THE IMPORTANCE OF A GLASS AND GLAZING LICENSE TO INSTALL SHOWER DOORS
As a homeowner, it is important to be informed about licensing requirements when you welcome someone into your home to perform physical work. State and county licensing agencies exist to regulate specific industries and ensure individuals or companies who perform certain types of work in someone’s home meet the proper requirements to do so. This is not only a protection for consumers, but it also ensures these individuals and companies are following proper business practices and staying up to date with new code requirements.

When it comes to shower doors, a plethora of individuals and companies advertise their services on social media and across the internet. One of the first things you should consider is whether they are licensed to perform shower door installation services. In Florida, there are different requirements for different counties for Glass and Glazing licenses. For example, Lee and Collier County require anyone who installs shower doors to hold a specialty glass and glazing license. However, Orange County does not have this requirement. There is currently legislation being discussed to implement a state-wide Glass and Glazing license requirement, rather than having separate county-specific regulations. For those in the business who understand the importance of being licensed in your trade, this is an overdue discussion. For the others, who are putting homeowners at risk day in and day out, they are surely looking for ways to continue to skirt the rules and keep all liability on the homeowner.
In order to obtain a Glass and Glazing license, there are quite a few requirements. You must pass both a financial and criminal background check in addition to passing both a business law and glass and glazing test, which are required to be renewed every two years.
If a business has a license, you will likely see their license number displayed on any advertisement of their services. Even if you see a license number displayed, it is always a good idea to verify that the license number is valid. This can be done by simply visiting www.MyFloridaLicense.com
If you do not see a license number or a “contractor” is having trouble providing you with their number, BEWARE.
