Masonry Subcontractors in Florida
73 Florida-licensed masonry subcontractors statewide. Sign in to see phone and email and invite a sub to bid on your RFQ.
Masonry subcontractors lay the unit masonry on a project — concrete block (CMU), brick, stone veneer, lintels, reinforced grouted walls, control joints, and the anchors and ties that tie the masonry into the structure. On commercial jobs they price from the structural and architectural set and Division 04 spec, coordinate reinforcing and embeds with the concrete and steel trades, and follow the foundation out of the ground with work that sets the building's structural shell and exterior envelope.
What GCs ask for
When a GC sends a masonry RFQ, they want a quote against the drawings and the Division 04 spec — unit type and size, reinforcing schedule, grouting, lintels, and veneer details. Bids are typically broken out by square foot for wall area and by each for lintels and specialty units, with separate lines for veneer where it applies. GCs want the bid to call out the unit furnished, reinforcing and grout assumptions, scaffolding, and what's excluded — flashing, weeps, masonry cleaning, sealers, and structural steel lintels furnished by others.

Licensing in Florida
Masonry contracting in Florida falls under the specialty contractor classification regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR. A specialty contractor's license covers the scope of work listed under that classification — unit masonry installation, reinforcing, grouting, and the related accessories — and can be held at the certified level (statewide) or the registered level (local jurisdiction only). Masonry scope can also be performed by a general contractor (CGC/CBC/CRC) under their broader license. Florida treats unlicensed contracting as a crime, which is why every masonry sub in this directory carries its DBPR license number.
Common questions
Who furnishes and installs lintels?
It depends on lintel type. Precast concrete and masonry lintels are typically furnished and installed by the masonry sub. Loose steel lintels are usually furnished by the steel sub and set by the masonry sub. RFQs should call out which lintels are furnished by the masonry sub versus furnished by others; bids should list lintel scope clearly so the GC can reconcile against the steel package.
What about flashing, weeps, and air barriers in the wall?
Through-wall flashing, weeps, and the air barrier behind veneer are often shared scope between masonry, waterproofing, and the air barrier sub. The masonry sub typically installs accessories that land inside the masonry assembly — embedded flashing, weeps, joint reinforcement — while sheet membranes and self-adhered air barriers are often a separate scope. RFQs should call out the boundary so bids price the same envelope.
Is scaffolding included in the bid?
Yes, on most commercial masonry jobs. The masonry sub typically carries its own scaffolding for wall heights beyond a stated reach, and prices it as part of the bid. RFQs should state whether site perimeter scaffolding or shared scaffolding is provided by the GC; if so, the masonry bid can exclude it and note the assumption. Otherwise, expect scaffolding included as a stated line.
Who cleans and seals the masonry?
Final masonry cleaning — acid wash or proprietary cleaner — is usually carried by the masonry sub and priced by square foot. Penetrating sealers on exposed CMU, brick, or stone are sometimes in the masonry scope and sometimes a separate sealer or painting scope. RFQs should state which trade carries cleaning and sealing; bids should list them as separate lines so the GC can confirm.
What does the verification badge on a sub's profile mean?
The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a masonry sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
