Framing subcontractors put up the structural framing on a project — wood and light-gauge steel framing, sheathing, blocking, joists, trusses, headers, and shear walls. On commercial jobs they price from the structural set and the architectural plans, coordinate openings and blocking with MEP and the drywall trade that follows, and carry the work that defines the building's structural shell at the floor and wood-framed roof level, including the bearing assemblies the rest of the trades hang from.
When a GC is sourcing a framing subcontractor, they're weighing scope and coverage: who can put up the structural framing the job calls for — wall types, headers, shear walls, trusses, and connectors — whether the sub carries the insurance the work calls for, and who has done similar commercial work. The structural drawings and the framing plans define the work — the lumber grade or stud gauge, the connector schedule, and whether sheathing and trusses are furnished or installed only; what a GC wants from a sub is confidence they can handle that scope and carry current insurance. Every listing here puts the sub's trades, service area, and credentials up front, with phone and website on the profile, so a GC can shortlist framing subs and reach out directly.
Framing and structural carpentry are not separately state-licensed in Florida — there is no statewide DBPR framing-contractor license the way there is for electrical or plumbing work. Framing is most often carried under a general contractor's license (CGC/CBC/CRC), and standalone framing subs are regulated at the county or municipal level, where many jurisdictions require a competency card or contractor registration. General-liability insurance — a current certificate of insurance — is the baseline a GC should confirm, which is why framing subs in this directory typically earn their verified status through the insurance path rather than a license upload.
Roof and floor trusses are typically furnished by a truss manufacturer under their own engineering and delivered to site — the framer installs them. Engineered wood products (LVLs, glulams, I-joists) are sometimes furnished by the framer and sometimes by the GC. It is worth stating who furnishes each category, and a clear scope lists furnishing assumptions so the GC can reconcile against the structural package.
Yes. Joist hangers, hurricane straps, hold-downs, and the rest of the connector schedule are part of the framing scope in Florida — hurricane connectors are a code-driven cost that can swing the number materially. The sub should name the connector manufacturer (or equivalent) and confirm whether the schedule shown on the structural drawings is fully covered. Hold-down anchors that embed into concrete are usually furnished by the framer.
Structural blocking — at shear walls, between joists, at bearing points — is carried by the framer as part of the structural scope. Non-structural blocking for casework, grab bars, TVs, and other wall-mounted items varies by job; sometimes the framer carries it, sometimes the drywall sub, sometimes the GC self-performs. It is worth calling out non-structural blocking by location so subs cover the same scope.
Sometimes. Rough openings are framed by the framer; installation of the actual windows and exterior doors is a separate scope on most commercial jobs, often carried by the window or curtainwall sub. On wood-framed light commercial and multifamily, the framer may set windows as part of the dry-in package. It is worth stating which trade carries window and exterior-door install.
The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified license earns License Verified, a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows both badges. Because framing has no state license, the certificate of insurance is the credential most framing subs upload, so Insurance Verified is the natural badge for the trade.
