What GCs ask for
When a GC sends a glazing RFQ, they're usually looking for a quote against a defined scope: the architectural drawings with the Division 08 glazing spec section, a clear inclusion and exclusion list (storefront, curtainwall, windows, doors, interior glass, hardware, perimeter sealants), and the sub's read on long-lead items like custom curtainwall systems and specialty insulating glass units. For bid prep a GC typically wants pricing broken out enough to compare apples-to-apples, confirmation the sub priced to the spec book including performance ratings, and the sub's license and insurance on file.
Licensing in Florida
Glazing contracting in Florida is regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR as a specialty contractor classification (SCC). Unlike the primary CILB trades, the SCC framework does not split into a certified statewide tier and a registered single-jurisdiction tier — it is its own specialty classification system, with the scope of work defined by the class held. Florida treats unlicensed contracting as a crime, so a GC confirming a sub's active CILB specialty classification is doing basic bid-prep diligence — which is why every glazing sub in this directory carries its DBPR license number.
Common questions
Do glazing subcontractors in Florida need a state license?
Yes. Glazing is regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR as a specialty contractor classification (SCC). Every glazing sub in this directory carries an active DBPR license number.
Is a glazing license the same as a general contractor's license?
No. Glazing falls under the CILB's specialty contractor classification (SCC), which is distinct from a general, building, or residential contractor's license. The SCC class defines the scope of glazing work the sub is authorized to perform.
What should a GC include in a glazing RFQ?
The architectural drawings and Division 08 glazing spec section, a scope inclusion and exclusion list (storefront, curtainwall, windows, doors, interior glass, hardware, perimeter sealants), any long-lead curtainwall or specialty glass items, the bid deadline, and whether a site visit is required.
Can I invite a glazing 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.
Are these glazing subs verified, and what does the badge mean?
Listings are seeded from public Florida DBPR license data, and a sub can claim its listing and upload a credential for a one-time review. The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a glazing sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
