Steps
Check DBPR/Construction Industry Licensing Board requirements for the Gypsum Drywall Contractor specialty license category
Verify minimum qualifying experience (years in light steel framing, gypsum board installation and finishing, including foreman time) before applying
Confirm the applicant must pass both the trade knowledge exam and the business/finance state exam
Check whether local county/city permitting (e.g., Miami-Dade) adds registration requirements beyond the state license
Verify license status and classification on the DBPR public licensee search before contracting
Known gotchas
Florida requires a specific state specialty license for drywall work, unlike states with no statewide contractor licensing requirement — do not assume license reciprocity across states
Local jurisdictions can layer additional registration/permit requirements on top of the state license
Using an unlicensed subcontractor for gypsum work in Florida can expose the general contractor to liability
