors, heaters, and automation systems • Spa additions • Hot tub installation • Outdoor living space design and construction

3. Communicate often with your pool builder during your project. If you have any questions or concerns, communicate them. It is better to handle issues while materials, tools, and labor are readily available, and it could give you the end result you desire with less cost involved.

4. Pool construction and remodeling projects take time.

Discuss the timeline with your contractor and plan accordingly. Don’t schedule backyard events until after the project is complete.

5. Remodeling involves draining the pool, chipping out the pool’s surface and priming it, applying tile, plastering and pebbling the surface, and refilling the pool. Once the pool is refilled, the chemical startup can begin.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Florida does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Counties and cities in Florida may require local licensing for specialty work.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Pressure washing • House washing • Deck cleaning • Driveway cleaning • Patio cleaning • Pool deck cleaning • Interior window cleaning • Exterior window cleaning • Low-pressure roof cleaning • Lanai and pool enclosure cleaning • Concrete, masonry, and stone cleaning and sealing

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Ask about the specific cleaning solutions available for your project. You may want to request the most ecofriendly option, since it will end up in and around your plants and landscaping.

2. Ask the contractor about the amount of pressure that will be used for your job. Too much pressure can damage your siding, concrete, windows, fascia, or roofing.

3. Always verify any state-required workers’ compensation and general liability insurance before contracting with a pressure washing company. The workers will likely be working at dangerous heights and positions on or around your home, so insurance coverage is essential.

4. If your home’s siding, exterior trim, deck, and other surfaces were painted before 1978 and are now peeling, they should not be pressure washed. Paint used prior to 1978 could contain lead.

5. For traditionally seasonal tasks, like pressure washing, consider scheduling your services anytime but the busiest times of year. You might even receive special pricing when the company’s personnel capacity is not maxed out.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Florida does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Counties and cities in Florida may require local licensing for specialty work.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Roof cleaning • Soft washing • Roof sealing • Pressure washing

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Roof washing removes debris, grime, and organic growth from your roof. Algae, lichen, and moss growing on your roof can cause the roofing material to deteriorate over time. This deterioration means that you might need a new roof earlier than you anticipated.

2. Regular roof cleanings once or twice a year keeps your roof in good condition, preventing the need for more drastic cleaning.

3. If not done correctly, pressure washing can damage your roof. It is important to hire an experienced professional roof cleaning contractor who will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to do the job right.

4. Ask about cleaning solution options. You may want to use the most environmentally friendly options available, as these solutions will end up in or around your yard and landscaping.

5. Always verify any state-required workers’ compensation and liability insurance before contracting with a roof washing company, whose workers will be working at dangerous heights and positions on or around your home.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Roof installation and replacement • Roof repair and maintenance • Fascia and soffit repair • Roof inspections • Storm damage assessments • Asphalt shingle roofs • Metal roofs • Tile roofs • Flat roofs

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Hire a roofing installation and repair company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers that provide extended warranties on their products.

2. Weather is a factor when replacing your roof. Ask the contractor to explain their procedure if stormy weather were to approach in the middle of the removal or installation of your roof.

3. Roof ventilation is critical. Without proper roof ventilation, hot air will become trapped in your attic and cause your HVAC system to work overtime. Roof replacement is the perfect time to improve inadequate ventilation.

4. Most roof leaks are caused by flashing that has failed or been improperly installed around chimneys, vent pipes, and skylights.

5. To protect your roof, try to minimize roof traffic.

Sometimes other contractors may damage roofs while working on them. For example, do not allow a cleaning contractor to use any type of bracing on pitched roofs where they might nail into your roof, therefore compromising your roof with a puncture through the protective roofing barrier.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Siding installation • Siding replacement • Vinyl and insulated vinyl siding • Fiber cement siding • Engineered wood siding • Cedar siding • Exterior home remodeling and renovation

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Signs that you need to replace your siding include warped planks, rotten areas, holes, bubbling paint, and persistent mold or mildew growth.

2. Before contacting a contractor to discuss your siding job, think about what type of siding product you would like for your home. For inspiration, look at the types and styles of siding traditionally used in your neighborhood or city. You can also visit home centers and look through the siding materials on display.

3. Find out if your homeowners’ association has restrictions on siding materials, styles, and colors. The homeowners’ association may also have guidelines about remodeling projects that you and the contractor will need to follow.

4. Hire a siding company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers with extended warranties.

5. Siding installation involves hammering and nailing and can be a little disruptive. Before your siding project begins, take down art and wall hangings from interior walls and move furniture away from the walls.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold an Electrical Contractor License or a Certified Solar Contractor license issued by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers:

Common Services & Products Provided: • Solar panel system design • Solar panel system installation • Solar batteries • Real-time solar panel system monitoring

3. When your solar panel system produces a surplus of energy, that extra electricity feeds back into the municipal grid. Net metering, also called utility buyback, is an arrangement that credits you for the retail value of the surplus electricity generated by your solar panel system. Check on your state’s specific policies regarding net metering.

1. Opting for a solar panel system can save you anywhere from 20 to 100 percent on your electricity costs compared to traditional power sources.

2. The design and size of a solar panel system is largely dependent on the space you have available for solar panels. You will also need to think about how much energy you need the system to generate.

