38 Florida-licensed drywall subcontractors serve Port Charlotte (Charlotte County). Browse the listings below — phone, website, and license are on every profile, so you can reach these subs directly.
Most of these drywall subcontractors are based in Fort Lauderdale (3), Jupiter (2), Pompano Beach (2), Boynton Beach (1), Coral Springs (1), and Davie (1) — plus 28 more across the metro.
Drywall subcontractors build out the wall and ceiling assemblies that close in a project — light-gauge metal stud framing, gypsum board hang, tape and finish, fire-rated and sound-rated partitions, soffits, and bulkheads. On commercial jobs they price from the architectural set and the Division 09 finishes spec, sequence their work behind MEP rough-in and ahead of acoustic ceiling grid, and carry the wall assemblies that set the building's fire and life-safety ratings.
When a GC is sourcing a drywall subcontractor, they're weighing scope and credentials: who can build the partition types the job calls for — including the rated assemblies and the level-of-finish (Level 4 versus Level 5) the spec sets — who's licensed and insured for it, and who has done similar commercial work. The drawings and the Division 09 spec define the work, including coordination with framers, MEP, and ceiling grid; what a GC wants from a sub is confidence they can perform that scope and carry the right license and insurance. Every listing here puts the sub's trades, service area, and Florida license up front, with phone and website on the profile, so a GC can shortlist drywall subs and reach out directly.
Drywall contracting in Florida falls under the specialty contractor classification regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR. A specialty contractor's license covers the scope of work listed under that classification — drywall, metal stud framing, and gypsum finishing — and can be held at the certified level (statewide scope) or the registered level (limited to the local jurisdiction that issued the competency card). Most drywall packages can also be performed by a general contractor (CGC/CBC/CRC) under their broader license. Florida treats unlicensed contracting as a crime, which is why every drywall sub in this directory carries its DBPR license number.
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. The spec should name the level of finish per area; if it is silent, most subs assume 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. Confirming who carries it up front 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. It is worth confirming 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. Subs usually call this out either way.
Rated walls and shafts are built 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 the assembly numbers confirmed up front.
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 both badges. Verified badges appear on Featured listings.
