Independent specialists — Florida
Work with Nexta in South Florida Built-in refrigeration and premium coffee machines
You do the repair. We do everything that isn't.
Ads, phone, photos, model labels, price talk, no-shows — ours.
Diagnosis, the price on site, the work, the money in your hand — yours.
What do you work on, and which county?
What you keep
Paid the day you do the job, cash or card, from the customer's hand. Not next Friday. Not after we clear it. We never touch your money — there is nothing for us to hold.
You keep $450 of a $950 job. Parts at your cost on top — parts are never split.
- Built-in fridge, sealed system — $950 ticket · $50 part → $450 to you
- Jura super-automatic, brew unit — $850 ticket · $40 part → $405 to you
- Sub-Zero compressor replacement — $1,900 ticket · $450 part → $725 to you
Service call: $89 on coffee machines, $129 on built-in refrigeration.
Decline: the service call is yours in full — it covers the empty run.
Repair goes ahead: it folds into the ticket and splits 50/50 with the rest.
Three jobs cover a professional tool set and every piece of paper you need to start.
Mix of what we actually run — built-in refrigeration, premium coffee and compressor work on Sub-Zero and Thermador. Not a promise, our own numbers.
Other technicians already work this way. Take a job and see.
Why these calls aren't empty
The usual run: you drive out blind, open it up, name a price — and hear "I'll think about it."
An empty run isn't gas money. It's the slot where a $400 job could have been. Two of those a week and you worked a month of Saturdays for free.
Shared leads run $10–40 and get sold to four contractors. Exclusive ones $30–80. We buy ours and hand them to one technician. You never see that bill.
Tell me your ZIPs and I point the campaign at them. Your zone, your specialty — that's what the ads run for.
Here you get the fault, the photos, the model label and the address — and a customer who already knows the range and said yes to it.
You're not selling the price at the door. It was sold before you got there.
You name the final price on site, once you've opened it up. That part is yours.
You're not doing this alone
Estanislao
I started with one job and my own tools. Then I stopped keeping up and began passing jobs to other guys. Four markets and thirty-one people later, you still get me in this chat.
Two of them run whole trades now — coffee machines and handyman work. Both came in as ordinary hires, same as I did.
Setting up solo for the first time? I walk you through it in order — filing, county receipt, insurance, EPA 608 — one step at a time. Nothing you have to piece together from a government website at midnight.
Once your paperwork is done, you're in the chat with the rest of our technicians. Sub-Zero sealed systems, Jura brew groups, columns most shops turn away — someone in there has already been inside the one you're looking at. That's not support hours. That's people who do this every day.
Stuck on a machine? You call, and I put you on the phone with a technician who has already opened that model. Same machines, same faults — a Thermador column in Coral Gables is a Thermador column in Beverly Hills.
When a job fits, you agree the window with the customer and run it on your terms.
First job with us, I stay on the line. After that, only when you want me.
What you need to start in Florida
Florida is easier than most states — there is no state license for home appliance repair. An LLC, a county business tax receipt and liability insurance, and you're working.
Your county changes what's on the list. Open it below, or ask us in chat and we'll send yours.
The full list, county by county
- LLC or DBA through Sunbiz + EIN
- Local business tax receipt in your county — $30–150/year, renews around Sept 30. Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach each run their own rules; inside a city you may need both county and city.
- General liability insurance, about $800/year
- EPA 608 if you touch refrigerant — federal, does not expire
- Sales tax registration if you sell parts
- Hardwired and gas connections need a contractor licence — appliance repair itself does not.
County and sales-tax rules vary. Confirm figures with a Florida accountant or attorney before you file — especially sales tax on parts and Miami-Dade county requirements.
Air conditioning, HVAC and commercial refrigeration
We take HVAC in Florida. The state does gate it, so here is the real list:
- DBPR Class A (unlimited) or Class B (up to 25 tons cooling / 500,000 BTU heating)
- Four years of experience, at least one of them supervisory
- Two exams — Business & Finance (120 questions) and Trade Knowledge (130), 70% to pass
- General liability $100,000 and property damage $25,000
- Workers' comp or a filed exemption
The same licence covers commercial refrigeration — walk-ins, reach-ins, prep tables and ice machines. Already hold it? That opens the highest tickets we run.
FICO under 660? There's a way in that doesn't use your score. Ask us how.

Outside this cluster we won't offer you work.
Rules don't change retroactively
- 50/50 from job one.
- No entry fee. No lead fee.
- There's no tier to lose, because there are no tiers. Fifty is fifty, from job one to job five hundred.
- Changes only move forward, with notice ahead of time.
- We keep the number of technicians per city low on purpose. The work in your ZIPs is finite — spread it thin and nobody makes money on it.
