Altamonte Springs, FL asked in Construction Law for Florida

Q: How long does a contractor have to complete a job in Florida?

We signed a contract in late 2019 for a bathroom remodel. We paid a lot up front. They promised the job would be done within 6 weeks. They demolished the bathroom months ago and still haven’t gotten a permit approved, 9 months later, due to their errors.

Edited to answer question: At the time the contract was signed, they presented a document that entitled, “What to Expect”, which was signed by both parties, and stated the project would take 4-6 weeks. The contract itself only lists the work to be done and no end date.
