People’s Trust wins Florida appeal in managed repair dispute with homeowners
On appeal, the Second District reversed. The court held that the relevant statute – section 489.113, Florida Statutes – does not prohibit a general contractor from managing roofing repairs, as long as the actual roofing work is subcontracted to licensed roofers. That interpretation, the court emphasized, had already been adopted by the Fourth District in People’s Trust Insurance Co. v. Lamolli, a 2022 case involving the same contractor and insurer.
