Replace Your Contractor and Finish Your Permit , FL | AGK Construction & Roofing
Licensed · Take over unfinished project · Inspection completed
If you need a new contractor to finish my project, this is the place to start. Whether you want to replace your contractor, replace my contractor on a stalled job, or simply understand your options, the situation is usually the same: the contractor abandoned job halfway, the contractor abandoned my job after the deposit cleared, the contractor quit, the contractor walked off the job, or the contractor disappeared. Many owners tell us they fired my contractor and now have an unfinished project and a permit that still has inspections to pass.
AGK Construction & Roofing is a licensed Florida contractor serving Miami-Dade and Broward. We take over the work, handle the change of contractor on the permit, and pass the remaining inspections. We hold five active Florida licenses: Roofing CCC-1335099, General Contractor CGC-1534839, Plumbing CFC-1434412, Glass & Glazing SCC-131153361, and Mechanical CMC-1251836, so one company can usually finish whatever trade the first contractor left behind. This page explains how it works and links to a detailed guide for each situation.
Don't Let a Stalled Job Run Out the Clock
Open roofs, open walls, and open permits all get worse with time. Permits expire, fees rise, liens can appear, and weather does damage. A free review of your project and permit tells you what is complete, what is not, and the fastest route to a closed permit.
Fired, Quit, or Disappeared: What to Do First
How to Fire a Contractor
If you are asking how to fire a contractor, start with your contract's notice and cure terms, send written notice, keep proof of delivery, and consider legal advice. Our fired or quit contractor guide walks through the steps.
How to Replace a Contractor
How to replace a contractor comes down to four moves: document the work, secure the property, review the contract, and bring in a licensed replacement who will handle the permit change.
How to Change Contractors
How to change contractors, including how to change contractors in the middle of a project, means more than hiring someone new. The permit has to move to the new contractor through a formal change of contractor.
Replace Contractor Mid-Project
To replace contractor in the middle of a project without losing your permit, get the permit record first, then file the change of contractor before any new work starts.
Contractor Quit or Walked Off
When a contractor quit or walked off the job, photograph the site, protect it from weather, gather the contract and payment records, and stop paying for work that has not been done.
Contractor Disappeared
If the contractor disappeared, keep a written record of every attempt to reach them, check their license status, and move the permit to a licensed replacement so it does not expire.
Unfinished Projects We Take Over
Finish My Project
Owners ask us to finish my project or finish unfinished project work every week. We review what is built, tell you what is usable, and finish the rest.
Unfinished Construction Project
An unfinished construction project, or an unfinished construction project new contractor takeover, starts with a site walk and a permit review so you get a fixed scope.
Unfinished Renovation or Remodel
An unfinished renovation or unfinished remodel often stops at demolition or rough-in. We verify the work, correct problems, and complete it.
Unfinished Home Addition
An unfinished home addition leaves framing and structure exposed. We check what was inspected and finish the build.
Take Over an Unfinished Project
We take over unfinished project work on every kind of job. As a contractor to take over unfinished project scopes, we handle the permit and the construction.
Finish a Job Another Contractor Started
We are the contractor to finish job another contractor started, and we routinely finish job another contractor started when the first contractor cannot or will not return. If you want to hire another contractor to finish job work, we review the project for free first.
Permits and Inspections When the Contractor Is Gone
Change Contractor on Permit
To change contractor on permit paperwork, a new licensed contractor files the city's change of contractor form with the owner's signature. See our change of contractor guide for details.
Finish Permit Inspections
You can finish permit inspections after a new contractor is added to the permit. To finish permit inspections after contractor left, the permit usually has to be moved first.
New Contractor for the Permit
A new contractor to finish permit work, or a new contractor for open permit situations, takes over as contractor of record and requests the remaining inspections.
Abandoned or Never Closed Permits
A contractor abandoned permit, a contractor never closed permit, or a previous contractor open permit is the owner's property problem, but a new contractor can resolve it.
Failed Inspections
A failed inspection need new contractor case or a failed inspection contractor left case leaves the permit stuck. A new contractor corrects the items and requests re-inspection.
Closing the Permit
To finish permit after contractor quit or close permit after contractor left, we verify the work, complete what remains, and pass the final inspection. If an open permit contractor left behind is blocking a sale, an open permit previous contractor created can often be closed quickly.
