Fence Subcontractors in Florida
85 Florida-licensed fence subcontractors statewide. Sign in to see phone and email and invite a sub to bid on your RFQ.
Fence subcontractors furnish and install perimeter and site fencing — chain-link, ornamental aluminum and steel, wood, vinyl, and the gates, hardware, and access controls that go with them. On commercial and site-development jobs they price from the site plan and civil drawings, set posts to grade, and coordinate with the site-work and landscaping trades around utilities, easements, and finish grading.
What GCs ask for
A fence RFQ usually points at the site plan and any fence detail or spec, with a clear scope: linear footage, fence type and height, gate count and type (including any operators or access control), and post and footing detail. For bid prep a GC typically wants the quote broken out by run and gate so bids compare cleanly, confirmation the sub priced to the plan, and a note on whether the quote includes layout, locates, and removal of existing fence. Site-visit-required jobs — common for fencing, since grade and access drive the price — will say so up front.

Licensing in Florida
Fencing is not a state-licensed trade in Florida — there is no statewide DBPR fence-contractor license the way there is for electrical or plumbing work. Instead, fence contractors are regulated at the county or municipal level: many jurisdictions require a local competency card or contractor registration, and general-liability insurance (a current certificate of insurance) is the baseline a GC should confirm. Because there's no single state credential to point to, a GC's due diligence on a fence sub is about local registration and insurance rather than a DBPR license number — which is why fence subs in this directory earn their verified status through the insurance path rather than a license upload.
Common questions
Do fence contractors in Florida need a state license?
No. Florida has no statewide fence-contractor license. Fencing is regulated locally — most counties and cities require a competency card or registration, plus general-liability insurance.
How do I verify a fence subcontractor if there's no state license?
Confirm their local (county or municipal) registration and a current certificate of insurance. On Sunstate Trades, fence subs earn verified status through the insurance path rather than a license upload.
What should a GC include in a fence RFQ?
The site plan and any fence detail, linear footage, fence type and height, gate count and type, footing detail, and whether a site visit is required.
Can I invite a fence 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 fencing, the certificate of insurance is the credential subs upload, so Insurance Verified is the natural badge for the trade.
