Garage Door Subcontractors in Florida
29 Florida-licensed garage door subcontractors statewide. Sign in to see phone and email and invite a sub to bid on your RFQ.
Garage door subcontractors furnish and install overhead doors and their hardware — sectional residential doors, rolling steel and sectional commercial doors, openers and operators, springs and cables, tracks, weather seals, and any access controls or safety sensors. On Florida multifamily and commercial jobs, impact-rated doors and wind-load product approval matter for the building envelope. The trade coordinates with framing and rough carpentry at the opening, electrical for opener power, and the painter for finished surfaces.
What GCs ask for
A garage-door RFQ usually references the door schedule, architectural elevations, and any structural detail for the opening, with a clear scope: door count and sizes, product series and finish, wind-load or impact rating where required, opener type, and any access-control or safety-sensor scope. For bid prep a GC typically wants the quote broken out by door, confirmation the sub priced to the schedule and product-approval requirements, and a note on whether the quote includes the opener, weather seals, and electrical rough-in coordination. Lead times for commercial overhead doors are usually called out.

Licensing in Florida
Garage door installation is not a state-licensed trade in Florida — there is no statewide DBPR garage-door-contractor license the way there is for electrical or plumbing work. Instead, garage door 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. Some manufacturers require installer certification for specific product lines, but that is a product-specific credential rather than a state license. Garage door subs in this directory earn their verified status through the insurance path rather than a license upload.
Common questions
Do garage door contractors in Florida need a state license?
No. Florida has no statewide garage-door-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 a garage door subcontractor if there's no state license?
Confirm their local (county or municipal) registration and a current certificate of insurance. Manufacturer installer certifications are also useful for product-specific scopes. On Sunstate Trades, garage-door subs earn verified status through the insurance path rather than a license upload.
What should a GC include in a garage-door RFQ?
The door schedule and architectural elevations, door count and sizes, product series and finish, wind-load or impact rating where required, opener type, and whether weather seals and electrical coordination are included.
Can I invite a garage-door 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 garage doors, the certificate of insurance is the credential subs upload, so Insurance Verified is the natural badge for the trade.
