Use the same questions with every firm. The list does not rank companies.
License: Florida certified or registered general contractor, and the license matches the company that would sign the contract.
Insurance: general liability and workers’ compensation at the limits your landlord requires.
Similar work: finished interiors of a similar size, not a logo on a photo you cannot place.
References: owners or landlords who will talk about schedule and changes.
The bid: what is included, what is excluded, and how a change is priced.
Red flags: a price with no drawings, a promise of a permit date the city has not given, or pressure to skip landlord approval.
