Join the GVP Installer Network. Train on our systems, earn your certification, and get matched directly with customers who need professional installation — mezzanines, flooring, electrical, and more.
Certification Tiers
Earn your GVP certification and level up as you complete more jobs. Higher tiers get more visibility, priority placement in our customer-facing directory, and exclusive project access.
You've trained on GVP systems and committed to our installation standards. You're in the directory.
You've proven it in the field. A completed GVP install with documentation puts you on the preferred list.
Top-tier status. Reserved for experienced contractors with proven track records and strong customer reviews.
Trade Categories
You're not just a structural contractor. GVP projects need a full crew — and we certify every trade on the list. Get certified in one or all of them.
The primary GVP certification. Covers bolt-together structural assembly, column base plates, anchor bolts, beam connections, and safety compliance.
Bar grate, diamond plate, and LVP deck installation. Covers fastening patterns, load distribution, and edge finishing for both industrial and office mezzanines.
Under-deck lighting, panel access, outlet installation, and conduit runs. One of the top upsell categories — customers almost always ask about lighting.
Touch-up painting, full repaints, and custom color-matching post-install. Covers surface prep, primer, topcoats, and powder-coat matching on steel.
Luxury vinyl plank installation over mezzanine decking. High demand on office and retail mezzanines where finish quality matters.
Sprinkler system installation and modification required under and above the mezzanine deck. Code-required in many jurisdictions — a missing sub can stall an entire project.

The Installer Database
When a customer orders a GVP mezzanine, they get access to our installer directory filtered by their location, project type, and trade needed. Your certified profile is what they see. The more complete your record, the more leads you get.
Certification and directory listing are free. We make money when you help our customers — so there's no upfront fee to get started.
GVP ships nationwide. As our installer network grows, customers get matched to certified contractors wherever their project is located.
Certify in one trade or all of them. More certs mean more project types, more leads, and more revenue per customer.
Our customers buy a mezzanine kit and then need someone to put it together. They're not looking on Craigslist — they want a contractor who actually knows the system. That's exactly what the certified directory provides.
Why Get Certified
Every customer who buys a GVP system is a potential lead. They've already made the purchase — they just need someone certified to install it. You don't have to find them; we connect them to you.
The GVP Certified badge tells customers you know this system. That's a competitive advantage over a generic contractor who's never touched a bolt-together mezzanine kit before.
Complete everything online at your own pace. No weekend seminars or travel costs. The training is built around real GVP assembly sequences so it's actually useful — not just a checkbox.
Certify in structural, decking, electrical, and painting and you become the one-call solution for a full mezzanine buildout. Customers prefer fewer subs. You earn more per project.
GVP systems evolve. Annual recertification keeps your knowledge up to date and your directory listing active — showing customers you're current, not a contractor who trained years ago and disappeared.
Set your service radius in your profile. As GVP grows its national customer base, certified contractors in every region get access to nearby project leads they'd never find on their own.
Go Vertical Platforms builds and ships custom steel mezzanine kits — but we don't install them. That gap is a business opportunity for you. As we grow the number of customers we serve nationwide, the installer program grows with it. The earlier you get certified, the more established your profile becomes in the directory.
