Before you hire
Five minutes of homework, every time.
- 01
Verify the Florida license
Look it up at Pro.Miami's license verifier. Status must be Current Active.
- 02
Request a current Certificate of Insurance
From the contractor's insurance agent, not the contractor. General liability and workers comp. Have your address listed as the certificate holder.
- 03
Get scope and price in writing
Before any work or payment. Florida law caps deposits at 10 percent of the contract for licensed jobs (FS 489).
- 04
Get at least two side-by-side quotes
Same scope, same equipment tier, same warranty terms. Compare like-for-like so you know what is actually fair.
- 05
Check HVHZ approvals
If you are getting a roof, windows, doors, soffits, or hurricane shutters, all materials need NOAs. HVHZ guide.
Frequently asked questions
Why use Pro.Miami instead of calling generator installers myself?▾
One request lets interested Miami-Dade generator installers respond to the same job description. Compare written scope, materials, exclusions, timing, and total price side by side. Multiple quotes can help you understand your options, but responses and savings are not guaranteed.
How much does generator work cost in Miami?▾
Pricing depends on the job, property condition, materials, access, and contractor. Ask for itemized written quotes covering the same scope, including permit responsibilities, exclusions, and payment terms. A lower headline price alone does not establish better value.
How do I pick the right generator contractor?▾
Pro.Miami is a directory and lead-routing service. We do not screen, verify, license, or insure contractors. Before hiring anyone, look up their Florida contractor license on Pro.Miami's license verifier, request a current certificate of insurance, get scope and price in writing, and check independent reviews. Hiring decisions and contracts are entirely between you and the contractor.
