Florida contractor software
DBPR compliant.
Florida contractors face a brutal seasonal cycle — calm late spring, hurricane prep in summer, post-storm repair surge in fall, snowbird construction in winter. The market is dominated by storm-driven roofing, water-damage restoration, and impact-window installation, plus year-round renovation work in coastal metros.
HOW DOES SENKU
HANDLE FL LICENSING?
Florida DBPR (Department of Business and Professional Regulation)
Florida requires a DBPR license for most construction trades — Certified (CGC, CBC, CRC) for statewide work, Registered for county-level only. Workers comp exemption certificates apply to many small contractors. Senku displays your DBPR license type and number on every estimate.
Settings has dedicated fields for your license number, bond information, and insurance details. Once entered, they appear on every estimate, in the customer portal footer, and on the generated PDF contract — so your customer sees the compliance posture before they have to ask.
WHAT MAKES
FL DIFFERENT?
Insurance-driven workflows
A large fraction of FL contracting work is paid through customer insurance claims. The estimate has to be detailed enough to defend in an insurance review — line items by room, with quantities and unit prices that match insurance-adjuster expectations. Senku's line-item structure was designed with insurance-claim workflows in mind from the start.
WHAT DO FL
CONTRACTORS ASK?
DOES SENKU PRODUCE ESTIMATES INSURANCE ADJUSTERS WILL ACCEPT?
Senku's line-item format follows standard insurance-claim expectations — itemized by room or area, with unit-of-measure, quantity, unit price, and total. Adjusters from State Farm, Citizens, Heritage, and the major Florida carriers handle this format. Always verify with your adjuster before relying on it for a specific claim.
CAN SENKU HANDLE THE FL WORKERS COMP EXEMPTION?
Yes. If you hold a workers comp exemption certificate (common for solo and small crews in FL), you can enter the certificate number in Settings, and it appears in the customer portal footer to satisfy the customer's due-diligence questions.
IS SENKU USABLE DURING A HURRICANE-RECOVERY SURGE?
The lead-capture quiz and AI-drafted estimates are specifically designed for the volume contractors hit post-storm. SMS estimates close 3x faster than email, which matters when 40 homeowners need an estimate by Tuesday.
DOES SENKU SUPPORT FLORIDA'S ELECTRONIC-CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS?
Yes. Florida accepts e-signatures for most contractor contracts under the Florida Electronic Signature Act. Senku's customer-portal signature pad meets the technical requirements (signer authentication via tokenized URL, intent to sign, document binding) typical Florida courts have upheld.
