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.

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.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Concrete leveling and raising for driveways, sidewalks, walkways, patios, steps, and foundations • Polyurethane foam lifting • Slabjacking • Mudjacking • Foundation repair • Foundation stabilization • Piering • Crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing • Basement waterproofing systems • Foundation drainage systems

2. The processes for raising concrete by mudjacking or polyurethane injection are similar. Holes are drilled into the concrete slab, mud material or polyurethane foam is pumped under the slab, and the voids under the slab are filled, which raises the slab. The drill holes are patched with a concrete mixture to complete the process.

3. With the ability to cure in minutes, polyurethane allows for swift lifting and stabilization.

4. Uneven exterior concrete slabs should be repaired for many reasons, including convenience and safety. An even concrete slab is very important if you plan to build anything on your slab or lay down any type of outdoor tile.

5. Once the concrete has been repaired, address the underlying causes of the sinking. Drainage issues and improper land grading can lead to recurring problems.

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: • Fence design • Fence installation • Fence repair • Aluminum, chain-link, vinyl, wood, and decorative metal fences • Fence staining and sealing • Gate and access control installation

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. A fence design and installation company should first visit your property and then provide you with a written proposal. Avoid working with a company that gives estimates by phone without seeing your property first, since those types of estimates can be inaccurate.

2. Ask to see a portfolio of the fencing contractor’s work.

Viewing the contractor’s previous fencing projects provides insight into the company’s work quality and is particularly helpful in visualizing how a particular fence type will look once it is installed.

3. Ask the fencing contractor if they will obtain all necessary permits and locate utilities before the fence is constructed or if those items will be your responsibility.

4. Common fence styles include privacy fences, picket fences, post-and-rail fences, and chain-link fences. If you are not sure what type of fence you would like, ask your contractor for a recommendation.

5. Staining and sealing your fence protects it from the elements, keeps it looking nice, and lengthens its lifespan.

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.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold an Electrical Contractor License issued by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation. Gas line work requires an LP Gas Installer License issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Standby generator sales • Standby generator installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement • Generator switches and accessories • Remote generator monitoring

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Before you buy a generator, think carefully about what you’ll need to power if your electricity goes out.

That list of essential items and appliances will help you choose a generator that’s the right size for your needs.

2. A standby or whole-house generator typically uses natural gas or propane to power the engine that creates electricity. Standby generators turn on automatically when the power goes out, even if you aren’t home during the outage.

3. Whole-house generators must be professionally installed. They rely on a transfer switch that transfers electricity from the public utility to your home and back again. If this switch is incorrectly installed, electricity can backfeed into the utility lines and electrocute a utility worker.

4. Generators must be installed and used well away from covered spaces where carbon monoxide could build up. A generator professional will know the safest place for your new generator.

5. Routine maintenance ensures that your generator works when you need it. Have your standby generator serviced every 6 to 12 months.

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: • 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.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Lawn maintenance and treatments • Fertilization, including custom blends • Weed control • Pre-emergent treatments • Insect, mite, and disease control and treatments

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Caring for your lawn can be challenging. Nutrient deficiency, disease, insects, and weeds can threaten the health of your grass, but a lawn care professional can help. Before calling lawn care professionals for quotes, make a list of issues you’ve noticed and your desired outcome for lawn treatments.

2. Weed control is essential for a lush, uniform lawn.

Targeted treatments help reduce unwanted growth before it spreads and competes with your grass for nutrients and sunlight.

3. Every lawn has unique nutrient needs. Custom fertilizer blends tailored to your soil type and grass species ensure your lawn receives the ideal balance of nutrients.

4. Regular watering and soil maintenance encourage healthy root systems. Ensuring your lawn receives the right amount of moisture and nutrients helps prevent thinning.

5. Proper mowing is key to a healthy lawn. Since different grass types should be cut to different heights, consult your lawn care pro about your grass type and its ideal mowing height.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Interior and exterior painting • Color consultations • Carpentry and wood repair • Drywall repair • Cabinet painting • Faux and decorative finishes • Wallpaper installation and removal • Popcorn ceiling removal • Garage floor painting • Fence and deck painting and staining

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.

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.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Water damage restoration • Water extraction • Structural drying • Mold remediation • Smoke damage restoration • Fire damage restoration • Carpet removal and cleaning • Odor removal • Reconstruction services • Contents pack-out

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Damage from a storm, flood, or burst pipes can be dangerous and cause mold growth or structural damage. Address the problem immediately to avoid further complications. If you delay fixing the problem, insurance companies could consider this owner neglect and deny your claim.

2. It takes about three to five full days for a structure to dry, using the proper equipment. Although the affected area may seem dry, there is often hidden moisture that should be resolved before any restoration work begins.

3. Smoke damage leaves behind soot and odor. Soot must be thoroughly cleaned before a house is suitable for occupation. Odor may not be noticed until homeowners have moved back into the home.

4. Obtain a detailed written work proposal, including estimated time frames, as homeowners often have to make alternative living arrangements until the work is completed.

5. Professional restoration companies can advise homeowners on which damaged items and personal belongings can be safely restored and which items are beyond repair.

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: • 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.

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

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

4. All Five Star Rated companies must carry general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance when required by their state.

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

Common Services & Products Provided: • Whole-home water filtration system installation and maintenance • Point-of-entry systems • Point-of-use systems • Water softening and conditioning systems • Well water treatment • Salt-free systems • UV systems • Repiping services

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.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

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

Common Services & Products Provided: • Door installation and replacement • Window installation and replacement • Energy-efficient windows and doors • Impact or storm windows and doors • Vinyl, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, wood, and engineered wood windows • Sliding glass, patio, and French doors • Entryway and interior doors • Wood, insulated steel, and fiberglass doors

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.

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

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

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: • Window cleaning • Gutter cleaning • Downspout cleaning • Pressure washing • House washing • Deck cleaning • Driveway cleaning • Patio cleaning • Low-pressure roof cleaning

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. When gutters are clogged, the rainwater runoff can cause soil erosion around the home’s foundation and contribute to potential foundation and waterproofing problems.

2. When selecting a contractor for window cleaning, power washing, or gutter cleaning, ask about cleaning solution options. You may want to request an ecofriendly option since it will end up in and around your plants and landscaping.

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

4. Conduct a walk-through of your window cleaning job prior to the professional getting started. They may spot easy-to-miss basement windows or top-floor nooks that may have been omitted from the estimate.

5. For traditionally seasonal businesses like window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and pressure washing, consider scheduling your services anytime but the busiest times of year, when the company’s 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.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.
