Your Options If You Already Hired an Unlicensed Contractor in Florence

Hiring someone who never held a license does not leave you with nothing. Boone County small claims court lets you sue for the money you lost, and you can file the papers without a lawyer. The county building office can flag a job that was done with no permit pulled. The Kentucky Attorney General takes consumer complaints online. Save every text, invoice, and photo of the site, because that pile of paper is what wins. A lot of the Florence trouble on this page began as ordinary repair work.

Watch the deposit. A real licensed crew in Kentucky almost never asks for half the job in cash on day one. When someone wants cash up front, offers no written contract, and cannot hand you a license number, stop right there. Ask for the number, then go check it yourself before you agree to a single thing.

What Florence Homeowners Keep Asking

How do I check a Kentucky contractor license?

Ask for the license number and the exact name it is filed under. Call the state board or the Boone County building office and confirm it yourself. If nothing comes back, you have your answer.

I already paid a deposit. What now?

Put your refund demand in writing and keep a copy. If the money does not come back, file in Boone County small claims court. Bring your texts, your bank record, and photos of the site.

Who else should hear about it?

Report it to the Kentucky Attorney General consumer protection office and to the local building department. Write down dates and dollar amounts. That record helps the next family in Florence.
