Drywall Subcontractors in Miami (Miami-Dade County), FL

Level 4 is the standard assumption for typical wall finishes under flat or eggshell paint. Level 5 — a thin skim coat over the entire surface — is called out where critical lighting or gloss paints will make tool marks visible. A drywall RFQ should name the level of finish per area; if the spec is silent, most subs will price Level 4 and note the exclusion.

It varies by job. On a commercial build, blocking for casework, grab bars, TVs, and wall-mounted equipment is sometimes carried by the framer, sometimes by the drywall sub, and sometimes by the GC as a self-perform item. A clear inclusion or exclusion line in the RFQ — and a matching line in the bid — avoids the most common scope gap between drywall and the trades that follow.

Often yes when sound-rated partitions are involved, since the insulation has to be in place before the second side of board is hung. The RFQ should state whether acoustic batt insulation, acoustic sealant at the perimeter, and fire-stopping at penetrations are in the drywall sub's scope or carried by the insulation or fire-stop sub. Expect bids to call this out either way.

Rated walls and shafts are priced to the UL or equivalent assembly called on the drawings — that listing controls the stud spacing, board layers, fastener pattern, and joint treatment. The drywall sub is responsible for building to the listed assembly and for the fire-rated joint and penetration details on their portion of the work. GCs typically want assembly numbers confirmed in the bid.

The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a drywall sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
