70 Florida-licensed sign subcontractors serve Tampa Bay (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco & Hernando Counties). Browse listings below, or create a free* GC account to see phone and email and invite a sub to bid on your RFQ.
Most of these sign subcontractors are based in Clearwater (6), Tampa (5), Lutz (3), Bradenton (2), Brooksville (2), and Cocoa (2) — plus 50 more across the metro.
Sign subcontractors furnish, fabricate, and install electrical signage — channel letters, cabinet signs, illuminated wall and pylon signs, monument signs, and the wiring that ties the sign back to the building's electrical service. On commercial jobs they price from the sign drawings and the electrical spec, coordinate with the general electrician on circuiting and disconnects, handle their own permits for the sign installation, and bring the equipment — bucket trucks, cranes — needed to set the work.

A sign RFQ usually points at the sign drawings, the elevation showing placement, and any landlord or jurisdiction sign code, with a clear scope: sign type, dimensions, illumination, mounting, and whether permitting is included. For bid prep a GC typically wants the quote broken out by sign so bids compare cleanly, confirmation the sub priced to the drawings, and a note on coordination with the building electrician for the disconnect and circuit. Site-visit-required jobs — common when mounting conditions or sightlines drive the price — will say so up front.
Electrical signage is a state-licensed trade in Florida, regulated by the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (ECLB) under the DBPR as an electrical specialty classification for signs. The license is distinct from the general electrical license — it authorizes installation and service of electrical signage rather than building power and lighting in general. Like other ECLB licenses it comes in a certified tier, which authorizes statewide work, and a registered tier, which is limited to the local jurisdiction that issued the competency card. Confirming a sub's active ECLB sign-specialty license is basic bid-prep diligence.
Yes. Electrical signage is regulated statewide by the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (ECLB) under the DBPR, as a specialty classification distinct from the general electrical license. Certified licenses authorize statewide work; registered licenses are limited to the local jurisdiction.
Not in the way the ECLB scopes the work. Electrical sign work has its own specialty classification under the ECLB, and a sub holding only the general electrical license is not specifically credentialed for sign installation. GCs should match the credential to the scope.
The sign drawings and elevation, any landlord or jurisdiction sign code, sign type and dimensions, illumination and mounting detail, whether permitting is included, the bid deadline, and whether a site visit is required.
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.
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 an electrical sign sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
