Pay Per Lead Services in Palm Beach County, FL for General Contractors

In Palm Beach County, a lot of remodel enquiries come from owners who are not standing in the house. Census tables show 114,033 housing units sitting unoccupied out of 719,463, close to one in six (Source: censusreporter.org). That figure takes in homes listed for sale and rentals waiting on a tenant, and it also takes in places whose owners are only here for part of the year. Those owners want a builder who can walk the house for them, send photos, keep a key, and finish the kitchen before they come back.

Winter is when owners are here to decide

FSU's state climate office puts the average January afternoon south of the lake at roughly 76F, and says that from December through February the afternoon passes 75F far more often than not (Source: climatecenter.fsu.edu). Nothing about the weather stops a crew in January. What changes with the calendar is the decision-maker: owners who winter here meet contractors, compare bids and sign in the cooler months, then expect the work to run while they are away. A good Palm Beach lead often arrives in January with a start date in May.

An owners' county, from Jupiter to Boca

Of 605,430 occupied homes, owners hold 424,264, or 70.1%, and half the stock was standing by 1986 (Source: censusreporter.org). Along the coast, from Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens down through West Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Boca Raton, that means eighties houses and condos due for a full interior: kitchens, baths, flooring, impact openings. Wellington, Greenacres and Boynton Beach send the family version, a garage conversion, a bedroom added for a parent, a covered patio turned into a room.

The western edge plans for the lake

Around Lake Okeechobee, county emergency planners keep a dike-breach evacuation plan on file, however unlikely they rate that breach, with buses staged at the Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay city halls (Source: discover.pbc.gov). The Glades towns are a long drive from the coastal cities, and the work there is mostly repair on older homes. If your crew does not drive out that far, we leave those towns out of your area.

Licence number on the paperwork

Florida licenses general contractors through the DBPR's Construction Industry Licensing Board. The statute, section 489.119, wants the certificate or registration number printed on each bid, contract and ad, and the board writes up contractors who skip it before fining them (Source: flsenate.gov). Minor work under $2,500 in aggregate can be exempt from licensing, but the exemption disappears the moment someone advertises as a contractor. We found no extra county-wide contractor licence in our research; the permit comes from the building department of whichever of the 39 municipalities, or the county, holds the address.

Held back

Tenants asking about their landlord's house, owners abroad who want a ballpark figure for a house they are about to sell, decorating questions without a budget, and work for one trade alone.

The Florida rule for a general contractor taking leads in Palm Beach County: A general contractor is licensed by the DBPR Construction Industry Licensing Board as a contractor whose services are unlimited as to the type of work he or she may do (building and residential categories are limited by building type); casual or minor work under $2,500 in aggregate contract price is exempt from licensing unless the person advertises as a contractor, and the licence number must appear in advertising (s. 489.119) (Source: flsenate.gov).

Worth knowing as a general contractor buying leads in Palm Beach County: Under Florida Statutes s. 489.119(5) the certification or registration number of each contractor must appear in each offer of services, bid, contract and advertisement, and the board issues a notice of noncompliance and then fines for contractors who advertise without it (Source: flsenate.gov).
