Aluminum screen subcontractors furnish and install screen enclosures, pool cages, screen rooms, lanais, and screened carports — a very Florida-specific trade driven by heat, rain, and bugs. Scope includes the structural aluminum framing, screen mesh (standard, no-see-um, or pet-resistant), kick plates, doors and hardware, and the connections to the slab, deck, or host structure. On multifamily and resort jobs they price from the architectural plans and coordinate with the roofing, pool, and concrete trades around attachment points and finish elevations.

What GCs ask for
An aluminum-screen RFQ usually references the architectural elevations and any structural detail for the enclosure, with a clear scope: enclosure footprint, framing color and gauge, screen type, door count and style, kick-plate height, and any super-gutter or roof-edge interface. For bid prep a GC typically wants the quote broken out by enclosure if there are multiple, confirmation the sub priced to the wind-load spec, and a note on whether the quote includes the engineering package and permit drawings. Site-visit jobs — common when tying into an existing structure — will say so up front.
Licensing in Florida
Aluminum screen enclosure work is not a state-licensed trade in Florida — there is no statewide DBPR screen-contractor license the way there is for electrical or plumbing work. Instead, screen and aluminum contractors are regulated at the county or municipal level: many jurisdictions require a specialty competency card or contractor registration, and general-liability insurance (a current certificate of insurance) is the baseline a GC should confirm. Because there is no single state credential to point to, a GC's due diligence on an aluminum-screen sub is about local registration and insurance rather than a DBPR license number — which is why these subs in this directory earn their verified status through the insurance path rather than a license upload.
Common questions
Do aluminum screen contractors in Florida need a state license?
No. Florida has no statewide screen-enclosure or aluminum-contractor license. The trade is regulated locally — most counties and cities require a specialty competency card or registration, plus general-liability insurance.
How do I verify an aluminum-screen subcontractor if there's no state license?
Confirm their local (county or municipal) registration and a current certificate of insurance. On Sunstate Trades, aluminum-screen subs earn verified status through the insurance path rather than a license upload.
What should a GC include in a screen-enclosure RFQ?
The architectural elevations and any structural detail, enclosure footprint, framing color and gauge, screen type, door count, kick-plate height, wind-load spec, and whether engineering and permit drawings are included.
Can I invite an aluminum-screen sub to bid on Sunstate Trades?
Yes. GCs post an RFQ and invite matched subs by trade and service area; invited subs are notified and can submit a bid for your bid prep.
Why do some subs show Insurance Verified instead of License Verified?
The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified; a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified; both earn the Verified Pro umbrella. For trades with no state license, like aluminum screen work, the certificate of insurance is the credential subs upload, so Insurance Verified is the natural badge for the trade.
