Roofing Subcontractors in Florida

What GCs ask for

When a GC sends a roofing RFQ, they're usually looking for a quote against a defined scope: the roof plan and Division 07 spec section, a clear inclusion and exclusion list (tear-off, decking repair, insulation R-value, membrane system, flashings, warranty term), and the sub's read on the manufacturer warranty being specified. 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 warranty requirements, and the sub's license and insurance on file.

Licensing in Florida

Roofing contracting in Florida is a state-licensed trade, regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR. There are two tiers: a certified roofing contractor (license prefix CCC) is authorized to work anywhere in the state, while a registered roofing contractor (RC) is limited to the local jurisdiction that issued their competency card. Florida treats unlicensed contracting as a crime, so a GC confirming a sub's active CILB license is doing basic bid-prep diligence — which is why every roofing sub in this directory carries its DBPR license number.