4. You may be able to receive Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) after your system is installed and producing energy. Ask your solar panel system installer whether you’re eligible.

5. Your state may offer other financial incentives for solar panel system installations, such as property tax breaks or exemptions and/or sales and use tax waivers.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Before investing in a whole-house water treatment or filtration system, your water should first be tested.

The quantity and the quality of the sediment in your water supply should be considered when purchasing a whole-home water filter system.

2. The life of the filter is determined by the amount of water that it can filter before being replaced. The longevity of the filter is also affected by the state of water you plan to filter.

3. If water pressure is reduced, you may have waited too long between filter changes. Keep records of filter changes so you can maintain a regular replacement schedule.

4. Depending on the size of your family, the number of water dispensers, and the flow rate of each dispenser, a professional can help you calculate the right flow rate that your filter system should have.

5. A whole-home water filtration system with a flow rate lower than the required rate would mean interrupted water flow and low water pressure, especially during peak use.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Florida does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Counties and cities in Florida may require local licensing for specialty work.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Animal control services • Wildlife removal • Wildlife management • Exclusion services and repairs • Removal and control of birds, rats, squirrels, snakes, bats, opossums, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, foxes, gophers, and more • Dead animal removal • Space deodorization • Insulation removal and replacement • General pest control

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Wildlife removal can be dangerous, so don’t try to take care of the problem by yourself. Always call a professional to handle the issue. They have the knowledge, equipment, and protective gear to do the job safely.

2. Be sure to find out what animals the company handles and ask if they provide emergency animal removal service.

3. Not all wildlife removal and pest control strategies involve chemicals; traps, exclusion repairs, and natural pesticides are more humane options used by many animal control companies.

4. Ask the wildlife control company what methods are used to remove or control animal issues and if they use eco-friendly or pet- and child-safe products.

5. Once the animal has been removed, it is important to seal the entry points they used so more pests do not enter the home. These exclusion repairs are essential to resolving the problem. Your technician should perform an inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent re-entry of other unwanted pests in the future.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. If you have a limited budget, consider replacing the windows on your upper floors first.

2. Ask your contractor about the differences between wood, vinyl, or aluminum cladding for your windows and doors.

3. Adding weather stripping around windows and doors has a big impact on drafts and energy conservation.

Caulking door thresholds and windows and adding plastic window film can save you money in the winter.

4. Windows and doors are the areas of greatest energy loss in a home. By installing new windows and doors, it may be possible to increase energy efficiency in your home by up to 70 percent. Ask your contractor which manufacturers and/or brands they recommend and why.

5. A small deposit is reasonable for custom-order materials, such as custom-sized windows, as they will only work in each individual home and ensures a commitment to the contractor that you will complete the project and that the contractor will not be left with a warehouse full of custom materials.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Florida does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Counties and cities in Florida may require local licensing for specialty work.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Ask the contractor about the specific cleaning solutions available for your project. You may want to request the most eco-friendly option, since it will end up in and around your plants and landscaping.

2. Ask the contractor about the amount of pressure that will be used for your job. Too much pressure can harm your siding, concrete, windows, fascia, or roofing.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Interior window cleaning • Exterior window cleaning • Pressure washing • Low- and high-pressure home exterior cleaning

3. Always verify any state-required workers’ compensation and liability insurance before contracting with a pressure washing and window cleaning company, whose workers will likely be working at dangerous heights and positions on or around your home.

4. Regular professional window cleaning helps prevent your windows from becoming etched or pitted over time.

5. For traditionally seasonal business, like window cleaning, consider scheduling your services anytime but the busiest times of year to receive special pricing when the company personnel capacity is not maxed out.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

How to Pick A Great Home Services Provider

Regular maintenance is a reality of home ownership. And while you might be able to handle some things on your own, other tasks are best left to the pros. But finding reliable help when you need it is easier said than done.

Check out our simple tips for finding the best service professional for any home-related need.

Ask for recommendations.

The easiest way to start is to ask neighbors, family members, and friends for their recommendations. Word-of-mouth recommendations speak volumes about a company’s work and reputation. After all, you’re hearing from people with first-hand experience!

Search social media.

Social media sites shouldn’t be your only source of information when it comes to finding a good contractor, but they can be a valuable resource.

Search for the companies on your list and check their social media feeds for customer testimonials. You might also find photographs of the company’s workmanship.

Research your choices.

Look online for the following about each contractor on your list: • • •

Qualifications Certifications Licenses and bonding

• • •

Insurance Areas of specialization Professionalism

•

Assurance & guarantees

Most of this information is available online, usually on the company’s website. For details you can’t immediately locate, a quick phone call can usually help fill in any gaps.

Use a verified directory and online reviews.

Look for unbiased customer reviews in independent business directories like Five Star Rated.

Online home improvement forums and review websites are helpful, too.

Avoid sites that let companies buy highly rated reviews. This practice is unethical, but it does happen. Watch for several extremely positive reviews posted on the same day following a negative review. Lots of good reviews that sound similar are also a red flag.

Doing all of this takes time, but when you’re planning a home improvement project, it’s well worth it. But if you’re in a time crunch, a trusted company directory like Five Star Rated is priceless.

With a verified company directory, you have all the information you need to make an informed decision at a glance: the company’s contact information, the services they offer, and testimonials from verified customers.
