“It has the best overall mix: a license I confirmed on the state site (CAC1814695, Current, Active, held since 2005, expires 08/31/2028), a Hollywood base on Pembroke Rd about 8 to 12 miles east of 33027, 4.9 stars from 692 reviews combined on Birdeye, and unprompted Reddit praise from a customer of 15 years.”
“It is the only company I found based inside 33027 (SW 20th St, Miramar), its license is confirmed on the state site (CAC1818232, Current, Active through 08/31/2028), county permit records show 103 permits over 18 years with local jobs through September 2026, and neighbors describe it as honest and fairly priced, though it has only a few verifiable reviews.”
“It is based on Pines Blvd in Pembroke Pines, about 3 to 6 miles away, the state site confirms owner Carlos Morales's license CAC1819405 (Current, Active since 2018) as the license behind the company, BBB has had a file on it since 2018, and Birdeye shows 5.0 from 231 reviews, though that profile is unclaimed and a perfect score deserves some caution.”
“It has strong reviews (4.8 from 586 on HomeAdvisor and 4.8 from 765 on Birdeye) and a nearby Miramar base, but I couldn't confirm its license on the state site because sources give two different numbers, and its 30-day labor warranty is short.”
“It is well vetted (Best Pick certified, 4.9 from 1,487 reviews, active license CAC053230, 1-year parts and labor warranty on repairs), but it is based in Lauderhill about 15 to 18 miles away and some reviews call it pricey or quick to recommend replacement.”
“It has a huge review base (4.9 from 3,381 on Best Pick), but it is based in Fort Lauderdale about 15 to 18 miles away and I couldn't confirm its license on the state site, where one search summary said it was inactive.”
“Its license is active, but the state lists its main address in Crystal River, about 280 miles away, and its review page shows almost no activity from 2023 to 2026, so it may no longer operate locally.”
“Its site looks like a lead-generation template, with no address or license number, review counts that differ from page to page, and stock testimonials.”
“Its homepage shows no license number, street address, or years in business, and its only rating came from a small directory, so I couldn't verify enough to recommend it.”
“I saw it only in a search snippet, and its generic city-by-ZIP marketing pages gave no license or local address to check.”
“I saw it only in a search snippet with an unverified license number and Hollywood address, weekday-only 9-to-5 hours, and marketing that suggests a call-center setup.”
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in September 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
